You don’t have to visit every country in the world, as Gina Morello has, to understand that each nation has its own unique culture, history and landscapes to discover. Inspired by Gina’s globespanning travels, this week we’ve picked some of our favourite getaways which encapsulate that variety. Trips where you can combine seeing amazing cultural sights from ancient temples to bustling medinas with exploring beautiful natural landscapes from towering mountains to dramatic coasts. Which country is on your wish list?
