If you're feeling a tad stuck and need some destination inspiration, let me tantalise you with some fresh and sexy suggestions...


BEST Backpacking Destinations for 2025 🌍

Some people prefer offbeat legends from the likes of Gilgit Baltistan or Uzbekistan. But there's nothing wrong with classics such as the north of Thailand and Japan.

The bottom line is that there are SO many great destinations to go backpacking :)

We've recently revisited one of our staple pieces on the blog and added some new suggestions from the team.

One of my main conclusions is that classics never die, they get reinvented at best. And there's a reason for it πŸ˜‰


Ever heard of Beni Mellal? πŸ‘€

It's one of Morocco's up-and-coming destinations. And you should definitely check it out if you want to stay ahead of the curve.
