Dietary, cultural or religious opt-outs never reduce eligibility for the core experience count.
1
Pick a destination the honoree featured. Any route, any budget — the challenge is the experience, not the spend.
2
Visit the place, take the walk, eat and drink what they did — dietary, cultural or religious constraints permitting, with no penalty.
3
Photos, video or a written entry uploaded to Sage. Tagging your own social channels is optional.
4
Editors verify each entry against the experience card. Points are awarded only for verified entries; ties go to the earliest.
Featured destinations
A Sage editorial route through catalog destinations the honoree's travels made famous — a suggestion, not an official list. Featured experiences with points are published after rights and legal review.
Scoring
Featured experiences are added by editors after rights/legal review; none are seeded.

Mayfair's grand dames, the West End, world-class museums that cost nothing, and a dining scene as global as the city.

La Boqueria, the Gothic Quarter and vermouth hour.
Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter and a city beach — Mediterranean living with big-city culture.

Seventeen World Heritage sites, two thousand temples and the ryokan tradition perfected — Japan's cultural heart.

Caldera walks, village bakeries and sunset from the rim.
The caldera sunset from a cliffside suite in Oia — the definitive Greek-island honeymoon.

Bo-Kaap colour, the Winelands and the Cape Point road.
Table Mountain, two oceans and the Winelands on the doorstep — the most beautiful city on the continent.
Stop 6 · United Arab Emirates
