Thirty seconds. That's all the time it took for me to come eye to beady eye with my first Galápagoan critter after stepping onto the tarmac of the Galápagos Seymour Ecological Airport.

Scoring a table at soup dumpling institution Din Tai Fung anywhere in the world comes with hurdles.

The Anantara Mai Khao Phuket is also on the list of places where White Lotus was filmed—it’s the location of Belinda’s (Natasha Rothwell) Wellness Centre. Now, there’s another place to add to the list if you’re looking to make a White Lotus–themed itinerary with impeccable stays.

Four years ago, my husband and I (and our dog) packed up our lives and moved from Los Angeles to Lisbon. While we have zero regrets, I still tell people who are curious about moving abroad that there are a lot of factors to consider, such as how far you'll be from family, how comfortable you'll be settling into a second culture, and if you plan to stay for a little while or forever. If you do want to stay for the long haul, then there's one more thing to think about: health care. And according to a new ranking from International Living, I've picked the perfect spot to immigrate to.
