Portage Glacier
Portage Glacier, an hour's drive from Anchorage, is Alaska's most visited tourist attraction.
Providence
Providence, Rhode Island blends deep colonial roots with a strong creative pulse. Founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, the city became known for its dedication to religious freedom and independent thought. Walking along Benefit Street, visitors pass rows of 18th- and 19th-century homes, many of which are impeccably preserved and marked with historical plaques.

Maupiti
Maupiti is a small island in the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia, surrounded by a shallow lagoon and a barrier reef in the South Pacific. The main island is dominated by a steep central mountain ridge, while several low motu form a ring around the lagoon. Unlike larger neighboring islands, Maupiti has limited development and a predominantly rural character.
Mount Everest
Rising along the border of Nepal and Tibet, Mount Everest stands as the highest point on Earth, reaching over 29,000 feet into the sky. Known locally as Sagarmatha, meaning “Peak of Heaven,” and Chomolungma, meaning “Goddess Mother of the World,” the mountain carries deep spiritual meaning for the communities that live in its shadow. Its summit sits in air so thin that oxygen levels are only a fraction of what travelers experience at sea level.
Gili Air
Gili Air is the easternmost of the three Gili Islands, located just off the northwest coast of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara. The small island is surrounded by coral reefs and shallow tropical waters, with sandy beaches and coconut palms lining much of its coast. Gili Air has a resident community and a more relaxed settlement pattern than Gili Trawangan, while still offering guesthouses, restaurants, cafés, and dive centers.
