In our second episode of The Travel Brats, we’re diving headfirst into sunshine, salty air, and all the island vibes you can handle. It’s a full-on travel showdown: Would You Rather: Beach & Island Life Edition! So grab your coconuts (or cocktails), because we’re hitting up Greece, Bali, the Maldives, Costa Rica, and beyond!
We’re all about island-hopping vibes — think Santorini sunsets, Mykonos parties, and quiet gems like Zakynthos and Milos. Want the best cruise recs? We gotchu:
🔗 Celebrity Cruises – Greek Island Routes
🔗 Celestyal Cruises – Authentic Greek Vibes
🔗 Windstar Cruises – Yacht-Style Romance
🔗 Seabourn – Ultra Luxe & Culture
But hey, Bali isn’t just chillin’ in the corner. It’s got major surf, stunning cliffside beaches, and killer snorkeling. If you’re chasing waves and epic sunsets, don’t miss:
🌊 Uluwatu Beach – Surf & Views
🌅 Seminyak – Trendy Vibes & Nightlife
🐠 Amed Beach – Shipwreck Snorkeling
Sof said: Hawaii. All the way.
Natalie: Team Thailand, baby!
What even is a Full Moon Party? Only the wildest all-night beach rave ever, hosted in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Think neon paint, fire dancers, insane DJ sets, and thousands of people from around the world.

📍 Where it Happens – Haad Rin Beach
Prefer something chill and soul-soothing? Picture this: Hawaiian beach bonfire, ukulele music, and stargazing with friends. Yeah, we’re down for that too.
