In The Land of the Midnight Sun — or more colloquially, Fairbanks, Alaska — history is steeped in gold. Founded at the beginning of the 20th century, the city was primarily built on Gold Rush fever, with panning being a hot activity for travelers. But local sisters Illaura and Jordan Reeves are changing the game of gold as we know it with @golddaughters. The two built their successful small business to teach Fairbanks travelers the nitty-gritty of panning, inviting them to be a part of the living history of their hometown — all while smashing gender stereotypes. “The biggest obstacle I face being a female in my industry is that I’m not what people expect when they want to learn how to gold pan,” says Illaura. “The stereotype is an old man with a big beard, hunched over at a creek. He’s been there since the Gold Rush, and he’s still out there panning. But that’s not us. We are your modern, professional gold diggers — in the literal sense. And we’re really good at it. We’re really proud of just how good we are.” #VisitTheUSA #UnitedStories (📷: @loganstrongarms📍: Fairbanks, Alaska)

“When that storm is coming toward you, you become immersed in the moment; there's nothing else you can think about. You're dialed into being in nature, and that's it — that’s enough. That is everything.” Storm chaser @tyschmitt opened up to the @beautifuldestinations team about his work chasing extreme storms — and how he learned, by showing up to face these physical tempests, to face those within himself as well. His story and work is a beautiful metaphor that we can all learn from — we may be able to run from the storms in our own lives, but by turning to embrace and confront the chaos head-on, each one of us can become the hero or heroine of our own story.

As the sun rises over the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve — the UAE’s first national park — onlookers in vibrantly-hued hot air balloons take in the vastness of the landscape as morning light illuminates the sandy scene. Dubai has taken groundbreaking steps in preserving this unique and beautiful desert habitat, especially when it comes to its endangered animals and threatened flora and fauna species. Photographer @loganstrongarms shares his experience of the reserve, reminding us how important it is to care for the planet we call home. "Meeting the employees of the reserve really helped us understand how passionate Dubai is about environmental conservation. Overlooking the divide between the desolate dunes and the habitable reserve was an incredibly impactful part of my hot air balloon experience — to me, the sight signified the important role conservation efforts play in the preservation of our beautiful planet." How do you help preserve the beauty of the world? (@visit.dubai, 📍: Dubai)

“Don’t let language barriers be the reason you don’t connect.” Photographer and #BDTeam member @cory.s.martin examines the instinctual craving for human connection — one that travel allows us to explore by dissolving the notion of conceived barriers — by looking through a closer lens during his trips. In one of his recent projects, he captured a series of individuals in their homes and hometowns to show the beauty in observing a destination through a local’s view. He ventured to far-flung corners of the world, including the location featured in this shot, Jerash, Jordan, to inspire the desire for people to seek out those local connections while traveling. In this portrait, a man stands stoically next to his horse, their bond — epitomized by the touching of their heads — is quite moving. How do you explore human connection when you travel?

Arachnocampa Luminosa glows in electric glimmers — speckling the vast, pitch-black underground caves of Waitomo with a turquoise luminescence. In their home on the North Island of New Zealand, thousands of these tiny glowworms radiate their distinctly-hued light into complete darkness to lure prey — small insects, snails, and slugs — by tricking them into believing the cave walls are actually the night sky. The #BDTeam members who captured this shot were struck by the dazzling site and oddity that nature had created — a fun reminder that some of the strangest circumstances can create some of the most beautiful outcomes.

Black asphalt snakes through a quiet road as the dusty light from the setting sun burns a brilliant red against the Aztec Sandstone of this state park in Nevada. With its blazing shades of vermilion and scarlet, it’s not hard to see why the park is known as the Valley of Fire. The members of park services are the unsung heroes of treasures like this — they play an essential role in protecting and preserving the integrity of these natural wonders. Let’s do our part to help them and keep Mother Nature safe and clean. What is one of your favorite national parks? (📷: @karl_shakur 📍 : Valley of Fire State Park - Overton, Nevada)
