Malta

As a small and unsuspecting country located between the coasts of Italy and Africa, Malta is often overlooked by travellers as a hot tourist destination. But don’t be fooled, this little country has a lot to offer anyone who loves to have a good time.

Full of tide pools that you can swim in, and gorgeous warm beaches, Malta offers travellers plenty of paradise locations. Whether you’re going with friends, on your own, or with a significant other, taking some relaxation time on the beach is always an amazing idea.

If you’re looking to party, Malta also offers a vast variety of nightlife that’s often visited by Europeans looking for a different nightlife experience. Downtown parts of Malta have clubs, bars and amazing restaurants that look over the ocean. No matter what kind of music, food or cultural experience you’re looking for, Malta is an incredible place to visit.

Uganda

Located in East Africa, Uganda is a country that offers lush landscapes, immense wildlife and some of the friendliest people in the world. If you’re looking to visit cascading waterfalls, spot wild gorillas, and eat delicious food from street vendors, then Uganda may be the perfect place for you to visit.

Full of hundreds of species of birds and bamboo forests that go on for miles, the natural environment of Uganda is breathtaking. It’s also known for being one of the safest places to travel within Africa, and many solo travellers opt to spend time there if they’re hoping for a rich cultural experience.

Hisarlik

Ever heard of the battle of Troy? The site of Hisarlik, located in Turkey, is a beautiful piece of history that has been explored by many. Though people often flock to places like the Colosseum in Rome, Hisarlik offers a quieter, more unique viewing experience. To see the ruins of where a city once existed is life-changing. It may give you a new perspective on the world we live in, and gain a deeper understanding of the history of humankind.

No matter where you decide to travel in the future, thinking outside the box can offer you the chance to see a part of the world you never have before. Travelling offers you the chance to experience other cultures, learn more about the world around you, and go on exciting adventures. Always remember to pick the right travel buddies, and be diligent in planning your trip.
