It is quite ironic that one of the lasting impacts of a global pandemic, in which freedom of movement was
largely restricted on a global basis, has been the ease in which we are now able to unshackle ourselves from
our desks and go about our day-to-day lives no matter where we are in the world. The improved ability
and tolerance for remote working and online studies means it is now easier than ever before to explore the
world whilst still maintaining our work or study commitments. That being said, after a couple of years of
being cooped up indoors, now might be the perfect time to just get away from it all.
Whatever your reason for travelling, this edition is packed with plenty of budget-busting, once-in-a-lifetime
experiences that will give you plenty of inspiration for your next trip. If you’re the kind of traveller that
wants to fit in as many destinations as possible during your travels, you will want to check out our action-
packed itineraries for short stays in Bucharest, Bali, and Lima. For a slower-paced itinerary that allows you to
soak in the culture, we also have extended stays in Bangkok, USA, and Canada.
Our team of travel experts also share their top tips to help you plan and prepare, ranging from specialised
excursions such as backpacking in Africa to general good practice when staying in hostels. With our iGap
Awards, this edition also celebrates the best accommodation, transport, and tour providers around the
world who can help make your journey more memorable for all the right reasons.
