1. Ever heard of a potato? At Chile
Of course you have. Well, the common spud actually traces its origin to a peanut-shaped island off the coast of northern Patagonia, Chile.
Isla Grande de Chiloé is South America's fifth-largest island and is home to a fiercely independent, seafaring people. Culinary travel based around the island’s prismatic native potatoes thrives in the island’s capital, Castro, which is also known for its colorful stilt homes.
Visit here and the first thing you will notice is the differences in architecture and cuisine. Dig a little deeper and a rich spiritual culture that is based on a distinctive mythology of witchcraft, ghost ships and forest gnomes is revealed.

2. When is the best time to visit US and Canada's national parks? At Banff National Park

3. When your crush looks your way... quick, act natural. How adorable is this seal?
Located in Pieterburen, Netherlands, the Seal Rehabilitation and Research Centre rescues and helps seals that are ill, weak, or beached. The number of animals in the Seal Center always differs—once these sick, injured, or orphaned seals are taken care of and have recovered, the animals are released into the wild again. A visit to this center makes an interesting day for people of all ages! You can learn about the problems that affect seals and see what the center does to help them.

8. This psychedelic kelp forest is way too hypnotic
"I was mesmerized by the kelp forests of Eland's Bay, as they shimmered in and out of view in the cloudy green surf. Eland's Bay is a beach town along South Africa's Atlantic coast, frequented by surfers, dolphins, and sea birds." If this mesmerizing sight can only be witnessed from an overhead perspective, imagine all the things we can't see at eye level!

It’s very rare to find lakes this clear in Alaska because most are ridden with silt and dust particles from mountain glaciers. Take a moment to enjoy the clear waters of this stunning remote lake located in Valdez, a city in this incredible US state. Majestic, extreme, and uncharted are some of the words to describe Alaska, and with landscapes so surreal and diverse, it's easy to see why it's called "Mother Nature's Showcase".
