Indonesia's Lake Toba is a volcanic lake with stunning views and Batak culture.The United States' Glacier National Park is a scenic wonder with glaciers, lakes, and wildlife like grizzly bears and mountain goats.Japan's Ise Grand Shrine is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the sun goddess and a sacred site.

Brazil's Fernando de Noronha is a remote archipelago with pristine beaches and a marine conservation area.Thailand's Chiang Mai is a cultural hub with temples and night markets selling local handicrafts.

Traveling can be a great way to break out of a rut and gain fresh perspective on life.Getting lost in a good book while on a long train ride is one of my favorite things to do while traveling.

Some of the best travel memories come from unexpected encounters and chance meetings with locals.Sampling the local craft beer scene is a great way to get a taste of a destination's culture.
