India

We’ve all heard of the Taj Mahal, Hawa Mahal, and the many famous mahals in between. But the real magic of Agra and Jaipur is found in the spaces between the postcards!

Despite its small size, Singapore is jam-packed with impressive sights, delicious bites, and never-ending nights to explore the grand city-state.

The First State

Nicknamed “The Diamond State” after Thomas Jefferson famously called it a “jewel” among the States, Delaware is a treasure trove of history and delight.

Denmark

Pack your smørrebrød and your sense of wonder — we’re off to Denmark! From castles that float to bridges that go in circles (on purpose), this little country packs in a big dose of charm.

Italy

Beginning in Rome and making our way up to Florence, our Italian Adventure was full of gorgeous cathedrals, mom and pop shops, delicious pasta, and too many Italian dogs to count.

Submitted by: Saahil Menon

When Mirza Hassan Ali Nasir al-Mulk commissioned his mosque in 1876, Iran was taking its first steps toward modernization under European influence. The result was a 12-year architectural experiment: Persian geometry met European floral tilework, all glazed in an extravagant pink hue achieved with gold-infused pigment. The craftsmen’s expensive choice paid off. Today, between 7 and 9 each morning, sunlight transforms the prayer hall into a kaleidoscope as it streams through stained glass windows, a technique Persian chemist Jabir ibn Hayyan documented centuries before European cathedrals adopted it.
