Travel experience | A Taste of Turkey 🇹🇷

"This trip was perfect for anyone who loves Turkish cuisine and culture, and for those who, like me, are short on time but still want to experience as much of Turkey as possible in just 10 days 🙌

It was an eye-opener to witness Istanbul's vibrant way of life. With 18 million people calling this city home, it’s alive with energy and history, which spans the rise and fall of the Turks, Christians, and Ottomans. The country is absolutely fascinating, and I found the people to be incredibly proud of their heritage, yet warm and welcoming to visitors.

Some of the top highlights for me included visiting the stunning Basilica Cistern—it’s absolutely a must-see. The walking tour of Ephesus was another favourite, allowing me to step back in time and immerse myself in ancient history 🥾

But the pièce de résistance had to be Cappadocia’s surreal, lunar landscape. Seeing it all from a hot air balloon at sunrise, alongside over a hundred other balloons, was simply breath-taking."

- Caroline, on her 9-day Istanbul to Cappadocia trip. Have you visited Turkey? 💭

Happy Halloween, Explorers! 🎃

If you’re partial to ghost tours, spooky houses, or tales of the unexpected, we’ve got it covered - here's our top haunting destinations around the world:

1. Lima, Peru

La Casa Matusita, near Lima’s Museum of Art, is said to be cursed by a Persian woman accused of witchcraft during the Spanish Inquisition, fuelling a history of violent events 🏠

2. Benin

To this day, Voodoo remains Benin's national religion. Each year on the 10 January, the Voodoo Festival is celebrated, where spectators and practitioners gather to honour its traditions 🔮

3. New Orleans, United States

New Orleans, considered one of the most haunted cities in the United States, is home to Madame LaLaurie’s murder mansion, voodoo museums, and the infamous Caesars Superdome — built atop a cemetery 👻

4. Tokyo, Japan

Asakusa in Tokyo served as a base for the Kozukappara Ex*****on Grounds, where human remains from over 200,000 Edo period executions continue to be uncovered 😱

The countdown to El Día de los Mu***os ( ) begins 💀🎶🌼🪁

Often confused with Halloween, the Day of the Dead is an important celebration of life and death, deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Mexico. This vibrant festival bridges life and death, honouring the ones we've lost with feasts, parades, and marigolds illuminating their path from our world to the Land of the Dead.

Is Dia de los Mu***os on your bucket list? You can experience Día de los Mu***os in all its vibrant authenticity on the festival departures of our Contrasts of Mexico trip. Link below for details ✨

Trip experience | Highlights of Morocco 🇲🇦

"This is a whistle stop tour of a destination I've wanted to visit for so long and there were SO many highlights 🙌

We visited the amazing medina in Fes (including the tannery featured on last year’s Race Across the World), walked in TodraGorge, visited Ait Ben Haddou (where parts of Gladiator were filmed), camped overnight in Chebbi dunes, rode camels, visited a family gite for a wonderful lunch and ate more tajine than I thought was possible!

Arriving in the desert in a lightening storm was an unforgettable moment, and waking the next morning after a night at our wonderful desert camp to see the sun rising over the orange dunes is something I'll never forget 😍

Wherever we went our hosts were warm, welcoming and proud to show us everything that makes Morocco so special."

- Explorer Lisa on her recent 9-day trip to Morocco.
