With 2019 upon us, and a whole year’s worth of epic adventures to start planning, it’s time to get cracking on your itinerary! That’s why in the 59^th issue of get lost Magazine, we’ve searched high and low to find 2019’s best trips, latest openings, coolest trends and hottest destinations that you definitely don’t want to miss out on. So whether it’s dining in an ice cave in Canada, exploring Mexico’s answer to the Maldives, camping on the salt flats of Bolivia or attending a once-in-a-generation wine festival in Switzerland, consider this your guide to everything you need to see, do and explore this year. It’s not all New Year travel resolutions in this issue though, we also jump on the Aranui 5, a half cruise half cargo ship, in a bid to reach the far-flung Marquesas Islands, come face-to-tail with a leatherback turtle in the east coast of Costa Rica, stand-up paddle board through Norway in search of the midnight sun and get a whole new perspective of New York City. Plus, we share stories from Spain, Taiwan, Myanmar, Toronto and Australia’s Kakadu National Park.

Trying to decide whether the golden sands and crystal clear waters of Southeast Asia are calling your name? Or if it’s the remote islands and friendly locals of the South Pacific that are begging you to visit? Well, you’re in luck. In this issue of get lost we’ve put Southeast Asia and the South Pacific to the test in an attempt to discover which region reigns supreme. From adrenaline-pumping canyoning experiences, no-expense-spared private resorts to pumping party boats, both Southeast Asia and the South Pacific tick a lot of boxes, but the winner depends on you. We also journey deep into the heart of the Amazon, scale the Grand Canyon, carb-load in Rome, dance in the Jordanian desert and power through Mexico in 12 days. Plus, we share stories from Kenya, Taipei, Reykjavik and Australia’s Kimberley region.

Arid savannahs and pristine lagoons? Of course. Safaris, sundowners and a front-row view of the local wildlife ? For sure. Partying until sun up in deserts and city skylines? You bet. You see, we know about that Africa trip you’ve been dreaming of (yep, even your fantasies about holding a lion cub above your head and singing Hakuna Matata). And to aid your planning, we’ve uncovered the coolest of the cool that this epic continent has to offer. Your adventure starts here. We also explore the vibrant streets of New York City’s Lower East Side after dark, discover a new kind of zen in Malaysia, explore the backcountry of New Zealand, and cross over into a paradise above and below the surface on Australia’s Lord Howe Island.

Explore it inch by inch in issue 54, hiking, biking and glamping across its unblemished, jungle-like slopes before springing into another wild archipelago on the opposite corner of the globe: the Faroes. These wild isles, where nature and folklore collide, appear to have jumped straight from the pages of a storybook, as do the bewitching backstreets of Marrakech and Spain’s surreal (and little explored) desert landscapes.
