Countries

Picking a country for your next trip is a bit like choosing a movie on a long-haul flight. Too many options, not enough snacks. Still, you gotta start somewhere, right?

Countries you'll probably Google again after you leave

Traveling the world sounds simple. Until you're three tabs deep in destination guides, trying to figure out if Thailand has too much rain in June or if Portugal counts as relaxing. (Spoiler: it does, unless you're hiking uphill in Lisbon.) Every country has its quirks. Some serve breakfast with beans. Others consider donkeys a legit form of transport. That’s the fun part.

Planning your holiday destination isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about the weird coffee in Vietnam that kind of grows on you. Or the accommodation in Iceland that looks like a shipping container but has a hot tub with a mountain view. These aren’t brochure moments. These are the ones you bring up three wines deep at a dinner party. Usually with gestures.

So take your time. Explore travel ideas that aren’t trending (yet). Maybe it’s Georgia - the country, not the state - or maybe it’s New Zealand again because one trip wasn’t enough. Our list of countries isn't exhaustive. But it’s the kind that sparks a tab-opening spree at midnight when you were just checking your email. Don’t worry. We’ve all been there.
