Seattle, WA

We never tire of learning about the Emerald City — and when you begin looking through some of the city’s historic photos, we have a feeling that you’ll feel similarly. One of our favorites has to be this shot from the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962. Also, be sure to check out the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience’s collection.

Sydney, Australia

If “P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney” has been stuck in your head since Disney’s “Finding Nemo” was released in 2003 — we’re right there with you. In lieu of a 15-hour flight, digitally travel across the globe by viewing Google Arts & Culture’s 3,400 images, 18 collections, and seven stories about the iconic New South Wales city. We especially recommend checking out the Sydney Opera House and the Biennale of Sydney collections.
