Rome, Italy
All roads lead to Rome, which can also mean that all roads lead from it. So Rome is the perfect place to start your great Italian adventure. |
 |
Hawaii, US
Hawaii has active volcanoes, sun-soaked beaches, and endless summer days, but even if it were in the tundra, the aloha spirit would still make it the warmest place on earth. |
 |
Alaska, US
Equally inspiring by land, sea, or air, the vast beauty of Alaska is more extraordinary than you can imagine. Emphasis on vast. Further emphasis on extraordinary. |
 |
The Caribbean
It’s like a mighty god stood on the northern tip of Venezuela, and skipped a magic rock all the way to Puerto Rico, creating the islands that would become this glorious archipelago. Trust the hype and go. |
 |
Vietnam
Start in Hanoi and go South, or start in Saigon and go North, but in either direction, you’ll meet friendly people, eat rich cuisine, and marvel through bustling markets — some of them, floating. |
 |
North Island, New Zealand
After you visit the South Island, set your compass North, for warm surf, Maori culture, the Bay of Islands, and a geothermal bath. |
 |
Australia
A wide, brown land, Australia has the longest stretch of straight road, the longest piece of straight railway, and the longest continuous fence. Let this inspire you to surf their long beaches on a longboard for a very long time. |
 |
Costa Rica
A paradise for divers, a playground for volcanophiles, and home to some of the happiest and most long-lived people in the world, Costa Rica is a Central American jewel. |
 |
Argentina
The tango was born here, and after you stroll the elegant streets of Buenos Aires, or stumble along the Mendoza Wine Route (with an empty bottle of Malbec), you’ll be sad that you weren’t. |
 |
Mexico
Go for sunsets in Acapulco, go for culture in Chichen Itza, go for whales in Baja, go for crafts in Oaxaca, but please, don’t go for another shot of tequila. |
 |
Galapagos Islands
An eco-adventure for all ages, this unequaled chain of isolated islands may inspire you to evolve. Slowly. |
 |
South Africa
Before you were plugging your ears to the sound of the vuvuzela, you were listening to the roar of Victoria Falls, the din of animal chatter in the Tsitsikamma canopy, and the pounding of your own heartbeat as you propelled across the Zambezi Gorge. |
 |
Kenya
Nairobi is a great place to read “Out of Africa.” And a tented camp in Masai Mara is a great place write “Into Africa: The Story of Why I Never Left”. |
 |
Thailand
Beaches & Islands, Culture & Arts, Adventure & Shopping: Thailand can give you everything you need, especially Pad Thai. |
 |
Greece
Greece is the birthplace of modern western culture and democracy, and it doesn’t hurt that several thousand gods were born here, too. |
 |
Chile
Sandboard by day, stargaze by night, Chile offers a highroad to the Andes, a haunted Easter Island, and gaucho cowboys in the Arctic south. Come see why Patagonia is so much more than your favorite coat. |
 |
Pacific Northwest, US
An absolute necessity for the outdoor enthusiast, the Pacific Northwest is a fishing, hiking, canoeing, biking, rafting extravaganza. All of that with an endless flow of beer and coffee makes it absolutely perfect. |
 |
Cuba
Isolation from the modern world can do wonders for conservation, and the thing most conserved here is an unspoiled, friendly, and gregarious culture. Get there before the millions (people and dollars). |
 |
Egypt
There are more stories in Egypt than in every modern skyscraper combined, so view it as a playground for your insatiable imagination. (*Please put this destination on hold until there is greater stability in the current political climate.) |
 |
Japan
A small country with an equal measure of sensory overload and serenity, Japan has so much to be seen, tasted, and felt, that you could spend your lifetime seeing, tasting, and feeling it. |
