Kodiak Island's primary city, Kodiak is among seven communities on the island. All transportation, whether by ferryboat or aircraft, goes through here.
Playa del Carmen, located along Mexico’s Riviera Maya, offers more than just soft beaches and turquoise waters. Once a quiet fishing village, the town has grown into a lively hub where Mayan history meets a modern beachside lifestyle. Visitors walking along Quinta Avenida will find artisan shops, street performers, and cafes offering everything from espresso to tacos al pastor. This area becomes especially active in the evenings when live music spills out from local venues.
Telavi is the administrative center of Georgia’s Kakheti region, located between the Gombori mountain range and the Alazani Valley. The town is known for its connection to winemaking, traditional balconies, and views toward the snow-covered Caucasus Mountains.
Set high in the Khumbu Valley, Pheriche offers a quiet yet striking stop along the route toward Mount Everest. Surrounded by wide landscapes and rugged peaks, this small settlement sits in a windswept valley where the air is crisp and the views stretch for miles. Unlike busier stops along the trail, Pheriche gives travelers space to pause, adjust to the altitude, and take in the scale of the Himalayas without distraction.
Kerak is a fortress town 75 miles (120km) from Amman, and contains one of the two major Crusader castles in the Kingdom. The castle, built to protect the approach to Jerusalem, stands on a craggy plateau 4,300ft above sea level. It was built in the early part of the 12th century and held for 50 years by the Crusaders until they were defeated by Salah al Din (Saladin) in 1189.
