Sri Lanka
Flights are affordable and the country is still reasonably cheap and un -
touristy. We had a chat to Jordan (hostel manager, St Kilda bar crawl host,
Sushi enthusiast and all round top bloke), who recently travelled Sri Lanka by
Tuk Tuk and Scooter. In his words, "30 years of civil war came to an end
in 2009 which opened Sri Lanka's doors to tourism with attractions including
tea plantations, wildlife viewing, jungles and beaches. Right now as the word
is still getting out, there's an opportunity to get in before the tourist
crowds. But don't expect it to last for much longer."
Colombia
Colombia describes Colombians as "some of the friendliest and most
inquisitive people. Such varied terrain means that there's always something to
see, do and photograph. It's got everything, from the laidback Caribbean coast,
to football madness and a fierce political history and a morbid history that
still resonates today."
South Africa
South Africa has been on the radar for a number of years, but
international tourism has really taken off recently. Southern tip of Africa for
great food and wine, great beaches or get lost in Kruger National Park while
spotting animals in the wild. An absolute must do for the bucket list."
Israel
Jerusalem is clearly the
historical and cultural capital and the winding cavernous streets that populate
the old city are full of exciting landmarks. People wise it's by far the most
packed in, forced diversity I've witnessed. I'd recommend jumping on the bus
from the Damascus Gate to the West Bank city of Ramallah. The Palestine people
have been given a bad rap for a long time, but I met some of the friendliest
people I've ever met during my days in Ramallah - try Taybeh the Palestinian
beer, or sit with the old gents on the sidewalks for a Hookah and a game of
Shesh Besh." Tensions and violence have escalated the last week in
Jerusalem. Always check safety cautions with your local government.
Iceland
Iceland has been included in lists of best travel destinations,
primarily for the country's "natural attractions, from the hot springs to
its striking mountains and plains," as well as the capital city's thriving
"artistic scene." Iceland's geysers, glaciers, thermal springs and
sulphuric smell of egg in the air are comparable to the volcanic activity of
New Zealand - either way, it's on our list. Iceland... we're coming for you!
Uruguay
Uruguay has also made our list! Why? It's cheap and a little off the
traditional South American trail. Nestled between Brazil and Argentina, this
little touch of paradise is really only visited by those backpackers not
following the traditional route from Rio to Buenes Aires. Uruguay's La Barra
Beach has constantly been named one of the world's best party beaches.
Need we say more?
Australia
Australia is amazing for backpackers! Australia has a little something
for everyone; from a unique culture to endless stretches of surf beach, the
world's largest living organism (the Great Barrier Reef), the world's oldest
living organism (the Stomatalites) and the world's largest sand island (Fraser Island)
Nepal
Nepal’s Trekking through the Himalayas has for a long time been a major
tourist attraction.The views of the mightly and glowing 'Fish Tail' from Annapuran
Base Camp really put into perspective just how insignificant we really
are. Much of the guest houses in Pokhara and Kathmandu are still open for
business and the Nepalese people, despite the tragic events, remain friendly
and hospitable. Nepal is extremely affordable for any budget conscious
traveller and the country's rich history, colourful Stupas, bustling cities and
mountainous wonders are a sight to be seen. Tip: Try the local Dal Bhat!
New Zealand
Why does New Zealand make the cut? Backpacker buses make for an
affordable yet flexible means of travel throughout the country, and a great way
to meet other travellers. The country's landscape is so diverse that your
entire New Zealand journey will be made of vastly different snapshots and
experiences: Volcanic Lakes, Hiking through Mountains, Learning to surf in
Raglan, White Water Rafting down the world's highest commercially rafted
waterfall, Hobbiton, Bungy Jumping, Skydiving, Hanggliding -
the list goes on!
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is small and diverse, which means you don't have to travel too
far to experience all that the country has on offer. Rainforest, rocky
coastlines, surf beaches, mountains and Caribbean islands... what more could
you ask for? The historic capital city of San Juan is home to World Heritage
Listed 16th century Forts, El Morro being the most popular, and has catered for
backpackers in the form of cheap hostels, food and a bustling party scene. To
save your dollars and chillax, we recommend a trip to the popular island of
Rincon off the Puerto Rico's west coast. The island boasts world class surf,
tropical rainforest, scuba diving, snorkeling, whale watching and beach front
bars.
How about that huh? So what are you waiting for? Let us travel now.
