It’s no easy task to improve on a Jane Austen work, but Joe Wright’s 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice came quite close in that moment when Charlotte defends her questionable choice to marry Mr. Collins in front of her judgmental friend Lizzy Bennet with a “Hush! Not all of us can afford to be romantic.”
It’s hard to let romance sweep you away when you’re counting every euro, and often the size of the wallet doesn’t match the size of our love.

Siem Reap, Cambodia
When it comes to global cultural icons, Siem Reap often tops every list, thanks to the beauty of Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But after visiting what is unquestionably the most famous archaeological site in Southeast Asia, you’ll still have plenty to do for the rest of your honeymoon. Beyond the ruins there’s a postcard-worthy city, full of riverfront cafés, exciting bars, culturally meaningful experiences, and streets styled with colonial French flair that you’ll never tire of strolling. And not to mention the pleasures of its culinary scene, including several restaurants on Asia’s 50 Best list. Moreover, with the October 2023 opening of Siem Reap–Angkor International Airport (SAI) and the rapid electronic arrival system launched in fall 2024, the temple city has never been more accessible.
