Asia has an incredible diversity of climates and landscapes: from the world’s highest snow capped mountain range to tropical impenetrable jungle and pristine beaches. It’s the world’s largest, most populated continent and home to the dawn of civilization. A land of ancient civilizations and spiritual grounds.


Europe is widely perceived as a continent full of cultural exploration. Obviously, the Industrial Revolution took its toll on nature, but Europe has truly unique – natural and human made – landscapes and wilderness too. Although problems remain, nature has also recovered over the last decades, and there are plenty of easy accessible regions to enjoy.

As it stretches roughly 14.000 kilometres from North to South, it has a wide variety of climates and landscapes: from freezing Polar Regions to the broiling Tropics. Native Americans left their legacies through the remains of ancient civilizations, but also through their descendants.
