New Zealand is a special place where we spent 1 year working and travelling by van, based out of Queenstown.

Cambodia

We spent 2 weeks exploring Cambodia. We didn't give ourselves time to visit the islands but the cities, the history and Angkor Wat were fascinating.

Singapore
@gregoryallard
We did a 36 hour lay-over backpacker style which involved sleeping in the airport, sleeping in a cinema and eating a lot of food but it was worth it.
I can give good recommendations for 2/3 days in Singapore as part of another countries itinerary but I wouldn't expect to be paid for Singapore alone!
