  • Big Island, Hawaii

  • Galapagos Islands - one of the most "must-see" places on the planet. Although you can't easily stay there (no hotels or resorts, as 97.5% of the islands' land mass is a nature reserve), the diversity of wildlife you can encounter in even a single day is mind-blowing. (Think about it. Darwin based The Origin of Species off the freaking place.) Via: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cherylcrotty/3984544599/sizes/l/in/photostream/

  • Florida's Forgotten Coast - Much like Big Sur, the Forgotten Coast is a relatively undeveloped portion of the Florida coastline, which offers some extensive access to wildlife, amazing rock formations, and quiet lodging. Unsurprisingly, this is why the stretch of land from Mexico Beach to Carrabelle, Florida was named thus—while North Florida was being developed, it was simply (and thankfully) forgotten.

  • Maldives - one of the craziest geographical formations in the world. Not only is it the lowest country (average ground level is less than five feet, and the highest point is less than eight), but it consists of 26 chains of islands, totaling 1192. Many of them are surrounded by water shallow enough that you can walk or swim to them, and the views are—obviously—accordingly stunning. However, due to rising water levels, get out there & experience as soon as possible. Via: isco72 on Flickr

  • Binn, Switzerland - Located high up in a valley in the Swiss Alps, Binn is pretty difficult to access (train, and then a bus)—but well worth the travel. Binn is comprised of a tiny village, rolling green hills, and intimidating mountains. It's known as a dream not just for hikers and adventurers, but photographers, anyone who enjoys an awesome bed and breakfast, and of course, skiers in the winter.

  • Havasu Falls, Arizona - Off the famous Route 66 lies "Indian 18," a 65-mile-long, completely undeveloped road that leads to Hualapai Hilltop in the Grand Canyon. Once there, it's another ten miles hiking to reach the astounding Havasupai Village and Havasu Falls—the latter which possesses water so vibrantly turquoise that it seems unbelievable.

  • Big Sur, California - a loosely defined and sparsely populated region in the Central Coast of California, containing some of the most wonderful views in the entire state. Cone Peak is the highest coastal peak in the contiguous United States, permitting you to see the majority of the central coast—it's located only three miles from the beach, and goes up almost a mile. Not only that, but the Los Padres National Forest is right off the coast as well. Via: harklee on Flickr
