Quetzaltenango, often called Xela by locals, is Guatemala’s second-largest city and a hub of indigenous culture, colonial history, and highland landscapes. Surrounded by volcanoes, including the towering Santa María, the city sits at over 7,600 feet above sea level, giving it a crisp mountain climate that contrasts with the country’s tropical lowlands.
Taghazout is a small coastal village on Morocco’s Atlantic shore, once a quiet fishing settlement that has grown into a global surf destination without fully shedding its roots. Life here still follows the rhythms of the sea, with boats pulled onto the sand and daily routines shaped by tides and weather. Berber culture underpins the village’s identity, visible in local customs, food, and the understated pace that sets Taghazout apart from Morocco’s larger resort towns.
This fishing port in southwestern England's county of Cornwall rests along the sheltered Mount's Bay and is blessed with a mild climate year-round, as evidenced by the subtropical plants in Morrab gardens. Near Penzance is the town of St.Ives, a quaint place with a reputation as an artist's colony.

This is a wild and beautiful area unlike anywhere else in the world. Torres del Paine lies between the central spine of the Andes, nearly buried under a massive ice cap and the steppes of Southern Patagonia.
