Olden
Nestled along the stunning Sognefjord in Norway, the charming town of Olden offers a gateway to some of Scandinavia’s most breathtaking landscapes. This picturesque settlement is renowned for its proximity to the Jostedalsbreen Glacier, the largest glacier in mainland Europe.
Dingboche
Set in a wide valley beneath towering Himalayan peaks, Dingboche offers a striking pause along the route toward Mount Everest. Unlike the narrower trails below, Dingboche opens into a broad landscape framed by snow-covered giants such as Ama Dablam and Lhotse. The village sits high above the tree line, where the air feels thin and clear, and the surrounding terrain shifts from forested slopes to open alpine ground.
Brasília
Brasília may be a World Heritage Site, but it is only of interest to town planning and architecture students, and those keen to witness the folly of man on a metropolitan scale. It must have looked good on paper, and still looks good in photos, but in the flesh, forget it. Designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, urban planner Lucio Costa, and landscape architect Burle Marx, the city was built in an incredible three years between 1957 and 1960.
St. Kitts
St. Kitts, part of the twin-island federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, is known for its volcanic landscape, coastal plains, and long stretches of shoreline. The island’s layout is shaped by its central peaks, including Mount Liamuiga, which rises above surrounding farmland and villages. Basseterre, the capital, serves as the main hub for commerce and government, with a harbor that regularly receives cruise ships.
Utila
The smallest of the Bay Islands, this is a diver's paradise. Quaint town of East Harbor offers a variety of restaurants and bars. Go hiking and explore this charming island.
