Few places in the world can rival the natural beauty found along the Amalfi Coast. This region on the southern edge of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula is home to 13 quaint towns etched into seaside cliffs. Among the pastel-hued fishing villages, you'll find upscale hotels and resorts, plus plenty of delectable Italian wine and food that ranges from rustic to refined. For a scenic and relaxing daytrip, take a boat to the nearby island of Capri to admire natural wonders like the Blue Grotto.

Argentine Patagonia is a must-visit destination if you consider yourself an adventurous traveler. Otherworldly landscapes await you in Southern Patagonia, while endangered species (think: Magellanic penguins) roam Península Valdés– a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another must-see is the Perito Moreno Glacier, which is one of the only glaciers in the world that is growing rather than shrinking. And if you're up for the challenge, a hike through the surrounding Andes (especially Mount Fitz Roy, or Chaltén) will provide unforgettable views.

A visit to this national park in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming is considered by many to be a rite of passage for Americans, and it's sure to leave you in awe of nature's power. Marvel at the kaleidoscopic waters of the Grand Prismatic Spring, catch the Old Faithful geyser's hourly show, admire (from a safe distance) the roaming bison in the Lamar and Hayden valleys or simply relax with a picnic at Yellowstone Lake. To get more in touch with nature, reserve a spot at one of Yellowstone's 12 campgrounds and spend the night beneath the stars.

Does Machu Picchu live up to the hype? Does it ever, says Schultz. The most-visited site in South America will always have a special place in Schultz’s heart, as it’s where she met Edith—one of the most memorable characters she’s encountered in her extensive travels. “Edith had never been outside of New Jersey before, but decided that, for her 90th birthday, she wanted to go to Machu Picchu—and she did it,” she says. Although Edith proved it’s never be too late to cross a destination off of your bucket list, there may in fact be a deadline looming for the Lost City of the Incas. Due to the amount of foot traffic it’s receiving each year, Schultz says the historic site is in danger of sinking, and may be subject to future caps on visitors.

Boasting unparalleled natural beauty, Schultz puts Norway in her top seven must-see destinations. From the breathtaking fjords to the Northern Lights to the famed “Midnight Sun,” there are so many natural wonders at play in this Scandinavian paradise, Schultz says it’s well-worth exploring—despite its relatively high price tag. “It’s not inexpensive, but it’s incredibly safe and English is widely spoken,” she notes. Schultz recommends soaking up the sights in Oslo—“a magnificent capital city”—then venturing on to Bergen, where you can set sail for a cruise along Norway’s spectacular west coast.

How would Schultz describe Thailand in just three words? “Exotic, beautiful and fascinating,” she says. Boasting the most visited city in the world, Bangkok (sorry, Seoul!), Thailand offers such a wide variety of experiences that it keeps travellers coming back for more. After you’ve fully enjoyed the splendour of Bangkok—including its top tourist attraction, the Grand Palace—she recommends taking the one-hour flight north to Chiang Mai. It’s there you’ll find the country’s historic heart, with bustling night markets and breathtaking Buddhist temples.

A quiet sandbar on the tip of the Yucatan peninsula, Isla Holbox is the place to go for swimming with whale sharks, kayaking through a bioluminescent bay, and living life car-free — only golf carts and bicycles ply on the unpaved dirt roads. As the sargassum problem along the Riviera Maya continues to rise, many beachgoers have turned to Holbox’s pristine – and mostly seaweed-free – beaches. The rapid pace of development in Holbox is admittedly a bit concerning (Margaritaville recently opened a location). But the local community of Holboxeños seems genuinely committed to ensuring Isla Holbox doesn’t go the way of Tulum, 2021’s poster child for over-tourism.

The US Virgin Islands are open for business with minimal hassle for entry to US citizens – a commodity sparingly found in the Caribbean these days. Of the four main islands within the US territory, St John is our favorite offering a unique island vibe that stands apart from the others. The island’s two small villages, Cruz Bay and Coral Bay, are lined with beachfront bars filled with weathered sailors with tales to tell, mainland misfits escaping the stresses of reality, and awestruck visitors soaking it all in. Covering 60% of the island is Virgin Islands National Park featuring miles of hiking trails through lush tropical forests, a plethora of historical ruins and ancient artifacts, and the most pristine white-sand beaches in the Caribbean.
