Multi-country trips

Itineraries we'd actually do

Each itinerary pairs two or three countries that work together — geographically, logistically, and tonally. Day-by-day routes, with the eSIM and VPN combo we'd take.

Iberian Loop

14 days · 2 countries

Iberian Loop

Madrid → Seville → Lisbon → Porto

Spain and Portugal share a peninsula but feel like different planets — and that's exactly the point. High-speed rail, a single short flight, and you've covered four world-class cities, two coastlines and arguably the best eating in Europe. A trip that flatters first-timers and rewards repeat visitors.

Mediterranean Classics

21 days · 3 countries

Mediterranean Classics

Rome → Athens → Greek islands → Istanbul

The classic European cultural circuit, sequenced so the food and the history build instead of compete. Rome warms you up, Athens sharpens you, the islands soften you, and Istanbul finishes the meal. Three weeks is the minimum — four would be better.

Southeast Asia Backpacker

30 days · 3 countries

Southeast Asia Backpacker

Bangkok → Hanoi → Saigon → Bali

Cheap, hot, photogenic, life-changing. A month is enough to do each country justice without burning out, and the budget airline links between them are some of the cheapest international flights in the world.

Golden Triangle Asia

16 days · 2 countries

Golden Triangle Asia

Tokyo → Kyoto → Osaka → Seoul → Busan

Japan and Korea are easy to do badly — too many cities, too much shinkansen, no time to absorb. This pacing keeps you in each base long enough to break the surface. Plan around cherry blossoms (late March to mid-April) or autumn leaves (mid-November).

Andean Adventure

21 days · 2 countries

Andean Adventure

Lima → Cusco → Machu Picchu → Bogotá → Cartagena

Two of South America's most rewarding countries, sequenced so you acclimatise to altitude before you need it and end on a Caribbean breeze. Lima alone justifies the flight; Machu Picchu and Cartagena seal it.

East Africa Safari

18 days · 2 countries

East Africa Safari

Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Cape Town → Kruger

Time it for the Great Migration (July–October) and the Mara becomes one of the wildlife events of your life. Cape Town in the middle resets the trip with city food and wine; Kruger finishes you on the Big Five.

ANZ Grand Tour

28 days · 2 countries

ANZ Grand Tour

Sydney → Cairns → Uluru → Auckland → Queenstown

You'll fly a lot. You'll cover 10,000+ km on the ground. And you'll come home with the strongest camera roll of your life. Internal flights are essential — don't try to do this trip by car.

Himalayan Pilgrimage

24 days · 2 countries

Himalayan Pilgrimage

Delhi → Varanasi → Kathmandu → Annapurna

The trek is optional but transformative. Even without it, this is the most intense three weeks of cultural travel on the planet — Old Delhi food walks, dawn on the burning ghats, and Kathmandu's dust-and-incense backstreets.
