Where to go in the world?

Backpacking around the world?

  • There is so much to see that instead of a page we could fill an entire website about this... Oh but wait, we did! See above all the countries of the world and their unique features :). What else we can say here: the world is your playground! Each continent has something special to offer, and here is a very short list of some of the best places: 
  • South America: Patagonia for epic hikes, Colombia for fun locals and culture and Ecuador for unique culture. 
  • Asia: Thailand as backpacker Mecca (or make it a tour of Southeast Asia right away), Japan for a combo of modern and traditional and many conveniences, Nepal for the real hikers and spiritualists among us. 
  • Africa: Namibia for vast deserts, Tanzania for safaris and Kilimanjaro and Madagascar for if you really want to see totally unique nature and encounter few others. 
  • Europe: Portugal for charming and affordable vacations, Paris, Berlin, London and Prague for fun city trips, Scotland for rugged nature and Outlander lovers and Albania for Eastern European authenticity with modern conveniences.
  • Oceania: New Zealand for pristine landscapes, Fiji for a true paradise and Australia for mega-long road trips. 
  • North America: for conveniences and pricey trips, but fun and modern with beautiful nature. 
  • Antarctica: if you have the opportunity and money, let us know in the comments how it was!
  • Activity spotting: too many to mention. Otherwise, start with the 7 wonders of the world, or the highest mountain on each continent, or go on a fun city break.   

Study around the world?

  • Best places: UK, US, Singapore (but also expensive), Germany, Finland, Netherlands, Australia.
  • Better not to: Nauru because there is no university there, North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, conflict zones but also many other countries that are still developing unless you like to learn about local customs and nature. 

Internship in the world?

  • There is so much out there! Think Switzerland for luxury corporate internships, Costa Rica for ecotourism and nature conservation, India for innovative and cultural challenges, etc etc etc. 
  • Competencies: international cooperation, flexibility, adaptability, language skills. 

Volunteer around the world?

  • You make the most difference in poorer countries where they could use your help. Consider volunteering in the areas of education, community development, health care, child care, women's empowerment, helping start businesses, nature and animal protection etc. 

Working around the world?

  • In each country, it is totally different. If you want to go for a high salary, look at Switzerland and Singapore. Canada is otherwise pretty migrant friendly and as a European you can of course work anywhere in Europe. 

Working as a digital nomad around the world?

  • As a digital nomad, you have a choice of the ultimate digital nomad places like Bali, Chiang Mai, Medellín and Lisbon, or quieter places like Puebla, Vilnius, Gran Canaria, Dakar. 
  • Places not to recommend: North Korea, Antarctica, Baghdad, Pacific islands and conflict zones, of course. 

Living in the world?

  • Here you can go for adventure combined with challenges, uncertainty and risk, or safer places that may be more like home and have similar amenities. 
  • The world is full of diversity, from the samba of Brazil to the tea ceremonies of Japan. The best places depend on your preferences for adventure, tranquility or tradition.
  • But ... no matter where you live, go and explore, always make sure you take care and have your own well-covered health insurance.
