Because we travel to the most fascinating and beautiful places in the world, it’s the rare editorial trip that doesn’t leave us with an unforgettable moment or three. Indelible memories often happen unexpectedly, but they’re usually a result of planning: putting ourselves in the right place at the right time (our advisors in the Travel Office are often helpful in that regard). These reminiscences below represent just a few of our favorites from the past year.

On the top deck of the ship, we sipped mezcal old-fashioneds and told stories. As the full moon dimmed to a pale pink, constellations illuminated a dazzling night sky streaked with shooting stars.
