My Top 5 Destinations in 2025

Koh Samui, Thailand

Thailand has countless visit-worthy destinations, and Koh Samui was the one that fit my working life best – perfectly balancing island vibes with convenience (especially being able to get around easily without a scooter). The island offers plenty to do, from Thai boxing matches and capybara cafés to getting a bamboo tattoo or island-hopping in Ang Thong Marine Park.

Japan, Okinawa

What’s not to love about Okinawa? The people are super friendly, the culture is rich and unique, and the mix of exotic vibes with Japanese greatness is just perfect. And let’s not forget the amazing seafood – it’s seriously next-level delicious.

Bali, Indonesia

Bali’s a popular destination for good reason, though it’s starting to lose a bit of its charm due to tourists and greed. But depending on where you go, you can still have a magical trip with breathtaking nature, lovely people, and endless activities to enjoy.

Lanzarote, Spain

Lanzarote was the biggest surprise for me – I had no idea I’d enjoy a week on the island so much. It takes Spanish food to a whole new level and offers magical volcanic views, all while still letting you enjoy a classic beach vacation.

Tokyo, Japan

I’m usually not a city person, but Tokyo makes me think twice. There’s something to do – and eat – at every corner. It’s clean, safe, and incredibly easy to get around thanks to the top-notch public transport. Tokyo definitely knows how to win you over.
