Belize

Belize is a small country on the coast of Central America which includes a number of small and popular islands for tourism. Belize is near one of the largest and most beautiful coral reefs known as the Great Barrier Reef, making it a popular destination for scuba divers. Belize is slowly becoming more touristy but still seems downright untouched in comparison to Cancun or Puerto Vallarta or other Mexican or Caribbean destinations. There are many Maya ruins in Belize that are also popular tourism destinations for those interested in history. If you’re looking for Caribbean style but you don’t want to deal with the touristy nature of many destinations check out Belize.

Malta

This tiny archipelago in the center of the Mediterranean south of Sicily has been an important location in the history of Europe, often a strategic location for many battles and empires. Famously, the Biblical apostle St. Paul was shipwrecked on the island and subsequently spread Christianity there. Fans of old-world architecture will find much to love in Malta where there are many Roman and Bysantine frescoes and other Romanesque buildings. If you visit Malta make sure to take in a traditional Maltese wedding and food to get the full effect of this wonderful little location. There are a number of holy and religious festivals throughout the year as well that can be very stimulating and interesting.
