Where to Go When You Think You’ve Been Everywhere

Let me guess… you’ve strolled through the souks of Marrakech, taken in Santorini’s sunsets, and maybe even done a sunrise hike at Machu Picchu. Your passport is full, your camera roll even fuller, and yet… that restless voice inside still wonders... what’s next? Here's where to go when you think you've been everywhere

Boat sailing in mountains

One of the pleasures of writing travel stories is to open the eyes of even seasoned travelers to places they never would have dreamed of - places that fly under the radar but exert a disproportionate influence.


If you are craving landscapes that resemble another world, off-grid cultural experiences, or simply something different, these six places are worth getting to know.

During the rainy season, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the world's largest salt flat, transforms into a vast, shallow lake, creating a stunning "mirror" effect where the sky is reflected on its surface. 

1. Bolivia - The Mirror of the Sky

If you're searching for a place that resembles another world as one could possibly imagine, Bolivia won't disappoint. The world's largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni, turns into a giant mirror after rain - a mirage so beautiful that you can't help but wonder if it exists at all. Add the smoldering red waters of Laguna Colorada, colorful markets in La Paz, and deep indigenous heritage - Bolivia is a place that rewards even the most seasoned traveler with unforgettable experiences.

2. The Faroe Islands - Nordic Serenity, Unspoiled

Concealed in the North Atlantic, the Faroe Islands are Europe's best-kept secret. Towering cliffs, dramatic seascapes, and turf-roofed villages that create the illusion of something forged straight out of a fantasy novel. If isolation, cliff-dramatic landscape, and cozy culture are high on your list, the Faroes are calling.

3. Easter Island - Time Travel in the Pacific

Renowned for its spiritual moai statues, this small and secluded island is more than 2,000 miles from Chile. Easter Island travel is not so much about getting things done - it’s about absorbing the quietness, the legends, and the absolute remoteness. Ideal for travelers looking to log out, relax, and connect with something timeless.

4. Malta - A Mediterranean Treasure Trove

Malta is every history enthusiast's damp fantasy, a land of walled cities, ancient temples, and mixed culture, centuries and centuries deep. As small as it is, there's simply too much to see in one trip. Stroll Mdina's golden streets or take a boat to the nearby island, Gozo. There is an abundance of experiential opportunities that Malta has to offer you. This is the perfect location both for inner city exploration and for crystal-clear beach extravagance.

5. The Azores - Portugal's Best-Kept Secret

Stretching out over mid-Atlantic, the Azores are a lush, volcanic, wonderfully under-touristed group of islands. With steaming hot springs, crater lakes, and just plain-gorgeous coastline cliffs, they're paradise for nature enthusiasts. With their blend of Portuguese charm and island ferocity, they're perfect for adventure-seekers who crave equal measures of thrills and relaxation.

6. Bhutan - Happiness in the Himalayas

Bhutan is not the typical holiday destination, and that's the point. This Himalayan kingdom has but a single guiding force: gross national tranquility. Its unspoiled mountain landscapes, cliff-perching monasteries, and spectacular festivals provide a deep rewarding and cultural experience. Bhutan requires less frantic energy, but the reward is rich and enduring.
