Which trip style is right for you?

Essential: Room with 3+ other travelers in conveniently located hostels. For social butterflies who thrive on meeting other people.

Plus: Stay with just one other person in 3 or 4-star hotels. Perfect for couples or anyone who enjoys recharging in their own space.

Why go?

What’s the best part about discovering the other side of the world? It could be the diverse and vibrant cities. It could be swimming through a coral reef you can see from space. It could be the koalas. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s discovering the other side of yourself.
