3. This town is basically every skier's fluffy, snowy heaven.
Packed to the brim of fluffy mountains and a clear blue sky
as far as the eye can see, this ski resort is around 8,000 acres
of pure winter beauty. Reminiscent of a children's
storybook, this small town in Utah can provide anyone with
a rejuvenating, refreshing weekend gateway to allow you to
reconnect with nature. Along with its natural charm, there
is a lively town with entertaining nightlife not too far off
the beaten path.
5. One of the most memorable train rides, this train's
historical route from Moscow to Vladivostok is without a
doubt too stunning to put into words. The wide,
mesmerizing landscape of Siberia resembles an
impressionist scene that Cezanne himself simply missed.
The golden meadows are just a small taste of everything
that awaits you on this "centennial journey."
7. As a popular new destination, Iceland has quickly
become a nature lover's paradise, especially with a good
amount of tourists visiting the Fjords. But further east,
there is a plethora of magnificent scenery and nature
that is mostly untouched by tourists. Rich with wooden
house, hiking trails in lush green forests and bohemian
sculptures, I promise you won't tire of East Iceland's
pastel colors with the backdrop of the rhyolite
mountains.
9. An exotic skier's paradise, Hokkaido has been a
popular area for many a winter sport for decades.

country's ancient capital, Kyoto it will be even easier to
visit Japan's winter treasure.
11. Hidden near the Incan Andes in Peru, Lake
Titicaca still continues to be a magical
destination for many people who want to
explore ancient Peruvian history. Along with
wooden boathouses, it is absolutely incredible to
get the true nature experience by simply taking
a canoe and sailing for sailing's sake. Take the
time to explore the way Peru once way, believe
me you won't regret it.
13. Apparently the inspiration of Kipling's jungle
book tales, this region of central India has awed
visitors since colonial times. The center of copper
trade during ancient times in India, Jaipur is no
doubt an essential stop in this country full of
temples, palaces and silk roads. Feast your eyes
on cultural antiquity that has been gracing
India's landscape for centuries.
15. Gorgeous teal blue Mediterranean sea, green rocky
mountains for miles and ancient ruins to make
your history professor jealous, the Cycladic islands
are a stunning way to see Greece. Convenient from
Santorini, Crete or Athens, these islands share a
perfect balance of ancient and modern, while still
offering a fair amount of cultural activities that
would liven up any summer evening.
17. The vibrantly colored buildings echo patterns
that have graced both locals and visitors of the

this city has to offer. As Poland's fourth largest
city, tourists can revel in the city's rich history,
old square market that dates back to the 13th
century and old town that may even give Krakow
a run for its money. Pierogis anyone?
19. Famous for its deliciously sweet and flavorful
dessert wine, Porto has been a cultural center since
300BC, with its chapels, bars, restaurants and
romanesque architecture all luring in tourists for
centuries. And in terms of Porto, no one does it
better than Ferreira.
