Egge said: "Duangrit Bunnag, one of Thailand's most famous architects, transformed old warehouses into a library, a shop, a coffee bar, and two restaurants. One of them is 'The Never Ending Summer' where you can try Thai food with modern influences."

"Rotterdam is one of those cities you need to do a little bit of research before you go otherwise you'll end up in the main shopping streets and you miss the more hidden spots," Egge said. "Like Het Industriegebouw, a post-war building which now houses famous Dutch architect MVRDV and several restaurants and shops. Visit Groos if you want to shop for cool local design and art, and try By Jarmusch for all-day breakfast."

"Knokke is a posh sea side town in Belgium with a huge villa that's been transformed into a stunning bed and breakfast," Egge said. "The place to go if you love intimate bed and breakfasts with lots of design and art."

"Cape Town is the place to be this year because of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art that is set to open in September," Egge said. "If you want to escape The Waterfront go to Babylonstoren, a wine-estate with a few rooms, for a delicious lunch."

Award-winning food and travel blogger Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet told Business Insider: "The best islands are the undiscovered ones in between Coron and El Nido that you can only explore via an island hopping expedition. It's a back to basics, humbling encounter with nature."

"San Sebastian is known for its pintxos culture," Diaz said. "The best way to experience it is to go on a bar-hopping food trip with your foodie friends. It's also the town with the highest concentration of Michelin stars and home of a trio of three-star Michelin restaurants."

"Istanbul is where Europe meets Asia, and is teeming with culture and experience thanks to its rich Ottoman history," Diaz said. "It's unforgettable going on your first cruise in the Bosphorus or experiencing authentic Turkish bath or getting lost in the Grand Bazaar."

"I dream of going on an Ayurveda retreat for a holistic mind and body rejuvenation," Diaz said. "Sri Lanka is the home of the traditional art of Ayurveda and the ancient practice of Yoga."

"Oia is an artistic community in Santorini with the blue Aegean sea, mesmerising sunset, and cool Greek architecture as the backdrop," Diaz said. "It's a place to fall in love again and best experienced staying for a few days with your special someone."

Sam Katterfield, Editor at travel search platform HolidayPirates, told Business Insider:

"Henry Morgan used Providencia as a base for raiding the Spanish and it's rumoured some of his treasure is still buried on the island — making this the perfect holiday for a true pirate!"

"The vast white sand dunes of Lençóis (bedsheets in Portuguese) lend an otherworldly quality to the landscape of this part of the Brazilian northeast," Katterfield said. "Make sure to visit between July and September, when the lagoons are at their most full."

Niam Walsh, senior editor at HolidayPirates, said: "The island of Inis Mór is home to miles of hand-built stone walls, a prehistoric hill fort, and knitted woolly jumpers. Each year, the Red Bull Cliff Diving festival takes place at Serpent's Lair; a perfectly rectangular, naturally created pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean."

"The valley is best viewed on a lazy boat ride down the river, as you weave your way through the rice paddies and caves of the limestone mountains," Walsh said.

Pauline Beneat, Senior Communications Manager at HolidayPirates, said: "This town used to be the epicentre of the gold rush, but now barely has 1,000 inhabitants. In the evening, go watch an old-school "Cancan show" at Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall. If you're brave enough, head to the local saloon and order a Sourtoe cocktail — a notorious drink garnished with an amputated human toe!"

Michael Reay, Editor at HolidayPirates, said: "Tasmania's unspoilt wilderness, spectacular views, and incredible wildlife makes it a place that simply has to be on your bucket list. Keep your eyes peeled when driving as wombats and pademelons have a habit of wandering into the road at inopportune moments!"

"Just a couple of hours on the train from Prague lies the town of Kutna Hora, whose star attraction is the slightly macabre Sedlec Ossuary," Reay said. "This Roman Catholic chapel is decorated with the bones of upwards of 40,000 people — a rather grisly but strangely compelling sight."

Charlotte Niemann of food and travel Instagram account and blog Food In The Air told Business Insider: "If you love to ski, imagine having the option to ski down into four different countries (no passport required). The views from the top of the Matterhorn are breathtaking."

"Our parents went on their honeymoon here and we would love to visit one day," Niemann said. "A picturesque town filled with exquisite landscaped gardens, mountains, and more."

"This town is filled with beautiful beaches, vineyards, and horse country," Niemann said. "A quaint getaway with not a tourist in sight."

"Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is one of our absolute favourite places to experience amazing food, wine, and beaches in the South of France," Niemann said. "It doesn't get better than this."

"It's called the land of fire and ice for a reason," Niemann said. "Waterfalls, volcanoes, glaciers, and the Icelandic hospitality are our favourite things about this country."

John-Lee Saez, Travel Expert at holiday comparison site Kayak, said: "Take a chopper at the dead end of Haines valley, climb up to a few hundred or thousand meters, and suddenly you see an endless natural playground in front of your eyes. You pick your slope and its angle, you pick your summit, you make your own trail while feeling like an ant in the immensity of the landscape."

"One thing on my to-do list is definitely flying a MIG29 (military aircraft) at edge of space, going as high as 23km up and being able to see the curvature of the Earth," Saez said. "Only Russia offers the unique opportunity of flying a military aircraft that is still officially in use."
