Read MoreThe presumed technological-capital of the world, Tokyo presents with it an exceptionally interesting appeal; merging both innovation and tradition.

Read MoreJumping around the world in rapid succession, going from one spiritual location to the next, it's interesting to see the undeniable parallels between ancient ruins and our modern day ones. A thousand years from now, should the Vatican see the way of other ruins found in Cambodia, Greece and Peru, curious minds will sit and wonder with awe at how people from the past could have possibly built such amazing structures with low-grade technology, complete with fanciful dogmas and doctrines that were expected to be followed with austerity.

Read MoreOne of the more interesting free-spirited communities I have encountered; the 'sno-mad's of Lost Trail in Montana, United States, are a unique band of adventurers chasing inspired sources of both powder and stoke.

Read MoreEnshrouded in both myth and mystery, Santorini is believed by many to be the location of the lost city of Atlantis. Initially made up of one giant landmass, later splitting into five separate islands due to a cataclysmic volcanic eruption, it is understood that the Minoan civilization used to live on these lands; a culture which most attribute to being the actual Atlantean race.
