There are some places that it’s hard to imagine actually exist in real life because they are just so unlike anywhere else. They offer breathtaking scenery and jaw-dropping views – they’re the kinds of places that every travel lover dreams of visiting at least once in their lifetime.
Wondering where these places are – and where you should book for your next getaway? Check out our guide to the Six Most Beautiful Places in the World, listed below.
1. Palawan Island in the Philippines
Voted the world’s most incredible island on more than one occasion, this beach paradise is home to white sand beaches, crystal clear seas, quirky fishing villages, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and an exotic abundance of wildlife.
2.Selijalandsfoss WaterFall in Iceland
Fed by melted water from the famous Eyjafjallajokull, the glacier-capped volcano , this waterfall flows down into the most incredible meadow landscape. However, it’s most well-known for the iconic footpath that winds behind the waterfall itself, giving visitors an experience, and photographic opportunity, unlike any other.
3. Elafonisi Beach in Crete
Once a guarded local secret, Elefonisi beach rose to fame in 2014 after being named one of the world’s most beautiful beaches – and with its unique pink sands, blue lagoon, and abundance of rare wildlife, it’s easy to see why. While packed full of crowds in the summer months, in the winter this Greek paradise is much calmer and more tranquil.
4. Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Described as a ‘safari mecca’, Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is one of Africa’s most visited tourist destinations, and it’s easy to see why. Home to the big five – lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, and elephants, and an incredible array of other wildlife, in addition to some amazing views and experiences, this national park is a must-visit destination.
There are a number of safaris on offer here, such as those offered by Tanzania Odyssey, allowing visitors to gain a real insight into the wildlife that thrives within the area.
5. Algar de Benagil in Portugal
Situated on the popular Algarve coast, this naturally formed cave grotto has come to be one of the destination’s most-loved tourist spots due to how beautifully unique it is. It’s known as one of the most impressive sea caves in the world, and is somewhere that can only be accessed by sea, meaning if you want to pay these caves a visit, you will need to book onto a boat tour.
6. Iguazu Falls in Argentina
Named as one of the more modern wonders of the world, Iguazu Falls is made up of a chain of waterfalls, offering visitors the most incredible experience. This combination of mini waterfalls extending along 3km in length is not a sight you will forget in a hurry. There are also beautiful walkways to trek along and plenty of viewing platforms to utilise in order to see the amazing view of these incredible waterfalls.
There you have it, our guide to six of the world’s most beautiful travel destinations. What’s amazing about each of the places we’ve listed above is how wonderfully unique they are, and how each offers an experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
No matter where you are in Greece there is a reason to get your camera out and start snapping because this land and its surrounding islands are nothing short of spectacular. During a recent stay in the Adorno Suites Mykonos hotel we went out exploring the island to get some shots of that amazing sunset. After asking around we discovered that the best place to witness those pinky, orange hues was the 7 windmills which have remained since the island’s wheat producing prime, and they weren’t wrong. During that trip we visited multiple islands and saw plenty of the mainland and many of those photographs have since made it to the walls in the home. For me there are few nations like Greece for snapping great shots and these are the best locations which I’d recommend.
Santorini
We should probably get started with the ‘supermodel’ of the Greek island which has recently become the dream spot for anyone who wants their Instagram profile to jump off the page, Santorini. This island in the Cyclades is a whitewashed paradise and it is not just the buildings and their simplicity that grabs the attention, but the gradient of the landscape and how that juxtaposes with the serenity of the sea below. A wonderful place to visit and somewhere you’ll need your camera at all times.
Mount Lycabettus
In Athens there is much to delight a photographer and of course the Acropolis is at the top of that list. What we weren’t expecting however was to find a place which offered uninterrupted views of this incredible place, but we managed to do just that at the top of Mount Lycabettus. This is a limestone hill not far from the Acropolis and whilst it requires a little legwork to get up there, it is most certainly worthwhile. Here you can count on amazing views of the city and easily one of the best angles to view the ancient citadel.
Exarcheia
Greece doesn’t just offer Mamma Mia-esque landscapes and ancient ruins, but also modern artwork which is just begging to photographed. Exarcheia in Athens was originally famed as being the home of the Greek anarchists, and it has since turned into a street art paradise. There are murals throughout this neighborhood, some political and others which err more on the side of comedy or introspection. There is something new around every corner and it is a neighborhood which is just waiting to be explored.
Pyrgi, Chios
This tiny island is famous for mastic-producing trees which are used in many industries, but within the isle there is a treasure trove of photo opportunities to be found in the small village of Pyrgi. The facades of the buildings in this village have been painted using these fascinating geometric designs which call your attention instantly. The way in which these patterns work with and against the scenery is breathtaking and you will have your camera out in no time at all to snap the range of fascinating designs.
These are just 4 of my favourite locations to take photos in Greece, and I can’t wait to go back again to discover more.
The cities of Metro Manila are perfect destinations for explorers. From top-notch restaurants and historic landmarks to art galleries and shopping hubs, there’s plenty to discover and love in the bustling metro. Sometimes, even long-time residents can be surprised by the delightful secrets hiding in plain sight.
If you’re one such explorer who’s always game for discovering something new, here are a few neighborhoods in Metro Manila that you ought to visit.
Timog and Tomas Morato, Quezon City
When it comes to foodie destinations, there’s nothing quite like Quezon City. Almost every corner has something to tickle your tastebuds, and these include places like UP Town Center, Maginhawa Street, and Teacher’s Village. Timog and Tomas Morato Avenues get a special mention, however, thanks to the wide variety and sheer number of dining options available here. If you’re the type to party, you’ll also find some of the best bars and clubs in these streets. There are also plenty of accessible and affordable places to stay the night, like Go Hotel Timog, if you need to sleep one off.
When it comes to sights, there are plenty to see in the Triangle and Scout Areas where Timog and Tomas Morato are located. Some of these include The Boy Scout Monument, which was built in memory of the Filipino contingent to the 11th World Scout Jamboree. The 22 Boy Scouts, 2 veteran Scouters, and their 2 chaperones were among the casualties of the United Arab Airlines Flight 869 that crashed in 1963.
Kapitolyo, Pasig City
Another foodie destination, this time in Pasig City, is Kapitolyo. It’s full to the brim with restaurants, bistros, hole-in-the-wall eateries, and other independent names in the business. The bars and pubs here are also more relaxed, with good music that doesn’t get overly loud. Some of the most well-known establishments here include Kanto Freestyle, Locavore, Rub Ribs, Silantro, Sky High Bar, and the Black Boar.
There’s also Cevio Art Haus along San Isidro Street. This house-turned-museum is a contemporary art space, dedicated to discovering young Pinoy talents and showcasing their art. It’s also a meeting place for creatives of all genres, providing a cozy atmosphere for like-minded people.
Bonifacio Global City, Taguig
Bonifacio Global City or BGC is another favorite haunt for food trips. In fact, BGC can give you an around-the-world experience with the wealth of cuisines to choose from. This neighborhood in Taguig is also quite walkable, with trees lining the streets and skyscrapers even shielding you from the heat of the sun at times. Early morning and late afternoon are good times for a walk, so you can see the various murals scattered in the area. For those looking to party, why not hunt for secret bars for a bit more fun?
BGC is also great for shopping, with clusters of shops located in Serendra and High Street. There are also nearby malls like Market! Market! and SM Aura. There’s also Venice Piazza, complete with a gondola ride along the artificial canal. Other points of interest include the Mind Museum, the Korean Cultural Center, and the Kasalikasan Garden.
Poblacion, Makati City
Poblacion in Makati has long been a favorite hotspot for delicious food and great drinks at reasonable prices. Coupled with its kitschy yet charming vibe, Poblacion is an energetic, colorful place to enjoy the company of your friends. If you want, you can also stroll along Burgos Street, the red light district, and take in the neon-streaked sights.
Poblacion is also home to interesting accommodations like the Clipper Hotel with its art deco design, as well as the charming bed and breakfast La Casita Mercedes, which is actually an ancestral house of a local family. There’s also Lokal Hostel, which has murals painted by Pinoy artists in all of their rooms.
Escolta Street and Ermita, Manila
Escolta was once a bustling trade and commerce center before World War II ravaged Manila. Today, Escolta is a favorite destination for those who want to see iconic buildings and relive the glory of what was once considered the “Wall Street of the Philippines.” Among the most popular structures here are the Capitol Theatre, the Burke Building, and the El Hogar. There’s also the eclectic Calvo Museum, which has pre-WWII memorabilia on display. When it comes to dining, it’s almost a sin not to visit the very first branch of Original Savory in the Philippines, which can be found on this street. This restaurant has been in the area since 1950.
Like Escolta, Ermita was once a rich and busy neighborhood. After World War II, the district slowly transformed and became Manila’s focal point. Aside from malls, schools, and hospitals in the area, along with key government buildings like the Manila City Hall, Ermita is also full of tourist destinations. There’s Rizal Park, Manila Ocean Park, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Anthropology, the Orchidarium, and more.
Roxas Boulevard, Manila and Pasay City
While not exactly a neighborhood, Roxas Boulevard has plenty to offer. From restaurants and hotels to amusement parks and a seaside promenade, you can spend an entire day along this stretch of road without having explored everything. The CCP Complex alone has several points of interest, like the Juan Luna and Diwa Galleries, and of course the various theaters where you can catch world-class shows. There’s also Star City nearby. It’s an amusement park that has been in the area since 1991.
If museums are more your thing, then you can visit the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, Museo Pambata, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Money Museum, and the Museo Maritimo at the Asian Institute of Maritime Studies. You can conclude your visit by catching the glorious Manila Bay sunset at the Baywalk, then head on over to one of the many restaurants for a filling dinner.
What about you? What’s your favorite Metro Manila neighborhood?
The scrimping and saving is complete, your clothes shopping is done, and you’re almost finished packing. You’re dreaming of sandy beaches, mai tais, and luaus as the sun sets. You have Hawaii on the brain, and it’s almost time to go. While it may be tempting to think about overindulging while on the Big Island (or any of the others), remember that it can bring with it an upset stomach, nausea, or just downright not feeling well. Because you want to enjoy every moment of your trip, you’ll need to find a vacation and wellness balance, but how do you go about that without missing out, or fully throwing away a habitually healthy way of life in the process?
Stay active while sightseeing
The beauty of Hawaii is everywhere, from the minute you touch down on the tarmac or make port on the cruise ship. But if you really want to immerse yourself in it, you’ll want to make sure to pack a pair of hiking boots or tennis shoes. Hawaii is best experienced through adventure, making it a great vacation for those who love working out, or who just need extra incentive to work out. Look for tours that include an activity to get your blood pumping, such as biking down a volcano or hikes through waterfalls (yes, that’s a real thing).
If active volcanos and the wildlife in the forests don’t do it for you, a full-body experience like ziplining or pro surfing lessons might. In general, ziplining will get you up to 35 to 50 miles per hour. While whipping through the canopy of the forest, you’ll have the wind in your face and the weightlessness that comes with the feeling of falling. Make sure to keep your legs and arms in tight so you don’t hurt yourself while passing a tree. Surfing lessons will challenge you to your core, literally. Keeping your core engaged is integral to being able to succeed in surfing. You’ll learn to swim out, stand up, and navigate a wave. By the end of the day, you’ll have had a full-body workout as well as an adventure that you’ll never forget.
Nutrition is key
The best and most important thing you can do for your body is to give it the highest quality food for energy. Loading up on alcohol on a beach day sounds like a party, but the hangover it could bring will mean extra time spent in your room, and not on your epic island adventure. Temper your drinking with plenty of water, or sports drinks that contain electrolytes. Between the sun and the alcohol, you have ample ways to get dehydrated.
Keep in mind that sugar can result in crashes during the day. So instead of constantly seeking out junk food under the guise of, “I’m on vacation!” try Hawaii’s local vegetation or a poke bowl, which consists of raw or cooked fish, various seeds, soy sauce, sweet onions, and sesame oil. Substitute desserts for fruits, and forego coffee in favor of smoothies.
Punch up the nutritional value of your smoothies by bringing along vitamins, especially private label supplements that can be chosen by working with your doctor or certified wellness coach to get the best possible ingredients for your body. This way, even if you can’t always make the healthiest choice, you’ll have something to make up the difference. If your body is happy and healthy through your vacation, you’ll also have an easier time transitioning back to real life once your fantasy trip is sadly over, as well.
While it can seem daunting to make the best choices for yourself while you’re on vacation, the gorgeous string of islands called Hawaii makes it so that the healthiest options only enhance the experience.

It’s incredible to think that there are still remnants of major man-made buildings which are still standing thousands of years after they were originally built.

Some of the modern locations, which also highlight the ingenuity of mankind include Macchu Picchu, which is an ancient city which is located in the mountains of Peru and the impressive Great Wall, which is located in China.The latter of which is 21.2 million meters long.
2. To learn about cultures which have had a great influence over the world

As another example, the ruins of the Temple of Artemis are located in Ephesus in Turkey, which was once a powerful civilization which was often at war with another classical powerhouse Greece.
Even if you take a quick look at the country’s which boast modernwonders such as China, which is home to the Great Wall, you’ll see that each country also had a profound impact on the world.

If you haven’t yet been to Iceland yourself, you’ve probably at least met someone who’s visited. There are many reasons for Iceland’s tourism explosion, but there’s one obvious reason that towers above all others: it’s an incredible place!
Iceland is home to beautiful natural scenery, ranging from the stunning to the strange (plenty of sights are both). And Iceland has more than just what you’ll find outside. It’s also a place full of wonderful people, great restaurants, and fantastic cultural and architectural attractions.
If you’re planning a vacation to Iceland, then here’s our best advice for pulling off the perfect trip.
Know when to visit
Iceland is great at every time of year, but there are certainly times when must-see sights are most accessible, the weather is most comfortable, and the cities and towns are most lively. Depending on what time of year you visit, you may be able to see the “midnight sun” or Northern Lights.
The peak of Iceland’s tourism season is summer. While visiting during June, July, or August might lead you to encounter some bigger crowds and, in some cases, steeper prices, it’s well worth it to be able to enjoy Iceland in good weather and bright light.
Because it is so far north, Iceland can be quite cold in the winter, when days are short and nights are long. With that said, you may find compelling reasons to visit Iceland at other times of year, and that’s great, too!
Spend time in Reykjavik
Iceland’s biggest city, Reykjavik, is not exactly a teeming metropolis: only around 330,000 people live there, which makes it a little bigger than Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. But it’s a wonderful and comfortable city, full of history and plenty of things to do.
Iceland may be known for its natural wonders, but you should certainly spend some time in Reykjavik and perhaps make it your base of operations for trips to nearby natural sights. The famous “Golden Circle” tour leaves from Reykjavik, for instance.
Head out to Iceland’s national parks
There are a lot of must-see natural sights in Iceland, but you could certainly do worse than to focus on Iceland’s stunning national parks. These spaces are considered exceptional even by the standards of this beautiful land, and that’s why they have been protected.
Some of Iceland’s national parks are within striking distance of Reykjavik, but others are in farther-flung locations. You may want to rent a car to get out to these spaces — happily, it’s not too stressful to drive around Iceland.
Take guided tours
Iceland’s natural spaces can be explored alone, but it’s well worth the investment to pay a professional guide, especially when the tour in question takes care of transportation to a natural site (like the Golden Circle tour) or provides safe access to otherwise inaccessible spaces (like ice cave tours).
Taking an ice cave tour Iceland is a thrilling way to experience the wild natural beauty of this unique place. Ice cave tours are safe ways to explore the winding tunnels of Iceland’s natural ice caves, and they’re a great example of why it pays to hire professionals when you visit Iceland.
It’s hard to go wrong when you’re taking a vacation to a place as beautiful and as welcoming as Iceland. But when you’re talking about a once-in-a-lifetime trip, you want to get every detail right the first time. So plan carefully, take our advice into account, and get ready to experience one of the most beautiful and unique nations on planet Earth.
France is a wonderful country for kids and adults alike. Its capital, Paris, is not referred to as the City of Lights for no reason. It has its beauty lit up within its core and etched in its pore—from its cuisine to its history, and architecture. What are some of the places to visit while in France?
As much as a school trip involves imparting some education, your students will at some point want to play tourists. What better way to do this than to visit the main attractions in Paris? Incorporating a visit to the Eiffel tower on your school trips to France will help add some fun to the whole experience.

The aerial view of the city and the look on the students’ faces as they take it all in are bound to last for a long time.

From here, the view of Paris is amazing and is one your students are bound to remember for long. This happens to be the highest point in the city. You can then schedule a visit to the Left Bank to view one of the greatest museums in the city.
Taking a boat ride on River Seine provides the students with a great view of some of the greatest buildings in France.
The boat ride will take you to some of the beautiful landmarks in the city such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, and Notre Dame.
It is the perfect way for you and the students to see popular sites in France and take some pictures as well.
Some of the most popular art pieces in the world are housed in France. A visit to Paris, France will, therefore, prove educational for art and history students. The Musee d’Orsay, housed in a former railway station was completed in 1900 and displays art pieces collected from the period between 1848 and 1914. Art students will get to view pieces from Renoir, Degas, and Monet.
