May: a month of possibility! Should you bask in a meadow of spring flowers in the Northern Hemisphere? Or admire the final tones of fall in the Southern?
It’s the last hurrah of mildish global temperatures, plus a time of transition from the rainy to the dry season (or vice versa). So it’s a fantastic time to explore certain parts of the world before the busy season takes effect. Here is where we would go:

Singapore might be an expensive little island in Southeast Asia, but we have the budget trip figured out. You could easily spend three days here enjoying gardens, beaches, skyline views, concerts, and even the treetops!

May is also a sunny and drier time, as the monsoon season will have passed — but thunderstorms are still somewhat probable, so bring a rain jacket or an umbrella.

Malaysia’s diverse geography makes it a fun place to experience the outdoors: you can hike mountains, go diving and white water rafting, explore islands, relax on beaches, visit cities, trek through the highlands, explore a rainforest, spot orangutans, and camp on remote islands. These activities require good weather, and May (mostly) delivers! Because the sea breeze tends to be calmer, underwater visibility for diving is also improved!

3. Nusa Islands, Bali
Take a trip back in time to Bali about 30 years ago — that’s what you’ll find at the Nusa Islands. Expect to hop on a boat ride out to the islands to go snorkeling, enjoy the beaches, hike a few mountains, check out waterfalls…
