these might surprise you… usually, when you hea these might surprise you…

usually, when you hear about asia travel, you hear about japan and thailand. I LOVE those countries (have been to both twice), but the continent has so many underrated destinations that end up being really memorable because you don’t expect them to be as spectacular as they are

are any of these countries on your bucket list? if they aren’t… add them right now!

words that never get old: welcome to thailand 🥹 words that never get old: welcome to thailand 🥹🛺🇹🇭🏝️🐘🥭

thailand was the top country on my travel bucket list until I got to visit in 2023, and I went back earlier this year to spend a whole month there because I can’t get enough 💛 I’ll never check it off my bucket list because I could keep going back forever!! what country will you always keep traveling back to?

just want to say - I don’t support kanye west in any way shape or form, this is a trending audio and I had no idea it was him 👎

cinco de mayo has me itching to go back to mexico cinco de mayo has me itching to go back to mexico 🇲🇽🌵🥑🌶 🌮🌯

did you know that cinco de mayo celebrates mexico’s victory over the second french empire at the battle of puebla in 1862? 40% of americans don’t - they think it’s mexico’s independence day but it actually isn’t a federal holiday at all!

I coincidentally spent cinco de mayo in mexico a few years ago and our resort went all out for the celebrations, including mexico themed drinks and a mariachi band at dinner 🎸🍹

mexico is way more than pretty beaches and good food (although those are great) - from swimming in cenotes to visiting one of the wonders of the world, there’s so much to discover. I can’t wait for my next mexico trip!

this restaurant in luang prabang is set on its own this restaurant in luang prabang is set on its own private section of kuang si falls, complete with a private natural swimming pool and delicious food 🌿🦋🌊

WHERE
carpe diem restaurant at kuang si falls, luang prabang, laos - walking distance from the entrance of the falls

WHEN
open 9am-5pm every day

WHAT
a western lao fusion restaurant set above a private part of the famous turquoise blue kuang si falls. the falls are an extremely crowded tourist attraction (for good reason - they’re beautiful) so this is the perfect place to escape for lunch with a view, take a swim in a private natural swimming pool, and enjoy the falls without crowds

a top thing to do in luang prabang that almost no one knows about - save so you can visit this hidden gem on your laos trip & link in bio for my full luang prabang travel guide
