Guam
Guam, a vibrant island territory in the Western Pacific, offers travelers more than just sandy beaches and turquoise water. As the largest island in Micronesia, Guam has a dynamic past that’s shaped its present. Evidence of ancient Chamorro settlements can be found at sites like Latte Stone Park, where limestone pillars dating back over a thousand years stand tall.
Vézelay
Perched high above Burgundy’s vineyards and fields, Vézelay is defined by its winding stone streets and the great Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, a centuries-old destination for Christian pilgrims. Its Romanesque architecture, far-reaching countryside views, and enduring connection to the pilgrimage routes toward Santiago de Compostela give this small hilltop village an unusually rich sense of place.
Baracoa
Baracoa is a historic coastal city in eastern Cuba, set between the Caribbean Sea and the forested mountains of the Cuchillas del Toa region. Often described as Cuba’s first Spanish-founded villa, it occupies a sheltered bay beneath the distinctive flat-topped El Yunque mountain, which has become a symbol of the city.
Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya sits high in Sri Lanka’s central highlands, above the plains at nearly 1,900 meters, with a climate that remains refreshingly mild year-round, which is a sharp contrast to the tropical warmth found elsewhere on the island. For those looking to explore the outdoors, Lake Gregory has long been a place for boating, walking, and watching the mist drift across the water at dawn.
Point Reyes
Point Reyes is a rugged coastal region of Northern California, extending into the Pacific Ocean on the western side of Marin County. Much of the peninsula is protected within Point Reyes National Seashore, where windswept beaches, coastal cliffs, grasslands, forests, wetlands, and rocky headlands create a varied landscape.
