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!

Singapore

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.

The Seventh Continent

All aboard! We embark from the end of the world aboard the MS Roald Amundsen on a (shivery) trip of a lifetime!

The sinking house is …not actually sinking. Instead, this optical illusion highlights the peculiar topography of Butte Montmartre—the highest natural point in Paris. The bonus for ascending the narrow alleyways and steep slopes that snake up around the uniquely positioned house is a visit to the strikingly gorgeous Sacré-Coeur basilica, perched at its peak and set against the breathtaking background of the city of light.
