Cherry blossoms, sushi, pagodas and temples. Japan has everything from big city life to rival Times Square in New York City to the vast countryside for quiet reflection and meditation. Japan's ancient history spans back through dozens of empires each one leaving a token of rememberance for future generations. Superstition and a belief in the afterlife have shaped a culture of respect for ones ancestors, to honor them through your actions in every day life.

Dine Under the Stars in Australia

Australia, the land down under, home to the duck-billed platypus, the Outback and the Great Barrier Reef. Most Australians live in the major cities of Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide along the coast. Travel further inland and you will enter the indigenous territory of the Aboriginal people of Australia. These tribes date back to pre-history, many carrying on the same traditions and customs from so long ago. This country (did you know it's also a continent?) is the perfect retreat for the outdoorsman looking for ample and challenging rock climbing and hiking as well as the cosmopolitan traveler, interested in sophisticated city life.
