Do your wallet a solid by timing your booking for the very best prices of the year. (Friendly reminder: That\u2019s now in our Great Adventure Sale<\/a>). But where to go for maximum value? Peru\u2019s a superb deal thanks to its abundance of scenery, wildlife, mountain vistas, epic activities, and exclusive stays in one jam-packed itinerary.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Amazon to the Andes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Anticipation isn\u2019t just a Carly Simon song, it\u2019s proven to be a huge mood booster. Put a week\u2019s vacation on the books now with an express trip taking in the wonderment of Northern Thailand in Kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya, and Chiang Mai. Get hyped on sleeping in a floating rafthouse, seeing multi-tiered Erewan Falls, and witnessing the serenity of temples new and old.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Bangkok to Chiang Mai Express<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n If you\u2019re in that 18-to-Thirtysomethings<\/a> range, you’re likely looking to travel on a tighter budget. But that doesn\u2019t mean missing out on maximum fun! Spend 15 days roadtripping from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with epic stops in Hue, Hoi An, and Nha Trang among others. The basics (and then some) are covered and you can opt in to extra activities as your budget allows. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Vietnam: Roadtrip Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n What if we told you that you could learn a dizzying amount about Egypt in two weeks without googling it? Put down your phone (unless it\u2019s up for pictures) and turn your attention to our local Egyptologists leading the way through ancient history. You\u2019ll wander the region\u2019s iconic attractions, learn hidden secrets, and get first-hand experience of daily life in Egypt including a home-cooked meal. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Highlights of Egypt<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n Travel is inspiration itself and no place delivers it quite like the colourful rural life, architecture, and culture found in Northern India. Want to try your hand at travel photography? Bring an analog camera and 35mm film to capture the grainy goodness of the Pink City of Jaipur, the Amber Fort, ancient stepwells, and rural villages. Or, get hands on at a women-led block printing experience to see if this centuries-old art form is for you.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Golden Triangle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Doctors these days aren\u2019t happy unless your eyeballs are floating, so we suggest heading to the parched sands of Jordan to encourage greater hydration. (We are not doctors but this is surely sound medical advice.) Once there you can sip on your favourite reusable water bottle as you zoom over the Wadi Rum desert in a 4×4, dine on a traditional dinner, and overnight in a Bedouin tent. Drink up ahead of your Dead Sea dip as the high salt content can dehydrate you quickly! <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Highlights of Jordan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Each new year is a chance to rack up fresh accomplishments like reaching the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro. But you won\u2019t get far if the first time you lace them up is at the base of the 62km (37 mi) climb. Find a comfy pair of lightweight and waterproof hiking boots and work them in at your local trails first to lessen how much your feet will be \u201cKili-ing\u201d you on Africa\u2019s highest peak.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Mt Kilimanjaro Trek – Machame Route (8 Days)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Hiking, biking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, surfing, and ziplining \u2014 Costa Rica makes it easy to try them all. As the \u2018Adventure Capital of the Americas\u2019, it\u2019s the perfect place for thrill-seekers new and old to try all of the activities. Plus, there\u2019s time to unwind (and soothe aching muscles) at our remote rainforest lodge and the beach at Puerto Viejo.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Costa Rica Active Adventure<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n Interested in befriending people that few outsiders even have the honour to meet? That\u2019s exactly what you do on a Local Living trip to the Amazon Rainforest. Get whisked to your new jungle home to meet the Quicha family hosting you for four nights. You\u2019ll discover jungle waterfalls, travel to an animal rescue by canoe, and learn how to use a blowgun at a shaman ceremony! <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Local Living Ecuador\u2014Amazon Jungle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Part of the fun before a big foreign trip is prepping yourself with key phrases like, \u201cthis sushi isn\u2019t sitting right\u201d or \u201ccan I hug the deer in Nara?\u201d (The answer to the latter is no but you can feed them deer crackers!) Start cramming now by downloading language apps like Duolingo, watching Japanese shows with subtitles, or connecting online with language exchange partners. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Japan Express \u2013 Osaka to Tokyo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tired of waiting for free time to align with your adventure buddies?

There\u2019s no better place to unwind your mind than the spiritual and tropical wonderland of Bali. Your journey inward starts with a traditional offering in Ubud before immersing yourself in nine days of yoga, healing ceremonies, and healthier eating. Plus, the serene beaches of Pemuteran and Sanur help you feel better about, well, everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Wellness Bali<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Gone are the days of dragging giant suitcases across the globe so that you can have the comforts of home along for the ride. Minimalism and a lighter load are where it\u2019s at especially when you\u2019re overnighting in the wildlife-packed salt pans of Etosha National Park. Leave only footprints on star dunes in the Namib Desert, tread lightly through a Quiver Tree Forest, and support the San people with a visit to their heritage centre. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Cape & Dunes Discoverer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n While we don\u2019t recommend running out and scaling Mount Everest next week, we do appreciate lofty goals and offer the next best thing. For active adventurers not afraid to break a sweat, our Everest Base Camp Trek rewards you with well-earned views of mighty Himalayan peaks, Sherpa villages, glacial moraines, and next-level bragging rights for years to come.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Everest Base Camp Trek<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In our work from anywhere era, it\u2019s easier to stay productive while enjoying a major change of scenery. Many destinations like Lima are ideal for digital nomads or those just looking to stay longer in one place. The city has high-speed internet, plenty of co-working spaces, and tasty Peruvian cafes for lunch. Most importantly, it\u2019s a solid base for paid time off to tackle the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu without the long slog back to WFH or the office. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Inca Discovery Plus<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Why do some families fly all the way to Thailand just to lie on the beach? We’re stumped. The best family memories are made when your trip is packed with bona fide local experiences like longboat tours of Bangkok’s klongs<\/em> (canals), meeting hill tribe communities, hands-on cooking classes in Chiang Mai, and then plenty of free time to swim and surf in Phuket. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Thailand Family Adventure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For those with completionist tendencies, you can find any number of cool scratch-off, sticker, or pushpin ways to track your progress through iconic American parklands. And we can help you make a serious dent with one 16-day trip through seven of the best national parks in the west: Joshua Tree, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Sequoia, and Yosemite.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: USA National Parks Explorer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If you’ve ever been caught drinking straight from the gravy boat, it might be time to take stock of your eating habits. Rather than counting calories and making yourself miserable, increasing your physical activity is a gateway to healthier eating. Even better if you\u2019re prepping for an active vacation that includes hiking, biking, kayaking, and more to get an authentic taste of Vietnam. Did we mention there\u2019s noodles? Oodles of them but you can just work them off! <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Vietnam Hike, Bike & Kayak<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to think of a more tantalizing adventure than tasting your way through most of Morocco. Let the souk spices lead the way to lively group dinners, hands-on goat cheese making on a farm in the Rif Mountains, Moroccan bakery and food tours, desert camp teas, and tasty tangia lunch you learned to make yourself. Yum yum! <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Morocco: North, South & Marrakech<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Once the champagne cork pops on a new year and the hangover kicks in, you might want to go easier on the tipple. Our recommendation? Head for a place like the Maldives where drinking among the local people is strictly forbidden. That\u2019s not to say you can\u2019t drink (resorts and live aboard boats serve visitors) but it\u2019s easier to cut back when it\u2019s not part of the culture. Plus, you\u2019ll be surrounded by the endless natural highs of sunny atolls and epic marine life.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Sri Lanka & Maldives Adventure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A tour that shuttles you from stop to stop for a quick photo op is not our kind of adventure. At the heart of every itinerary is creating opportunities to uplift local communities with your visit. Meet local Nepalese women and learn to make momos for lunch, experience the Dragon Kingdom with cultural interactions at a local farm, learn block printing at a women-led workshop in Jaipur, and spend a night with the indigenous Tharu community in Chitwan. <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Himalayan Adventure: India, Nepal & Bhutan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Know someone who needs to get out of their comfort zone in a way that feels comfortable to them? Maybe your mom puts everyone else first or your bestie can\u2019t deal with logistics. Book them onto a holiday with you where your local skipper shows them the ropes on our yacht. Let the wind and a flexible schedule take you from Venice along the Adriatic coastline for idyllic stops on the way to Slovenia and Croatia.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Sailing Italy to Croatia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Forget counting sheep \u2014 we think counting Icelandic horses and gazing at otherworldly auras makes for peaceful slumber. After the long dark days of Icelandic winter, hikes to waterfalls, lava cave explorations, and hot spring dips you\u2019ll be ready for bed in no time. Long after you return home from spending crisp nights looking northward, memories of the Aurora Borealis will bring you peace of mind. Honk-shoo! <\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Iceland Northern Lights & Golden Circle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n An adventure is best when the people you meet and the memories made stay with you long after the journey home. From chronicling a moment on the Inca Trail in a travel journal, to taking home a handwoven scarf from the Ccaccaccollo Women’s Weaving Co-op, to gathering spices for a Peruvian recipe, there are plenty of ways to capture connections beyond plastic souvenirs. Stay in touch with your fellow travellers, send a postcard to your homestay hosts, or plan to return again some day soon for lasting good feels.<\/p>\n Resolve to join us on: Absolute Peru<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n1.
