  • Beautiful white beach in Saint Lucia, Caribbean Islands

    Saint Lucia

    The Pitons look best from the water at dusk — but the real Saint Lucia is a bowl of pepperpot stew in a fishing village.

  • Aerial panorama of Sedona's iconic red rock formations and townscape landscape.

    Sedona

    Sedona’s red rocks hit differently at golden hour — but the vortex sites are where most visitors lose track of time entirely.

  • Shanghai, China

    Shanghai

    The Bund looks better from Pudong at night — but the real Shanghai is the French Concession’s plane-tree alleys at noon.

  • Traditional Japanese ramen bowl from Kodawari Yokoch Paris with soft-boiled eggs, pork slices, and fresh vegetables in a patterned bowl with a beer

    Tanzania

    Three UNESCO sites, one country: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Kilimanjaro alone justify the flight to East Africa.

  • Stone bridge in lush garden with vibrant green plants and colorful flowers, Alamo Heights San Antonio Texas.

    San Antonio

    The River Walk gets crowded by noon — walk it at 7am instead. The missions south of the Alamo are quieter and frankly more impressive.

  • Aerial view of Rome's modern EUR district.

    Lake Garda

    Sirmione sits on a narrow peninsula jutting into Lake Garda — the Roman ruins and medieval castle alone justify the detour from Verona.

  • Tram and Shops in Lisbon, Portugal

    Portugal

    Porto’s azulejo tiles and the Algarve’s cliffs are just the start — Portugal rewards the traveler who lingers past the obvious.
