Whether heading to rural Japan or the futuristic city vibe of Tokyo – this country is a box of cultural and natural delights! Cherry blossoms in the springtime and the vibrant hues of autumn make these seasons the most popular time for a visit. Must-dos while you are here include riding a bullet train, attending a tea ceremony, watching sumo wrestling, visiting a shrine, attend a sushi-making workshop, and climbing one of Japan’s many mountains.
Costa Rica

Lush jungles, sandy beaches, rainforest rambles and incredible wildlife make Costa Rica a top destination for our 2023 bucket list! The saying here is “relax and enjoy the ride” which might be fine while soaking up the sun on a beach or on a gentle hike, but maybe more difficult if you opt for white water rafting or zip-lining! This paradise, also known as the Rich Coast, really does have something for everyone and worthy contender for a trip of a lifetime.
Monaco

Rub shoulders with the rich and even richer and taste a slice of the high life. Monaco is blessed with beautiful weather, quaint streets, awesome vistas, amazing places to wine and dine, and even more amazing places to shop. The best bit is that you don’t have to be mega-rich to enjoy your time here. Simply watching the world go by one super car at a time makes a trip here well worth it! A visit to the cave and the oceanarium are a must too!
Bora Bora

The palm-fringed island sands are white, the sea is a multitude of shades of blue, and the mountainous backdrops are just divine.

The lagoon is considered one of the most impressive snorkelling spots in the world with coral gardens, manta rays, sea turtles and dolphins.
