Oceania

A combination of spellbinding natural wonders, big city comforts, perfect weather and a laid-back approach to life make Australia one of the most appealing destinations for any traveller. Its youthful, energetic and cosmopolitan cities, from Sydney and Melbourne to more far-flung Perth and Darwin, offer tons of entertainment, nightlife and cultural activities, while the indescribable magnetism of the Outback, Blue Mountains, Great Barrier Reef and endless beaches epitomise the beauty of this expansive country and the diverse habitats of its unique wildlife. As one of the world’s most exciting epicurean destinations (not to mention, leading wine producers), it is a country to eat your way through.

The birthplace of the bungee jump is no stranger to pushing the envelope when it comes to adventure, even going so far as to be dubbed the “world capital of adventure”. But New Zealand is a country that everyone can enjoy at their own pace, where adrenaline-junkies can push their heart rates to the limit, where those who prefer a more leisurely experience can find tranquillity in the country’s breath-taking natural surroundings, and where urbanites can indulge in the sophisticated dining, lively pub culture and thriving art scenes of some of the world’s most pleasant cities, like Auckland and Queenstown.
