Pasadena
Pasadena is a city in Southern California set at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, about ten miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. It is known for its historic neighborhoods, Craftsman architecture, cultural institutions, and long association with the Tournament of Roses. Tree-lined streets and distinct districts give the city a character separate from the larger Los Angeles area.
Salt Spring Island
Salt Spring Island is the largest of British Columbia’s Southern Gulf Islands, situated between Vancouver Island and the mainland in the Salish Sea. The island is known for its forested hills, sheltered bays, small farms, and network of rural roads. Ganges serves as the main community and a centre for shops, galleries, cafés, and waterfront activity, while Fulford Harbour and Vesuvius provide additional ferry connections.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, tucked into the rugged badlands of western North Dakota is where a young Theodore Roosevelt came to recover after the loss of his wife and mother in the same day. He bought a ranch, rode the open plains, and found the resolve that would later define his presidency. Today, the park named in his honor preserves that same wild spirit. Visitors can still see Roosevelt’s original Maltese Cross Cabin near the park's entrance and walk trails he once rode on horseback.
Chiconi
Chiconi is a coastal commune on the western side of Grande-Terre, the main island of Mayotte. It faces the island’s broad lagoon and includes the neighboring village of Sohoa, with the coastline shaped by beaches, mangroves, and sheltered bays. Chiconi has a strong connection to fishing and maritime activity, while its location provides views across the lagoon toward nearby islands.
Albion
Albion, a small coastal town on the west coast of Mauritius, is known for its peaceful atmosphere and scenic setting by the Indian Ocean. Unlike some of the island’s more crowded resort areas, Albion offers a quieter escape while still showcasing the natural beauty that makes Mauritius a favorite destination.
