Melaka (or Melacca, however you like to spell it) – the pint-sized powerhouse of Malaysian history. This charming city is like the cool vintage store of Southeast Asia, where every cobblestone street and centuries-old building has a story to tell. It's the place where Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences met for a cultural tea party, and the result is a delightful mishmash of architecture, cuisine, and history.

With its vibrant street art and a riverfront that could charm the grumpiest of travelers, Melaka is like that quirky friend who's always a blast to hang out with. You'll stumble upon temples that have been zen since before "zen" was a thing and museums that give you a crash course in Malaysia's fascinating past.

Looking for a swimming spot near a cathedral? No problem, just head to the Galician coast in Spain where you will find Playa de las Catedrales (Beach of the Cathedrals). It owes its name to the awe-inspiring natural arches and cliff formations, reminiscent of architectural elements of the ancient cathedrals. To avoid disappointment, book the visit in advance as the number of visitors is limited (even pre COVID).

A quiet town of Boquete in Panama is mostly known for hiking, coffee and as a place to retire for Americans. Once there, visiting a coffee plantation is a must and we went with Casa Ruiz. For the most discerning (and richest) customers Casa Ruiz redefines the expression “hand-picked”: they literally separate the best beans from the rest by hand.

Switzerland is beautiful. But this is Spain. Forget chugging sangria at a crowded bar in Barcelona and welcome to Picos de Europa National Park located between the provinces of Asturias, León and Cantabria. In the middle of it lie Lakes of Covadonga where you can find trails for serious hikers or, like us, spend a day exploring the breathtaking scenery and take a break from concrete jungle at home.

There should be no mystery where snakefruit, aka salak, gets its name. This Southeast Asian delicacy grows on certain palm trees and is literally a pain to harvest because of the prickly spikes. Luckily, you won’t have to do it yourself as they can be easily found in local markets. Under the scaly skin you’ll find crunchy pulp that tastes something in between of pineapple and jackfruit. And while we still prefer mangos, snakefruit is always on our shopping lists when travelling in Southeast Asia.
