1.) Burning Man
Ok, we are a little biased about Burning Man since we've grown up close to this amazing festival. We think it's one of the best places in the world. A place where anything goes, self expression is encourage and money is not allowed. In the middle of the desert, this is a place where art and music are the main focus. It's the type of event where you come not knowing what to expect and leave a different person. Burning man is something everyone should experience once in their lifetime.
2.) Full Moon Party
Backpacking through South East Asia is the perfect trip for anyone looking to have an amazing time. Days are spent relaxing on pristine beaches and nights are spent dancing barefoot with new friends with your toes in the sand. Once a month a tiny island of Koh Phangan in Thailand hosts their famous full moon party. It's guaranteed to be a night you will always remember. Imagine dancing, swimming, and drinking buckets under a full moon with the sound of jungle bass music in your ears.
3.) Hostel hopping in Europe
You're guaranteed to have a wild night or two when backpacking through Europe! Hostels are perfect for budget travelers and are a great place to meet other travelers from all over the world.

4.) British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands are home to some of the most famous beach bars in the world. Ever heard of Foxy's or Soggy Dollar?

5.) Oktoberfest
Large beers, bratwurst, and lederhosen. If you want to experience one of the largest parties in Europe, hit Oktoberfest.
