Here she stands in front of an intricately carved set of doors.

It took 6,000 Moroccan artists six years to finish the designs of the mosque.

A trip to Morocco wouldn't be complete without a trek to the desert. Tiffany takes a three-day trip to the beautiful rolling dunes of Erg Chigaga...

... on the back of a camel!

Tiffany poses with her new dromedary friend.

Looking down at the ruins of Trenčín Castle's fortifications from Matúš Tower. The castle, which dates back to Roman times, houses a museum of the region's history and is a National Culture Monument of Slovakia.

Dancer Betty Wang certainly gets a kick out of the view!

While driving through the Tatras, she stops to enjoy the fresh air and snap this shot.

Betty dances on the stage of an open-air theater in the Tatras Mountains. The biggest folk festival in the Orava region of northern Slovakia, the Podroháčsky Folklore Festival, is held here every summer.

In the center of the Piazza del Duomo, in Italy, the Fountain of Neptune stands. The Roman god of the sea, with his trident, watches over the bustling activity of Trento's main square.

Lago di Caldonazzo, the largest lake entirely in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy, is particularly enchanting at twilight.

No vacation to Peru is complete without a visit to the ruins of Machu Picchu, a once sophisticated mountaintop city of the Inca civilization.

After hiking to the top, Felix and Alex pause for a shot.

They also take a tour of the Salineras de Maras. These ancient salt mines were dug into the side of the Andes Mountains, making for an impressive sight.

Next on the itinerary, the Incan ruins of Moray. The exact purpose of these concentric terraces is unknown, but the soil used in their construction was brought from different regions of the Incan empire, and the way they were designed creates a temperature difference of up to 15°C between the top and bottom rings. Some theorize it was an ancient agricultural laboratory.

Felix, Alex, and Mauricio visit Taquile Island in Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America.

Bassist TK Kuo travels to Bali, Indonesia. Sweeping views of the sun-drenched rice terraces of Tegalalang are sure worth the journey!

A colorful, vibrant street in Ubud, Bali.

Jukung fishing boats, also known as traditional Balinese dragonfly boats, set off early in the morning in Sanur, a quiet, laid-back seaside town in southeastern Bali.

Our intrepid bassist also goes mountain climbing. Mt Rinjani, an active volcano on the island of Lombok, Indonesia, is 3,726 meters (12,224 feet) above sea level. No matter, TK is up to the challenge.
