Loire Valley, France
There’s nothing more romantic than walking through the pretty gardens at Château de Villandry.

Huangshan, China
Also called Yellow Mountain, the national landmark is known for its foggy, ink wash painting-like views and the eponymous pine trees.

Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
A drive along the 469-mile highway is the perfect way to see fall’s changing colors up close.

Interlaken, Switzerland
The Swiss town looks ethereal when covered in snow, but it looks equally lovely wearing head-to-toe green.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Head to Princes Street Gardens for a sea of crimson foliage.
Kyoto, Japan
The cable car ride down Mount Hiei has the most incredible panorama of the Enryaku-ji pagoda and the surrounding forest.
Sooke Lake, Victoria, British Columbia
It’s only natural that Canada — with the maple leaf as a national symbol — has foliage that’s out of this world.
Berlin, Germany
Taking a bike ride through Tiergarten Park is lovely during any season, but the sight of leaves falling into the Landwehr Canal is truly unparalleled.
Bogota, Colombia
The tropical city technically does not have seasons. But, these blooms on Mount Monserrate make a totally fall-appropriate bouquet.
Providence, RI
This view of the Woonasquatucket River is gorgeous to begin with, but the swans are extra swoon-worthy.
Queensland, Australia
It’s still summer down under, but this postcard-ready lighthouse overlooking the Great Barrier Reef is perfectly autumnal.
Belgrade, Serbia
The European capital offers a soothing scene of greenery.
Their Top Travel Recommendations

“Turkey can only be defined as a mosaic of culture its where the hustle and bustle of Asia meets the elegance of Europe with a Middle Eastern twist,” says Niemi. “Palawan, Philippines introduced me to the underwater world of scuba diving, some of the most breathtaking sunsets I have ever seen, and the most incredible sailing I have ever experienced.”

“Island-wise nothing beats the Maldives,” says Chai. “You literally feel like you’re a drop in the ocean there because usually at a resort all you’ll see is the sea. No neighbours, no noise, it is the ultimate idyllic island life. And the water there is akin to stepping into your own turquoise coloured pool. For me when I first went to the Maldives I thought ‘this is paradise.'”
