As a keen traveler, nothing delights me more than being immersed in nature. From hiking in and around the foothills of Nepal’s towering snow-capped mountains to getting lost in the dense and misty cloud forests of Costa Rica, the awe-inspiring natural world always has the power to restore, inspire, and capture my imagination.
Over the past ten years, I’ve visited hundreds upon hundreds of beaches in places like the Florida Keys, Sri Lanka, and Belize. And while some boast impressive titles, like Brazil’s Praia do Cassino—known as the longest uninterrupted beach in the world at 254 km—it’s certainly not the prettiest, especially since cars can drive directly up onto parts of it, spewing out fumes and bass-heavy music.
