Costa Rica is a barrel of monkeys for decade birthdays

Mexico makes for a memorable graduation present

Some of you may be so excited to say ‘hasta leugo!’ to essay papers that you’re on a plane to sunny Mexico before your diploma hits the doorstep. But this vibrant country is so much more than tacos and tequila! (Let’s be real, though, both are tastier here.) You can further a lifelong education by seeing Mayan and Aztec ruins like Chichén Itzá in real life, sampling out-of-this-world mole sauce in Oaxaca and wandering colonial cities. No more papers, no more books… just a life-changing way to celebrate your achievements.

Greece sails you into romantic sunsets for anniversaries

Whether you’ve been together for five years or fifty, your relationship is worth toasting with a shot of ouzo, Mediterranean seas and a glorious sunset in Oia. Keep the magic alive with a sailing tour that shows you the wonders of ancient Greece with stops on small romantic islands like Ios, Naxos and Paros. Chat about nothing much at seaside tavernas and snorkel in hidden coves — it’s all yours to enjoy as a couple.

You put the hours, creativity and smarts into your job and it finally paid off — that is worth acknowledging in a big way! Before you dig in, mark the occasion with a trip to a country known for quality, care and beautiful thought put into work and artistic pursuits. Filling your eyes with cherry blossoms and your belly with the tastiest sushi, may be just the inspiration you need to reach all new heights. Kan pai!
