From physical features like mountains, forests, and bodies of water, to human impacts like buildings, roads, and other infrastructure, geography is everywhere. The languages, traditions, and religions of the world are all facets of geography. So are the boundaries and economic processes used to organize and develop the world.

Many people dream of exploring the world and experiencing elements of geography firsthand. However, not everyone can put their life on pause and travel.
