What's your favourite place in the world? Tough question, we know, but it's one that we posed to a few of our friends. The answers were varied – some close to home, some further afield, all personal. However we looked at them, one thing was abundantly clear: there's beauty to be found, cherished and cared for in every corner of this planet. Scroll down to take a tour of just a few of these places.
Fancy taking us on a journey to your favourite place in the world? Share on Instagram tagging #AdventuresOfAnthro @AnthropologieEU and we'll donate £1 to World Land Trust's Plant a Tree initiative for every photo we receive. Every £5 will fund the planting, nurturing and protecting of one tree to help restore the world's wild habitats.

Udaipur, India
"This is easily one of the most magical places I’ve ever been to. Nestled in the Aravalli Hills, it’s the ultimate peaceful sanctuary away from the bustling city. The views at sunset from Raas Devigarh are not to be missed."
Louise Jackson, Founder of The Jacksons - @thejacksonslondon
Khulna, Bangladesh
“One of the happiest villages that I visit in Bangladesh. We play football and I always try to get boys and girls to play together with varying success!”
Hannah Beaumont-Laurencia, Founder of Beaumont Organic - @beaumontorganic
Alentejo, Portugal
"Portugal is very dear to my heart. It’s not only where the Beaumont Organic collection is made but also where I met my Portuguese husband at 16, later got married and now visit regularly to see our family."
Louisa Canham, Founder of La Eva - @lifelaeva
Drymonas Waterfalls, Evia, Greece
"This is on route to a little beach house we have on the island of Evia. To get there we cross a range of mountains running through the centre of the island. The ground is covered with pine and plane trees, and there is an incredible network of fresh water streams and waterfalls hidden out of sight."

Lake Como, Italy
"Italy has always held a special place in my heart and has been at the centre of so many unforgettable memories over the years. From eating fresh pesto as the sun set over the Mediterranean and getting stuck in Venice on my birthday to here in Como, driving up and down the coast in a tiny hire car with my partner."

Miami, California, USA
"Miami Beach at dusk is an amazing place to sit and observe the world. Being an '80s child, the Baywatch fan in me couldn't walk past this iconic lifeguard tower. Miami was love at first sight. The ambition in the air, the light, the people and the endless places to shoot…the list goes on."
Jenny Dyson, Co-Founder of Goddess Charms - @goddesscharms
Palolem Beach, South Goa, India
"This is where the ocean races into a long creek that leads up into the jungle. There's wildlife everywhere, monkeys and the occasional lesser spotted yogi. I had attended one of Maree's (co-founder of Goddess Charms), retreats and she had arranged a trip for us all to go dolphin spotting, then up the salty river to feed the eagles. It was a magical holiday – it's where I met Maree and where Goddess Charms was born."
Willow Crossley, Florist - @willowcrossleycreates
Tresco, Isles of Scilly, England
"This is one of my favourite views in the world – breakfasting at the Ruin Beach Café and watching the boys pottering on the shore, hunting for crabs."
Rachel Fortune, Founder of the Sustainable Lifestyle Awards - @slawards
Cornwall, England
"I grew up here and still visit with my family as much as we can. This picture holds particular happy memories – it was a beautiful day and our children learnt to body surf. There is something so special about spending your days building sand castles, playing in the surf and eating sandy picnics on the beach."

Mayfield Lavender Farm, Banstead, England
“I visit the lavender farms in the English countryside every summer. The purple hues stretch far into the distance, and the heavenly scent fills the warm July air. Magical!”
Gosia Piatek, Founder & Creative Director of Kowtow - @kowtowclothing
Mount Maunganui, New Zealand
"New Zealand is my home and it pierces my heart every time I leave. It is so untouched, unspoilt, unpolluted and uncrowded compared to the rest of the world. I am feeling super thankful I can be here with my family during these uncertain times, beach walking, thinking and working remotely."
Chris Floyd, Photographer - @chrisfloyd
Sark, Channel Islands
"Transport on the island is by bike, horse or tractor during daylight hours only – no cars, no traffic lights, no street lights, so no light pollution at all. If you're visiting, take a ferry from Guernsey and stay at the Aval du Creux Hotel. If you go out stargazing till late the chef will tuck a couple of cold beers outside by the bike rack for you to enjoy on your return."
