Have you heard of the Suez Canal before? This artificial body of water, which separates Asia from Africa, is right next to its namesake city. The canal itself is a major attraction of this two-continent city, with other highlights including the Suez National Museum.
Located near the Russian border with Kazakhstan is the city of Orenburg, a city that falls right on the border between Europe and Asia. Deep into Russia’s heartland, this city is separated by the Ural River, which marks the continental division.

]]>Moray, Peru’s hidden Incan gem, is a perfect example of this.
While Machu Picchu might receive all of the attention when it comes to Incan sites in Peru, Moray is a spot that is absolutely worth discovering in its own right.
Located just 45 kilometers to the southeast of Machu Picchu is Moray, an Incan archeological site that stands on its own as the most spectacular example of Incan agricultural practices that is left for us to see today.
Several terraced circular depressions, some of which extend up to 100 feet deep below ground level, are the highlights of this site. Archeologists have determined that these terraced features were built in order to cultivate crops such as potatoes.
The striking appearance of the remains of Moray and their deliberate geometric figures contrast sharply with the jagged, natural peaks of the Andes Mountains that lurk behind them in the region.
If you’re looking to plan a trip to Peru to see the wonder of Machu Picchu, make sure to make time for a stop at Moray as well.

]]>San Antonio is the home of Texas’s most famous historical site, the Alamo. A Spanish mission and fortress dating back to the 18th century, this structure was the host to one of the most pivotal battles in Texas’s fight to secede from Mexico in 1836, and can now be visited.
One of Texas’s darkest memories was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald took aim at the president from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, which has now been transformed into a memorial space and a museum about the infamous event.
Located near Houston on Texas’s Gulf Coast is the San Jacinto Battleground, another key site in the Texas Revolution. In April 1836, the decisive battle that led to Texas gaining its independence from Mexico was held here. It is now a National Historic Monument.

]]>The Gateway Foundation, a California-based company which announced its plans for an orbiting, space-based hotel back in 2019, has placed a name on the project and plans to open in 2027 if all goes right.
Voyager Station will be the name of this space hotel and it will offer up a truly one-of-a-kind experience to the travelers who are lucky enough to stay there. This ambitious project, which involves 24 different “modules” connected by an elevator shaft that will orbit Earth, was inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” The hotel is expected to feature simulated gravity and will attempt to be as similar as possible to a luxury Earth hotel, including a bar, a restaurant, and all the amenities you would expect on Earth.
The views, however, will literally be out-of-this-world. A unique perspective of the Blue Planet awaits guests who end up staying at the Voyager Station. Expect more news about this game-changing project to come over the next few years before construction is scheduled to begin in 2026!

]]>The southern tip of Florida is the home of Everglades National Park, one of the most impressive tropical wetlands found anywhere on Earth. From breeding birds to crocodiles, from mangrove forests to swamps, the unique treasures found here can be experienced with hikes, tram tours, and camping.
The barrier islands of the seashore of northern Florida on the Gulf of Mexico are protected as a national seashore thanks to their ecological importance. White quartz sand beaches, dunes, pine trees, and salt marshes containing unique animals are easily accessible via nature trails.
The southernmost point of the continental United States are the Florida Keys, which can be accessed by US Highway 1 and feature great opportunities for fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving as well as pristine beaches.

]]>On the Oregon side of the river, you will find Multnomah Falls, the most famous spot in the gorge. This waterfall cascades a total of 627 feet down from the mountains to the Columbia River and provides two incredible lookout spots at which you can marvel at the area’s beauty.
Moving over to Washington, Beacon Rock State Park is another one of the gems of the Columbia River Gorge. 32 miles east of Vancouver, a massive basalt volcanic plug rises 848 feet above the river and the area around it provides beautiful hiking trails and spots from which to see both the river and the namesake rock.
This man-made structure in the river was built in 1934 and protects the surrounding region from flooding in the area’s rainy conditions. You will marvel at the scope of the structure and the force with which the water pours through it from the idyllic meadows on either side of the river.

]]>Well, there are technically borders in the European Union, but you won’t find any border controls or long waits to cross because movement is not restricted within countries. That means you can cross from Spain into France without even stopping!
Nearly all countries in the EU have adopted the Euro, a currency which is used throughout 19 of the 27 member states of the entity. This is a big advantage, as prices and currencies don’t change and you won’t have to exchange money or do calculations in your head.
Finally, the extreme diversity that can be found within the EU is yet another reason to explore it. The 27 countries which combine this union features different landscapes, cultures, and languages that you will never get bored of exploring.
