Dreaming of adventure? Look no further!

China is one of those places that can feel impossible to sum up. One minute you’re standing in front of a 2,000-year-old army of terracotta warriors, the next you’re riding a high-speed train through the country or wandering neon-lit streets in a city that feels like it belongs in the future.

But what is China actually like to travel?

Planning your first trip to China? You're in for a seriously good adventure, but it's worth knowing a few things before you go.

China is massive, and you could spend months exploring it without seeing everything. So if you're heading there for the first time, where do you even start?

Croatia’s a lot more than that dreamy destination you see on countless travel blogs – this place is downright delicious! Food enthusiasts are buzzing about local pop-up festivals that showcase artisanal olive oil, fresh oysters, and (of course) homemade rakija. If you’re planning on island-hopping along the Dalmatian coast or strolling through the narrow alleys of Dubrovnik, you’ll quickly realise that exploring Croatia’s culinary scene is one of the best ways to soak up the culture.

Here are 12 must-try scrumptious dishes that’ll fuel your wanderlust and treat your taste buds all at once.

If you’ve been wanting to experience a festival that’s both a heartfelt tribute and a vibrant party, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) might be right up your alley. Officially marked on November 1st and 2nd – though folks often start prepping in late October – this cherished event merges ancient Aztec rituals with Catholic influences introduced by the Spanish. The result is a burst of colour, music, and joy that honours loved ones who’ve passed on, and reminds us how precious life truly is.
