Narcissism is so baseline nowadays that it’s not even a disorder. But some events show us in the most spectacular ways that we may not be the center of the universe. Just leave that to the skies for the rest of this year. A solar eclipse known as the Ring of Fire and a spectacular meteor shower are all in store right in your backyard. With all that’s going on on Earth, it is nice to focus our attention elsewhere.

There was a time when traveling to a destination was as special as the destination itself. Whether by plane or train, the champagne flowed and you were welcomed aboard like a civilized human being. Meals were an exquisite occasion, and your sleeper cars were jewel boxes of luxury to tour the world. In a nutshell, travel was just plain glamorous. Well, you can have that again now, and perhaps better, on these luxury trains around the world.

There are few places that inspire such pride, that when you’re asked where you’re from, (as in country), you immediately say New York. Because if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

As do over 10 million tourists annually who come to New York.

Sometimes you travel to a destination just to chill. Sometimes you travel to a destination for, well, the destination. But when you’re traveling to a country for a restaurant, you know that it has to be one that blows your mind and goes down in the books as your best meal. In fact, there is one restaurant that is such a hassle to get to, in one of the most remote parts of Europe, that it’s easier to just chopper in which the hitters often do.

It’s already the experience of a lifetime to go to the Olympics but add in Paris and special access as if you’re on the Olympic Committee, and now we’re talking. Yes, there are VIP seats, a special entrance, exclusive lounges, and hosts to shuttle you around to your seats. But then there’s also your own official Olympic vehicle, which means you get your own lanes on the streets of Paris. While everyone else is stuck in traffic for hours, you’ll arrive in twenty minutes flat.

Whoever said to stop and smell the flowers must have been in Provence. We’re in the depths of summer, but this is still the one place in France that’s relatively unspoiled. There’s of course always a time and a place for $1k seafood towers and free-flowing bottles of Cristal. But it’s amazing what happens when you take away the mega yachts, nightclubs, and beach scene. So, what are you left with? Well, in this case, you have the countryside of Provence.

You know the Hollywood cliché of every guy and girl who have been “just friends” for ages. Guy dates every Mrs. Wrong even when Mrs. Right has been his BFF all along. This story has only been done, like, a gazillion times, just subbing out the players, the cities, and the sidekick supporting actors. Well, this also applies to vacation spots, and this one may just have the potential to be true love.

In honor of Bastille Day, we have to give a shoutout to the French. The world would not be the same without French food, French wine, or even French fries. Not to mention Paris in spring and summer in the South of France. Speaking of which, when you find yourself in a place whose raison d’etre is to give you an outlet for rosé-fueled lunches, chances are you’re in St. Tropez. This is the destination of the summer with its beach club culture and debauchery (hello L’Opera) which defines living it up.
