Cambodia
Sunrise over Angkor Wat
When touring the largest religious monument in the world, it’s best to arrive early. If you do, you’ll see dawn’s warm hues paint a canvas for the lotus-shaped towers of Angkor Wat. Built at the end of the 12th century, a visitor can only imagine the Herculean effort that went into putting all the sandstone blocks in place, using elephants, coir ropes, pulleys and bamboo scaffolding. But greater than its scale, is its ornate beauty and historical significance.

Cuba
We're getting closer to the culture
July 20th was a big day for restoring relations between the U.S. and Cuba as embassies were reopened. Although Cuba is still under a U.S. trade embargo and American citizens cannot freely travel to Cuba, this is a major step forward.
Portugal
Apaixone-se pelo Porto (fall in love with Porto)
To fall in love with Porto is to unhinge yourself from your cares back in the New World, and immerse yourself in charms of an Iberian coastal city with bell towers and cobblestone streets. Porto will lure you with its cafés, lose you in its labyrinth of wine cellars and romance you with dancing in the plaza.
Waterloo
The battle that changed the course of history
Who knows what the present would look like had Wellington not vanquished Napoleon at Waterloo. Perhaps the Brits would be enjoying croissants for breakfast instead of blood sausage. And Waterloo would be a euphemism for victory instead of failure.
