Nagoya

As testified by epic movies like Shogun and Ran, Nagoya City is pure history, centred around Nagoya Castle. It was the Expo 2005 that put Nagoya on the world map. Post-Expo, Nagoya is positioning itself both as a centre for hi-tech industries and as a tourist gateway. Toyota Cars, old and new famed ceramics, Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, dolls and robots castles, feudal villas and farmhouses pearls, and a plethora of shopping and nightlife spots await you in this not-so-obvious choice of a Japanese destination.

Big Island, Hawaii

The Island of Hawaii is known colloquially as the Big Island — a fitting nickname for an island twice the combined size of its neighboring counterparts! Big Island flaunts its colors like the plumes of a peacock: fierce reds of magma from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park contrast spectacularly with the bright white snow of Maunakea, while the electric black sands of Punaluu Beach stream into the emerald green of the Hamakua Coast’s rainforests.

Ballina Byron

The Ballina/Byron region is delightfully diverse. It ranges from the quiet family world of Ballina to Byron Bay, the former hippy capital of Australia. Byron Bay was once a simple whaling station later rediscovered by surfers. Now, long after the 60s, the place is swarmed with tourists and celebrities wishing to experience this alternative town, which is still one of the most hippy destinations on the East Coast.

Baltimore, Maryland

Perched along the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore has been a vital port city since the 1600s, historically serving as the second most popular immigration gateway after Ellis Island. Just 35 miles northeast of Washington, D.C. and 75 miles southwest of Philadelphia, the city’s waterfront continues to define its character, blending history with modern cultural energy. A hub of innovation, arts, and diverse cuisine, Baltimore offers something for every traveler.

Perth

A combination of big city comforts, good weather and a laid-back approach to life make Perth one of the most livable cities in the world. It is a youthful and cosmopolitan city.

An excellent public transportation system allows visitors to explore the city with ease.

Syracuse, New York

A trip to New York City is the perfect occasion to visit Syracuse, the fifth most populous city in the state of New York and the county seat of Onondaga County. First inhabited by Iroquois Indians, Syracuse's area has experienced intense waves of migration since the mid 1600s, which has shaped the city into a melting-pot of different communities and one of the most important centers for commercial salt production.
