No matter what you are looking forwhen it comes to travel—excitement, adventures, the exotic, or relaxation—one of the below spots may fit the bill. Some of these may even surprise you by what they have to offer.

• Cape Town in Southern Africa—This place offers quite a bit of variety. There is the modern and nearly opulent beauty of the place set against the backdrop of the wild. Everything from bars, museums, zoos, aquariums, to outdoor excursions and the experience of a rich culture exists here. Day or night there is always something to do.

 

• Las Vegas—Everyone knows about this location. Try your luck with the gambling, catch a variety of amazing shows and talent, and enjoy the sumptuous foods. Visit the Bellagio fountains or Shark Reef for something a little different. 

 

• Thailand—This is the place for outdoor excursions. Go on a hot-air balloon ride, surf, go to one of the many monthly festivals, visit historical and cultural attractions, go snorkelling, do themed travel or get itineraries to backpack through the beautiful landscapes.

 

• Australia—No trip to Australia should end without seeing the magnificent Sydney Opera House. Even if you’re not a fan of architecture in general, you’re bound to appreciate the artistic styling of this wonder.

 

Take in the Museum of Old & New Art, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, backpack through the wilderness, enjoy sport events, visit Sydney as well as Melbourne for two distinctly different atmospheres.  Make sure to ask people about the local wildlife as Australia has many poisonous or dangerous creatures and don’t try to hug the koala bears.

 

Don’t forget your travel insurance before you head out to one of these amazing and popular locales.
