MEA Makes Time Magazine’s 100 Greatest Places
to Visit List
Santa Fe, NM ‒ MEA, the world’s
first midlife wisdom school, has been named to Time Magazine’s 100
Greatest Places to Visit in 2024. To compile the 2024 list, TIME
solicited nominations of places—including hotels, cruises,
restaurants, attractions, museums, parks, and more—from its
international network of correspondents and contributors, as well
as through an application process, with an eye toward those
offering new and exciting experiences. While last year's
list featured 50 cities, this year the publication explores
even more, also including establishments that stand out in their
field, and the world. The result: 100 extraordinary destinations to
visit and stay this year.
From the editors, “Travel industry trends often
reflect the id of humanity: what the
collective we desires most when unburdened from daily
stressors and responsibilities. In 2024, that includes
other-worldly art and design, like at China's Aranya; active
travel, like Natural Selection's Guided Cycling Safari in
Botswana; learning more deeply about the communities and areas
we're traveling to, like at Antarctica's White
Desert, Maui Cultural Lands in Hawaii,
and Kamba in Republic of the Congo; and learning more
deeply about ourselves, like at New Mexico's Modern Elder
Academy.”
The new MEA academy in Santa Fe, which opened in
May, was listed first on the list and was only one of twelve U.S.
lodging establishments on the list. The campus is a 2,600-acre
regenerative horse ranch in the Galisteo Basin, just southeast of
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
“To be named one of the greatest places to visit
so soon after we opened is such a great accolade,” said Chip
Conley, MEA Founder and CEO. “It’s great to see a renowned
publication like Time Magazine recognize the need for
connection and personal growth when they are exploring new places.
We are honored to be a part of this prestigious list.”
From the magazine excerpt describing MEA:
“Personal growth is especially enticing when the habitat is the
dramatic, rich landscape of New Mexico.”
