Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Tulum, Riviera Maya, Mexico

Found on Mexico’s golden coastline is the fascinating town of Tulum.

Explore the crumbling ancient ruins from the Mayan era, frolic on the caster-sugar sand beaches. You can then navigate the verdant tropical rain forests – the opportunities are endless.

For a real adventure, you must take a cenote tour. These are underground limestone caverns filled with glistening water to swim in – you can even go snorkeling in them!

San Francisco, California, USA

California’s uber-cool cosmopolitan city San Francisco is simply teeming with things to do.

Hire a bike and whizz over the city’s renowned Golden Gate Bridge (perhaps one of the world’s most famous bridges). Then keep going to explore the chilling unoccupied prison on Alcatraz Island. You can also stroll down to Fishermen’s Wharf and say hello to a colony of seals.

The city is one of North America’s favorites for a reason!

Samana, Dominican Republic

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

A UNESCO City of Design, Montreal is one of the oldest cities in Canada and retains an air of old-school glamour and dignity.

The Old Montreal District is the place to wander, where you can ogle at the aging architecture that transports you back to Montreal’s regal past. The Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal is not to be missed – the affluence of flickering candles, gold fixtures, and spiral structures are breath-taking.
