Whether the travel bug has bitten you or not, it’s important to see what the world has to offer. Humans are so diverse in their experiences that you’re really cheating yourself by staying safe and warm at home. One of the strongest expressions of our diversity lies in our design. Across the globe you will see architectural designs that are characteristic of that region; the time they were built, and even of the designer’s own tastes. Buildings are more than just brick and mortar; they’re a window to another life.
Maybe I’m just sentimental, but I don’t think any of these would make good family trips… but with that special someone…
