11 trips to take post-graduation

Check out this space in summer to enjoy a variety of festivals, offering performances in everything from jazz to comedy. The city is full of trendy cafes, bars, clubs, restaurants and boutiques, so it’d be very difficult for you and your friends to run out of fun things to do.

Considering backpacking through this country? It’s doable. While there, venture around the North and South Islands of New Zealand to see Mother Nature in all her glory. Oh, and Queenstown is a must-visit.

Trekking Cuba will allow you to see historic relics dating to the Spanish colonial era, as well as legendary cigar factories and tobacco fields. You can relax on the white-sand beaches after sightseeing.

This exotic location of rice fields, jungles and monkey forests is majestic and not hard on your wallet. Take in the scenery and Zen-like experiences during the day and partake of the cuisine and beach club scene (rivaling Ibiza) at night.

You can see volcanoes and a lava field here. You can also see hot springs and geysers and literally chase waterfalls.

The line between day and night may blur a bit (in the summer the sun only sets for a little bit each night around midnight), but when in Iceland ... right?

If this is your first time there, the weed cafes, Red Light District and various nighttime performances are all options. But don’t forget the city’s more than 60 miles worth of canals or the history that resides within, like the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House. Activities are available day and night.
