THE WIDE-EYED SHORTLIST

What makes Malaysia special.

Food that changes by region

Mexico is not one cuisine. Coastal seafood, Yucatán specialties, northern grilling, complex moles, and everyday market meals make each stop feel distinct.

History you can walk through

Ancient archaeological sites, colonial centers, living Indigenous traditions, and modern art all exist in conversation with one another.

More landscapes than expected

Desert, cloud forest, mountain towns, jungles, volcanoes, and two long coastlines make it easy to build a completely different trip every time.
