Strasbourg is one of those places that feels like it belongs in two worlds at once—because it kind of does. Nestled on the eastern edge of France, right by the German border, Strasbourg is a beautiful contradiction. Think timber-framed houses that look straight out of a Grimm fairytale, but also sleek political buildings like the European Parliament.
Nestled at the base of the iconic Mount Fuji lies a forest so quiet, so dense, and so steeped in mystery that it has earned the haunting nickname: The Suicide Forest. But beyond the rumors and media sensationalism, Aokigahara is a place of geological wonder, unusual silence, and magnetic peculiarity.
Standing 867 feet above the surrounding prairie, with vertical walls that seem carved by giants, Devils Tower is one of the most striking natural wonders in the USA. This massive monolith in northeastern Wyoming has been a sacred site for Native American tribes for centuries — and a source of fascination, legends, and even Hollywood blockbusters.
