Chong Sum Yee, known to everyone as Angie, was 22 years old when she left home on a solo trip from Malaysia to Thailand on May 29, 2023.

Mariska Mast was 23 years old when she left the Netherlands on a backpacking adventure through Central America. Her journey led her to the picturesque island of Roatan, Honduras, where she decided to pursue a PADI Scuba Diving course.
It was there that she crossed paths with a scuba instructor, with whom she spent the night before her scheduled departure for Costa Rica.
Tragically, the following morning, she was dead. The circumstances surrounding her death remain shrouded in mystery, compounded by botched autopsies.
Without sufficient evidence, the question of whether Mariskka met her end through foul play or a tragic accident remains unanswered.
Adding to intrigue, the scuba instructor she spent the night with hastily left the island, while his female roommate faced accusations of Mariska's murder, only to be later acquitted.

Carla Valpeoz was 35 years old when she left Michigan with a friend
to attend a wedding, celebrate her birthday, and explore Peru.
Following the wedding, and wanting to do some solo exploring, Carla ventured alone
to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
But tragically, the last known sighting of Carla was captured by surveillance cameras in the village of Pisac on the morning of December 12th, 2018, a she made her way toward the Sacred Valley.
This journey held profound significance for Carla, because she had been slowly losing her sight since childhood and already had very low vision. She was determined to see the wonders of the world before darkness took over.
What transpired thereafter remains a mystery. Did Carla's visual impairment render her vulnerable to foul play? Or did an unfortunate accident befall her?
Listen as we dive into Peru, the case of Carla Valpeoz, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Elliot Blair, 33, and his wife Kim from Orange County, California, traveled to Rosarito, Mexico, to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary.
On the evening of January 13, 2023, after enjoying dinner, drinks, and dancing, the couple returned to their resort. While Kim went to sleep, Elliot took a shower before bed.
Shortly afterward, hotel staff woke Kim to inform her that Elliot had died.
Mexican authorities concluded that Elliot had been intoxicated and accidentally fell over the railing of the open-air walkway. However, with a blood alcohol level of 0.1, a fall of only 20-25 feet, and 40 fractures to the back of his skull, his family thinks he was murdered.

In October 2009, Michael Dixon embarked on a week-long visit to New York City to catch up with friends before continuing his journey to Costa Rica. However, shortly after arriving in Costa Rica, the 33-year-old British journalist disappeared under mysterious circumstances, vanishing one night after leaving his hotel.
The investigation into Dixon's disappearance has yielded scarce evidence, leaving his family to suspect foul play while Costa Rican authorities have suggested the possibility of an accident.

In January 2015, Nara Pech marked his recent college graduation by embarking on a three-week journey through Southeast Asia with two close friends. However, only a week into the trip, upon reaching Laos, the 28-year-old wanted to cut his vacation short. His friends, assuming he boarded a plane back to Canada, left him at the airport.
Tragically, this decision marked the final time anyone laid eyes on Nara alive. His demise unfolded in a harrowing manner within the bustling confines of the airport restaurant, yet no witnesses surfaced, nor did any bystanders capture the incident on video. Additionally, Laotian authorities will not release the full surveillance footage.
Airport officials hastily concluded that Nara took his own life, yet the available evidence contradicts this assertion. The circumstances surrounding Nara Pech's demise in the Laos airport remain shrouded in mystery, prompting speculation and questions about what truly transpired.
Listen as we dive into Southeast Asia, the case of Nara Pech, and how to stay alive on vacation.

Ildar Rakhmatulin, 38, was nearing the end of his global journey as he reached Fiji from New Zealand on April 7th, 2023.
Scheduled to fly to Malaysia on April 10th, his plans took an unexpected turn. On April 9th, he departed from his hotel, carrying only his backpack and suitcase, inadvertently leaving his phone and keys behind. His departure from the hotel was the last known sighting of him, as he vanished without a trace.
Despite efforts to locate him, the mystery surrounding his disappearance remains unsolved. The lack of clues has left many questions unanswered: Did he intentionally disappear?
