TIME — Colombia's creative capital Today, nearly 30 years after Pablo Escobar's death, visitors to Colombia's second largest city enjoy trendy cafés and vibrant nightlife in upscale neighborhoods El Poblado and Laureles. They take in street art, break dancing, and freestyle rap in district Comuna 13, the former epicenter of violent gang warfare.

TIME — Turquoise waterfalls, Buddhist temples, and sunset boat trips on the Mekong are just a few of Luang Prabang's highlights. Despite its remote location in the jungled mountains of Laos, the former royal capital is not just for backpackers.

The Independent — Crescent-shaped and tapering like an ocean-flanked chilli pepper, Mexico has pure, tropical beaches fringing each coast, creative, colourful cities, unforgettable festivals and Mayan ruins worth the detour

The Australian — It’s hard to imagine dipping a toe into the Thames or the Seine, yet plenty of people do in this European waterway.

The Australian — I set out from Baddeck at daybreak and it isn’t long before I am greeted with a vista over the sea. Hewn into the hillside, the road winds north along the eastern coast of Cape Breton Island. A crush of dark fir and rock flanks my left; the Atlantic Ocean stretches out to my right, lustrous copper at sunrise.

The Australian — Take a feast down memory lane at Taipei’s famous Raohe Night Market. Thirty years ago, if you told my mother that one day I would be skipping towards Taipei’s Raohe Night Market, she wouldn’t have believed you. Yet here I am, giddy about the feast to come. My parents left Taiwan before I was born, so as a first-generation member of the diaspora, battle lines were drawn on the kitchen table. I moaned when dinner was rice not spaghetti. I refused anything “weird”, which was often what my mother had just spent hours cooking. Dried shrimp and gelatinous century eggs sent me fleeing.

CNN International — Diverse. Unique. Memorable. These words reflect the people of Vietnam but they can also describe the country’s countless beaches. Long and narrow, Vietnam boasts 2,140 miles of coastline – and that doesn’t include its many islands.

CNN International — Chances are that once you've flopped into the hammock on Phu Quoc Island, you'll have forgotten you're in Vietnam. The country of 96 million people is more famous for metropolises and motorbikes than tropical idylls. However, Vietnam's largest island boasts incredible beaches including the aptly named Long Beach.

The Australian — It’s true, bears do love honey. And marmalade and Vegemite. I have been tasked with creating “snack tubes” of hollow bamboo filled with a party mix of sun bear favourites such as green beans and protein-rich dog biscuits, plus a smear of honey as an amuse-bouche. The keeper hoots when he notices how heavy-handed I am with the honey and tells me to go easy. Even bears need to watch their waistlines.

The Australian — Break with convention in the Swiss city where public transportation is religion and unplanned travel is a sin.

The Australian — Get a taste for the West Indies on a new ocean yacht - Twelve years of studying French at school has prepared me for this moment, eavesdropping on locals in a beachfront cafe. As I gaze at the dazzling water lapping Martinique’s volcanic black sand, two dapper gents cradle their Sunday beers and wonder aloud about the sleek white vessel anchored offshore. It’s too small to be a cruise ship, and those usually dock at the capital, Fort de France. What’s it doing in sleepy Saint-Pierre and who is aboard? Well, I am, for a start, and here’s my cue to share what I know.
