"My recent quick escape to Azerbaijan—a young, vibrant country steeped in rich history—and its cheerful capital city, Baku, was nothing short of rejuvenating. Sometimes I marvel at the world we’ve built as humans: the way we’ve shaped communication and travel into something both efficient and exciting. In just three hours, I went from the summer heat of Dubai to the cool, crisp air of Baku."
