My work has taken me to over 50 other countries and I’ve seen many amazing sights but I have to say the Grand Canyon in the US is the first thing that comes to mind.

The other was a very specific time and place; I was sailing an 18th century tall ship far off shore in the dead of night, no lights or engine noise. You could see so many stars along with the most intense meteor shower I’ve ever seen. Streaks in the sky every couple seconds, some so bright they lit the sky like a flash of lightning and left a green streak behind. The water was full of bioluminescence and we were being accompanied by dolphins playing in our bow wake that were also leaving trails of light in the water.
