Hidden Gems: Tomorrow’s Must-Visit Destinations
Antarctica
As soon as I stepped foot on the continent of Antarctica, I was treated to an array of sensory firsts. Never have I seen icebergs or mountains or sky so large, blues so blue or whites so blindingly white. Never have I heard the distant crunch and rumble of a glacier calving, the pop and crackle of the ice or smelled air so fresh and pure. Whales circle and dive below you, seals drift past on ice flows, and dozens of birds circle overhead. The adorable penguins with their antics and have not learned to fear humans, and it’s humbling to think you are the least of their worries. It truly a moving and memorable experience every traveller needs to do!
Africa
Africa is on many people’s bucket list, it’s a long flight, its not cheap and you need to plan well in advance. There is something magical about Africa, it’s different than the rest of the world. Africa is one of the last places on earth that is still raw and less disturbed by modernization. It’s rich, vibrant, colorful and incomprehensibly huge. It’s hard to travel to Africa and not come home with a different perspective of the world. There’s an energy that is unlike any other place in the world. You might even feel it as soon as you get off the plane; the air is different. There’s something old, pure and good about this continent. I often get clients say “I am only going once to Africa” but a look at them and say “let’s see what you say when you get back”. Africa has a way of drawing you back. It’s a one of a kind place full of unique destinations and experiences you just can’t find in other parts of the world. Once you go, you’ll will understand, and you are part of a special group of people who “know” what its like to experience Africa
