A city where the roads are waterways and the cars are gondolas — Venice is a place you have to experience to believe. Founded in the fifth century, this ancient city is a marvel of human ingenuity floating on 118 small islands, and visited by around 20 million people every year. Venice also gets hot in the summertime, hitting 82 degrees in July. Combine the sizzle with being in the inferno of tourist crowds, and jumping into those azure canals for a dip can sound quite refreshing. However, this is strictly prohibited. The reasons behind this are not just bureaucratic or for the sake of tradition. They are deeply rooted in concerns for health, safety, and the preservation of the city's unique ecosystem and heritage as a UNESCO site.

You're standing on top of a sand dune so snowy white it seems as if you've been transported to an alien planet in a faraway galaxy. Undulating white waves of sand, the color and texture of refined sugar stretch out in every direction as far as you can see. Face west and a range of hazy purple mountains line the horizon, but face due east, and from the right angle, the only colors visible are the pure white of the sand, and the pure cerulean blue of the sky. It doesn't seem like something you should be able to see on this Earth. Welcome to New Mexico's White Sands National Park, located approximately 50 miles northeast of Las Cruces.

Are you heading to Iceland this summer? When exploring this beautiful country, you will be met by a verdant landscape of almost technicolor greens. Meanwhile, if you're one of the few lucky visitors who make it to the Danish territory of Greenland, much of it will be covered in ice, no matter the season. This contrast has led to many tourists making one of the most overused jokes about the two destinations: Why is Iceland green and Greenland icy? Icelanders, in particular, are pretty sick of tourists making this comment. Local Nanna Gunnarsdóttir, wrote in a blog post on Guide to Iceland that "people always exclaim this like they are the most clever person on earth."

Seagulls duck and dive around the ferry dock as a line of cars load onto the Whatcom Chief. To test my ferry karma, I purposefully didn’t consult the schedule—a risky endeavor on a warm, clear Saturday in July. A wave of gratitude rushes through me as mine is the last of just 20 cars to board the tiny ferry that will carry us across the Hale Passage to Lummi Island in just five minutes. The postcard-ready scene features deep blue-green waters glistening in the sunlight, evergreen trees standing tall and resolute in the distance, and a cloudless, cerulean sky above. As we arrive island-side, the salty, pungent scent of low-tide fills the air.
