Globetrotting Vol. 34: The Water Issue has arrived. 🌊✨
This volume of Globetrotting follows our spring Wildlife Issue, and once again we found ourselves writing love letters to the natural world.
In this issue, water is romanticized (Paris Is the Most Beautiful in the Rain, pg. 22), memorialized (Transformed by Water, pg. 44), and even worshipped (Vibrations of Varanasi, pg. 54). It creates an oasis in the desert (The Hammams of Morocco, pg. 56) and chases away the blues (On Grey New York Days, I Dream of Korčula, pg. 48). In our cover story (pg. 32) we study a shortlist of the world’s most incredible waterfalls.
So set sail with us in this Water Issue, as we promise not to go overboard with puns. Which article do you look forward to? 💦

Affordable travel for everyone! Which destination are you headed to? 🌏🏝
While many of the world’s finest beach destinations lean on the luxury side, these spots are within reach for travellers with moderate budgets.
1. Thailand 🇹🇭🏝
Once you get past the international flight, Thailand is shockingly affordable. It’s also a place where you can more easily upgrade to the kinds of luxury travel experiences that you might be priced out of elsewhere. It’s full of beaches across the south, from the famous sights of Phuket, Koh Samui, and Krabi to lesser-known Hua Hin, Koh Tao, and Koh Phangan.
2. Bali 🇮🇩✨
A beach vacation to Bali is more affordable than you think. Also, a great beach trip to Bali isn’t only about the beach. While the sands of Seminyak, Nusa Dua, and Jimbaran will lure you to the famous Indonesian island, you can easily pair several days at the beach with a jungle escape in the interior.
3. Cook Islands 🇨🇰🌊
Of the various South Pacific island nations, the Cooks Islands often unfairly gets short shrift. It shouldn’t, as it’s a beautiful destination with famously friendly people, white-sand beaches, year-round warm weather, and some great snorkelling opportunities.
4. Panama 🇵🇦🌺
Panama offers superb beaches. Head to Bocas del Toros to see the famous Red Frog Beach, hang out on the San Blas Islands to swim the famously clear waters, or hunker down at a resort on Playa Blanca for a week.
5. Egypt 🇪🇬🌴
Yes, Egypt! You might think of Egypt primarily as the place to explore the pyramids, but it’s also home to some beautiful beaches, namely Sharm el Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula. This area is flush with gorgeous sand as well as great value resorts, clear waters, and exceptional diving spots.

1. 🧘 Being in nature reduces stress. No schedules, no deadlines, no chores - just relaxing days filled with sun, sand, and sea. The sound of the waves lapping at the shore is soothing and calming. Close your eyes and listen to the peaceful sounds of the sea.
2. 🏖 Soaking your skin with sand helps exfoliate the body naturally, which is why some people take sand to use in their personal skin routine. So next time you’re in need of some extra skin care, take a trip to the beach! The ocean is also filled with anti-ageing ingredients that help in preserving skin elasticity. Saltwater therapy is a great idea because it can help keep the skin tight and supple.
3. 🏄 There is so much exploring to do! Try exciting beach activities like snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, surfing, or boating.
4. ☀️ Get those essential Vitamin D nutrients that your body needs. The salty sea air and ocean water also provides a therapeutic mineral replenishment for your body and soul.
5. 🌅 Free entertainment. There is no place like the beach for stargazing! Evenings are peaceful and quiet, without the harsh lights of a big city. Here, you can really see the stars and appreciate the vastness of the ocean and sky before you. And of course, a sunset at the beach is the perfect way to end the day.

7 things to know before travelling to New Zealand:
1. ☀️ In New Zealand, seasons are opposite (like Australia), with summer occurring from December to February.
2. 💵 The NZ dollar is the only accepted currency. Bank machines and Interac are widely accepted.
3. 🍽 Tipping is not expected, but gratefully accepted. There is no need to tip drivers, porters, tour guides etc. In a restaurant, you may consider rounding up your bill to the nearest $5 or $10.
4. 🥝 The term 'kiwi' in New Zealand can refer to either a New Zealander, or the country’s national bird.
5. ✅ All travellers should have adequate travel insurance.
6. ✈️ North American travellers do require a NZeta, an electronic visa/travel authority prior to travel.
7. ☕️ When ordering coffee, ‘cream’ or ‘half and half’ is not a thing in NZ. Milk only. Brewed coffee is not widely available outside of a hotel breakfast scenario. You will not find many restaurants with a coffee pot - you are normally ordering a cappuccino, flat white, latte etc.
