Yerevan
Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with a history stretching back more than 2,800 years. Despite its ancient roots, it feels vibrant and modern, with wide boulevards, lively cafes, and an ever-present view of the majestic Mount Ararat on the horizon.
San Blas
San Blas is a small, western coastal town in the Mexican state of Nayarit. It is located about 100 miles north of Puerto Vallarta.
Collioure
Collioure, just before the Spanish border, aims its charms at its own people. It's the ideal small town-without-the-glitz antidote to condo city Riviera. Like an ice cream shop, Collioure offers 31 flavors of pastel houses and six petite scooped-out beach-sprinkled lightly with beachgoers.
Varanasi
Varanasi sits along the sacred Ganges River in northern India as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It is a place where daily life and rituals flow together on the long stone steps called ghats that reach down to the water. Visitors often rise early for a sunrise boat ride, watching as light spreads across the river and pilgrims make gentle offerings to the water.
Palmeira
On the north-western coast of Sal Island in Cape Verde sits Palmeira, an authentic fishing settlement where day-to-day life still revolves around the sea. The village’s seaside restaurants serve grilled tuna, octopus, and flying fish fresh from the day’s catch. Just a short trip from the centre lies Buracona, a natural lava rock pool famous for the “Blue Eye,” a glowing underwater cave that shines when the sunlight hits at just the right angle.
