🏮 IF YOU WANT ISLAND LIFE IN A JAPANESE FONT, Okinawa is where you’ll find it!

Trade neon lights and bullet trains for blue waters, slow afternoons and a pace of life that almost feels rebellious to the mainland. 😌

But as it always goes with archipelagos, finding where to stay in Okinawa can be a TOUGHIE.

IN THIS GUIDE we give you the 411 on what to expect from each so you can decide whether to keep things accessible or branch out off the beaten path!

🏝️ KOH LANTA BEACHES THAT MATCH YOUR VIBE…

“I’ll admit I’m biased. I’ve spent most of the last year living on Lanta, and in that time I’ve visited every beach on the island, many of them more times than I can count. Some are perfect for quick swims, some for fiery sunsets, some for snorkelling and others for families.” ~Dani

So when in Thailand, grab your sunscreen, a few bottles of Singha🍺, & make your way to one of these beaches! ☀️

🧐 READ THE LIST AND WEIGH IN… AGREE OR DISAGREE?
Which ones would you add to the list?

At The Broke Backpacker, we’ve ended up at some of the most unexpected, worst countries to visit. They left us empty, hoodwinked, and perplexed.

It’s not because they’re necessarily “bad” or dangerous countries, it’s just that they don’t always match the postcard-perfect image we’ve been sold. 🤷‍♂️

🇮🇹 YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO LA DOLCE VITA!

Italy is easily one of the most beautiful countries in the world and a MUST for all backpackers to explore at least once in their lives. 🤌

Italy doesn't need a movie to sell it. Pizza, Pasta, and Pistachio gelato do the talking. 🍕🍝🍦
