Hawaii’s own undeveloped island

Hawaii’s own undeveloped island
Across most of Lanai, Hawaii, “there is barely a swaying palm tree, beach umbrella, sparkling pool, or splash of tropical color” to be seen, said Adam Nagourney in The New York Times. Though the island is being made over by its new billionaire owner, Larry Ellison, it now offers mostly a raw, arid beauty, plus evidence of its long history as a pineapple plantation. Ellison dreams of transforming the island into “a laboratory of sustainability,” with its own multicrop farms, desalination plants, and even a university. Two Four Seasons resorts already offer the chance to experience a luxury Lanai. But you can also rent a Jeep or four-wheeler and head off on the “bone-jarring” dirt roads to find your beaches and bluffs. Some of Lanai’s best snorkeling can be found near the ruins of a temple in the waters below an 80-foot cliff known as Kahekili’s Leap. Off Shipwreck Beach, the waves still beat up against the “rusted hulk of a Navy destroyer.”

Iowa’s ‘Little Denmark’
If only Christian Jensen could see what he started, said Andrea Sachs in The Washington Post. In 1868, the Danish immigrant and his family became the first settlers of Elk Horn, Iowa, a village that’s now the largest rural Danish settlement in the United States. A good half of Elk Horn’s 650 residents claim Danish descent, and they show their pride by flying Danish flags on Main Street and maintaining two heritage museums. One is housed in a 60-foot-tall windmill built in Denmark in 1848 and rescued by town residents in the 1970s. Nearby Kimballton is the other half of “Lille Denmark,” and is home to a sculpture garden featuring characters from Hans Christian Andersen’s stories. For a taste of Scandinavia, stop into Elk Horn’s Danish Inn, where many of the specialties are “brown, meaty, and unpronounceable.” For many Danish tourists, it’s just like home—except that the nearest ocean is half a continent away.

Cycling the Natchez Trace
The Natchez Trace is a much more pleasant corridor to travel than it was 200 years ago, said Melanie Radzicki McManus in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Back when the old Indian trail served as a major trade route for our fledgling nation, heat, swarming insects, and packs of bandits made traveling the Trace so perilous that it was known as the “Devil’s Backbone.” But all 444 miles from Natchez, Miss., to Nashville are now a National Scenic Byway, and my husband and I have only fond memories after pedaling the entire length last fall. Our first day took us past a 35-foot Indian mound and the Trace’s only remaining 18th-century inn, and the next few days rolled by “in a kaleidoscope of vivid colors, sounds, and smells.” Gorgeous as the landscape was, what delighted us most were various “quirky and unexpected” happenings—like being passed by a pack of gleaming Corvettes driven by smiling senior citizens.

A World’s Fair at 50
If you go looking for remnants of the 1964 World’s Fair, bring your imagination, said Beth J. Harpaz in the Associated Press. Intriguing relics of the event still grace Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, N.Y., but visiting the area today is “as much about 21st-century Queens as it is a walk down memory lane.” A half-hour ride from midtown Manhattan on the 7 train brings into view a few World’s Fair icons: a “stupendous” 12-story steel globe, the flying-saucer towers of the long-shuttered New York Pavilion, and two NASA rocket ships that stand in front of the New York Hall of Science. An October reopening is scheduled for that museum’s “otherworldly” Great Hall. Until then, nostalgia seekers might be best advised to enjoy today’s park amenities and let the Fair relics—like the carousel outside the Queens Zoo and the scale model of New York City housed at the Queens Museum—pop up where they may.

Road tripping through Vermont
“Few road trips warm me like a drive through Vermont,” said Joe Crea in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Leaf peepers sing the praises of the state’s autumn foliage, when hillsides turn “calico in Technicolor splendor.” But any season is “a glorious time to visit,” as I was reminded this summer when my wife and I made a freespirited loop through the state’s western half. After wandering around Bennington, a picturesque college town, we drove narrow roads past hypnotizing streams and through lush, green forests as we headed north. “Postcard-perfect, steeple-spiked villages” inspired regular stops, and we dawdled, too, in “more luxe than ever” Stowe and in Montpelier, the “rough-hewn” capital. On our leisurely drive south from Burlington, the well-stocked Vermont Country Store in Weston provided another light diversion. “Every one of us has his or her Vermont. Go there. It’s a beautiful place.”

A shrine to swimming in South Florida
Fort Lauderdale’s International Swimming Hall of Fame offers plenty to dive into, said Robin Soslow in The Washington Post. Entering the wave-shaped building a block from the beach, I expected to see plenty of photos and medals. But for the next couple of hours, “it’s the surprises that anchor me.” Who knew the two-piece bathing suit was invented by a woman who used it while crossing the English Channel in 1926 or that Benjamin Franklin was such an athlete? Screen idols like Johnny Weissmuller enjoy tributes, and there’s even a short film breaking down how Rodney Dangerfield executed a “Triple Lindy” dive in the 1986 comedy Back to School. “Somber subjects get equal time,” though, and the history lessons stretch back centuries. Later, I spot a plaque outside that honors protesters whose 1961 “wade-ins” desegregated Fort Lauderdale’s beaches. The marker “adds to this swimming pantheon’s depths.”

Zip-lining through wine country
“Small town” hardly begins to describe Santa Margarita, Calif., said Jackie Burrell in the Contra Costa Times. But “there’s always been something special” about this sleepy burg, starting with the way wine grapes have flourished here since Spanish missionaries planted the first cuttings in 1787. Perched atop the Cuesta Grade near San Luis Obispo, the town has only one bar and one restaurant open past dark, but the first is an 1858 saloon where Willie Nelson has performed, and the second is an “unbelievably” good steakhouse. Still, “the vines are the thing,” and there are multiple ways to enjoy them. On a vineyard tour, we learned that the bears that roam the area never touch 15 of the 16 varieties grown there. “Bears are wine snobs,” said our guide. “They only eat pinot.” We hit some tasting rooms, too. But that was my reward for surviving the day’s big thrill: soaring over those famous vineyards on an 1,800-foot-long zip line.

An Oregon town’s boozy renaissance
Bend, Ore., has made a remarkable comeback, largely on the back of beer, said Diane Bair and Pamela Wright in The Boston Globe. This city of 80,000, located on the eastern edge of the Cascades, offers gorgeous scenery and abundant outdoor recreation, yet it fell on hard times when the local timber industry shut down. We began a recent visit where the renaissance started: Deschutes Brewery, which since its 1988 founding has spawned 10 other local craft breweries and become a national powerhouse. But “Beer Town USA” isn’t a one-industry locale, having recently been named by Entrepreneur magazine as the most entrepreneurial city in the country. Boutiques and trendy restaurants line downtown streets located just steps from a protected river and 20 minutes from the bike trails and ski slopes of Mount Bachelor. A can-do attitude permeates Bend—“one of the coolest and most eclectic mountain towns in the country.”


Daytona Beach’s easygoing neighbor
About half an hour south of party-friendly Daytona Beach lies “an unspoiled gem as quiet as the morning sunrise over the Atlantic,” said Jim Abbott in the Orlando Sentinel. In Florida’s New Smyrna Beach, the scene is decidedly laid-back. West of the Intracoastal Waterway lies the mainland Canal Street Historic District, an area rich in such nonbeach attractions as galleries, antique shops, and a history museum. Near the beach, on pedestrian-friendly Flagler Avenue, “the diversions range from touristy souvenir shops to homegrown businesses that cater to the whimsical and the practical.” Pick up a rental surfboard before strolling toward the sound of the ocean and the 13 miles of white-sand beach that remain the town’s main draw. To the south, the pristine Canaveral National Seashore is shared by 310 bird species; to the north, a pet-friendly 2-mile boardwalk offers water views in both directions. Best of all, there’s much beach in between.

Thoreau’s storied hometown
Concord, Mass., is rich in history, but it rewards those who approach it the way I imagine Henry David Thoreau did, said Nancy Shohet West in The Boston Globe. Thoreau wrote Walden while living in Concord, of course, and you can swim in Walden Pond or stroll the path around it and visit a replica of his cabin. Which suits me: “When it comes to sightseeing, I am at heart an 8-year-old” who would rather ride my bike, wander the woods,” or eat ice cream on Main Street than seek out exhibits about the Transcendentalists or the first battle of the Revolutionary War. That works here. Tour guides lead bike tours to the historic sites, and you can reach them by river after renting kayaks on Main Street. And even I’m not above being delighted by a chance encounter with a historical artifact—like wandering into the Concord Free Public Library and discovering manuscript pages from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.

What Does It Mean to Dream of Rabbits


Rabbits are cute, friendly and beautiful animals. They are characterized by being intelligent and cunning beings. This is why many people adopt them as pets. If you have a rabbit at home or have recently seen a movie about them, it is normal that from time to time you dream of this mammal.

But what does it mean to dream of rabbits if you are not in contact with these animals? This type of dream is usually something very positive, since it is associated with good luck, prosperity and personal satisfaction. However, your message will also depend on whether the rabbit was white, gray, large, or dead. In any case, in this article you will see in detail the meaning of dreaming about rabbits. This way you will know how you should act from the interpretation of your dream vision.

What does it mean to dream of white rabbits
Dreaming of white rabbits is an excellent sign. The meaning of the color white in psychology has to do with transformation, balance and peace. Consequently, if you dreamed of white rabbits, it means that good news is about to come to your life, or that a project that you were waiting for is going to materialize in your favor. It is also related to new stages of prosperity, a successful business and even the arrival of a pregnancy. On the loving plane, this dream is the symbol of fidelity and dedication. So if white rabbits appeared in your oneirism, rest assured that good things are happening or will happen in your life.

What does it mean to dream of gray rabbits
The color gray in psychology is associated, among other things, with balance and reflection. Therefore, if you dreamed of gray rabbits, it represents the arrival of earnings that you have obtained with your own effort and honestly. It is not only about monetary income, as it can also be the culmination of an academic career, or the positive response to a love proposal. Also, it can represent certain doubts and insecurities to make important decisions. In that case, you must strengthen your character and trust your abilities. On the other hand, if the gray rabbit you saw in your dream was a baby, it means that you are living life excessively and with some irresponsibility. It is necessary that you control this type of behavior, since you can end up involved in some inconvenience that could be avoided. Analyze your performance and correct what is necessary.

What does it mean to dream of big rabbits
Do you want to know what it means to dream of big rabbits? This is a oneirism with a deep meaning, because it is associated with prosperity in the family and economic plane. If you have a business that you have been thinking about to start, it is the best time to start it. Your luck is 100%. In addition, it is possible that some money will arrive that will allow you to carry out that project that you have wanted so much to crystallize. Dreams with large rabbits are synonymous with tranquility and abundance. Don't be afraid to invest in a business. It is good that you rely on people with more experience, who will help you know what you should or not do.

In addition, according to psychoanalysis , the interpretation of dreams also depends on other factors present in the episodes. Therefore, there may be other meanings, such as:

You dreamed that you were feeding a large rabbit - you are a kind person, who loves to help others. However, beware of any betrayal, especially in the workplace.
You dreamed that you were petting a large rabbit - it is a clear indication that you will be very financially successful. Get happy. Your effort will soon pay off.

What does it mean to dream of dead rabbits

What Does It Mean to Dream of Chickens


Dreams play an important role in psychoanalysis, as they serve to interpret the expression of the subconscious. In fact, different experts in psychoanalysis, including Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, indicate that the world of dreams is a space where your memories, feelings and emotions are manifested without anyone judging or intervening.

How normal you dream of things you see every day or other not so common. For example, it is common to dream of chickens, one of the best-known birds that exists.

What does it mean to dream of hens with chickens

It reflects that you are a person dedicated to the care of yours and that you will not hesitate to do what you should for them so that they are well.

Oman, a peaceful Middle Eastern retreat

Oman, a peaceful Middle Eastern retreat
Oman has to be the Middle East’s most laid-back nation, said Vivian Nereim in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The peaceful sultanate, which occupies the eastern corner of the Saudi Peninsula and sits just a boat ride from Iran, has an “easygoing energy” that could calm even the most antsy visitor. “Most Omanis are warm, soft-spoken, and, above all, relaxed.” The followers of three sects of Islam coexist peacefully in this Arab nation, alongside large populations of Hindu, Christian, and Jewish expatriates. In Muscat, the capital, children often play unsupervised in the streets and women in long black robes walk alone at night without fear. I moved to the city last year, and its spirit has “bewitched me—altered me even.” Oman frequently attracts tourists with its spectacular scenery, but it’s the population’s patient, tolerant attitude “that makes the country so special.”

Window shopping at Muscat’s Mutrah Souk

The nation’s natural wonders shouldn’t be ignored. At Oman’s easternmost tip, guides help tourists spot sea turtles laying eggs on a white-sand beach, and I’ve ridden a boat off the Musandam Peninsula to watch dolphins at play. At Wadi Shab, an inland canyon adorned by turquoise pools of water, hikers can enter a sun-dappled cave and swim in the pool below a cascading waterfall. “Few places in the world inspire as much awe.” Closer to Muscat, a waterfall near the mountainside village of Al Hoqain acts as a popular weekend gathering spot for Omani and Indian families, who swim together in the cool water and barbecue on the shores.

If you come to Oman, “take at least one day” just to wander the streets of Muscat. The Mutrah Souk “retains the atmosphere of old Arabia,” its warren of shops peddling frankincense, clothing, and colorful handicrafts. In the quiet Al Hail neighborhood, “you may stumble across a tiny tea shop, a pickup soccer game, or a band of goats.” But “when I think about Oman,” I think about evenings on Muscat’s beaches, when the heat of the day fades and picnicking families, young soccer players, and women in their long robes all are drawn to the glistening water. There, “in the soft darkness and the sound of distant laughter, I find peace.”

A Tijuana you might not want to leave
Believe it or not, there’s “never been a better time” to visit Tijuana, Mexico, said Patrick Symmes in Sunset. The famous border town suffered a wave of violence last decade when it was plunged into the nation’s drug cartel wars, “but the misery years had a surprising effect”: When the tourists fled, local artists and entrepreneurs moved in. I took a walk into Mexico recently to assess the changes (avoiding the hassle of getting a car back through the border crossing). Even on the city’s main tourist drag, I didn’t see the old regulars like U.S. Navy officers on furlough or gaggles of Southern California bachelorettes. What I saw was a new Tijuana emerging.

Tijuana’s Misión 19 restaurant

The scene hadn’t completely changed. Mariachi musicians thronged at one corner looking to be hired, and the strip’s pharmacies “hocked Viagra, Cialis, and dental surgery on demand.” But a reformed police force has taken back control of the streets, the red-light venues were mostly shuttered, and I walked four blocks before I encountered a crowd of revelers—“Mexicans, young and old, dancing salsa in the courtyard of a pizzeria.” Over the next two days and nights, I discovered that hip cocktail lounges and top-notch restaurants were springing up all over the downtown neighborhoods. At the bar La Mezcalera, I sipped top-shelf mescal amid a crowd of young Mexican creative types. At Misión 19, the city’s restaurant of the moment, chef Miguel Ángel Guerrero told me how a young city like Tijuana—which was essentially built on Americans’ Prohibition-era thirst for booze—offered greater freedom for culinary experimentation.

By day, the city shows its confidence in new buildings like the “swooping” $9 million Tijuana Cultural Center and the glassand-steel skyscraper where Misión 19 is housed. Two blocks away, I happened upon a sight one day that gave me even more hope. It was a procession of six men on horses, followed by 21 nuns, followed by thousands of people— children, grandmothers, choirs, bands—all of them marching joyfully and carrying banners calling for peace. “They were taking Tijuana back.”

Living a nomad’s life in Kyrgyzstan
I was in Kyrgyzstan for only a day before I found myself “in the dream world of Central Asian cliché,” said Henry Wismayer in The New York Times. I was sitting crosslegged in a family yurt awaiting a lunch of boiled dumplings while just outside lay a high alpine lake surrounded by prairies and opalescent mountains. “The land felt protean, inviolate, and the hospitality sincere,” yet I had merely followed routine to enjoy such luck. Since 2003, this Nebraska-size former Soviet republic has encouraged backpack tourism by establishing humble community-based tourism, or C.B.T., offices in more than a dozen locations. Everything I needed for my three-day stay here had been arranged in minutes. For $12 a night, “I was enjoying a glimpse of a nomadic culture hewed over centuries on the old Silk Road.”

An alpine lake south of Karakol

“For three days, I threw myself into the old rhythms” of life on the jailoo, or high prairie. “On walks around the lakeshore, I met toddlers on horseback and drank bowls of koumiss, a mildly alcoholic drink of fermented mare’s milk.” I helped children milk goats and corral turkeys, and awoke in the mornings to see the mountains dusted with fresh snow. When I left, riding a minibus east to Karakol, I had to get used to a different rhythm: the occasional bleak, Soviet-style settlement appearing between long stretches of majestic landscape and charmed rural life. Karakol, a former military outpost near the Chinese border, offers flavors of both Kyrgyzstans. Now a hub of adventure tourism, the small city acts as the gateway to “the icebound scarps” of the Tian Shan, also known as the Celestial Mountains.

Ten hours south of Bishkek, the nation’s capital, I found a region barely touched by Soviet shadows. Osh, an erstwhile Silk Road trading post and Kyrgyzstan’s secondlargest city, felt more alive than Bishkek, and made a pleasant pit stop before my final adventure. Four years ago, violence that toppled the president flared up in this region, resulting in more than 400 deaths. But in the peaceful village of Arslanbob, where I stayed three days, “such turmoil seemed remote.” Besides, my mind was focusing again on the surrounding wilderness, “where rumors of waterfalls and holy lakes promised more high adventure.”

Discovering Shangri-La
I’m still not convinced that the original Shangri-La is a place that only exists in fiction, said Scott Wallace in National Geographic Traveler. The 1933 James Hilton novel Lost Horizon described it as a valley in southwest China where enlightenment and longevity reign. But just two years before, my own grandfather had written to The New York Times claiming to have discovered in the same region a “lost tribe” whose members lived in harmony and drank from a fountain of youth. My grandfather disappeared not long after filing that report, so when I decided recently to visit the area that so enthralled him, I figured I had only one chance of finding him still alive: by locating his Shangri-La.

Kawagebo looms above two Tibetan stupas

My itinerary took me “into one of China’s wildest landscapes”—a national park where the Salween, Mekong, and Yangtze rivers “thunder off the Tibetan Plateau” and “cut through mountains as they funnel into gorges twice the depth of the Grand Canyon.” A company named Songtsam has dotted the area with five lodges and provides guides for traveling between them. At the first, “I felt I’d stepped into Hilton’s novel the moment I entered” because the scent of incense filled the air as I was handed a cup of ginger tea. Isolated ancient cultures endured in these mountains well into the 1930s, but time hasn’t since stood still. On the road the next day, we passed old women “stooped under loads of hay,” but many nearby fields were studded with boxy new homes.

If Shangri-La really did exist, the Meili Mountains would be a picture-perfect place to hide it. Waking one morning in the lodge nearby, we looked out on five colossal snow-covered peaks, including Kawagebo, a towering, almost-perfect cone that Tibetan Buddhists consider sacred. The rest of my journey would take me south toward larger towns, so this was my last chance to imagine that the utopia my forebear claimed to have found might lie just a valley away. The road out took us past 13 ceremonial towers, or stupas, and we stopped at one to placate Kawagebo with offerings. As I slid my pine boughs into a ceremonial oven, I said a prayer for my grandfather, hoping he’d found the inner peace he was looking for all those years ago.

St. John, an unspoiled Caribbean gem
One of the world’s great, unspoiled tropical-island escapes lies closer than you think, said Stephanie Pearson in Outside. St. John can be reached only by sea, but the ferry from St. Thomas requires just 20 minutes, and flights from Miami to St. Thomas take less than three hours. After just half a day of travel, I recently found myself unwinding at an oceanfront eco resort amid 7,000 acres of white-sand beaches and pure wilderness. Other Caribbean islands can have their golf courses and megahotels. Two-thirds of St. John is preserved as U.S. national parkland—most of it donated in the 1950s by Laurance Rockefeller. Offshore, coral reefs spread across another 12,700 acres of federally protected underwater land. Together, they add up to a getaway that’s “almost too perfect for snorkelers, divers, kayakers, and beach loungers.”

Trunk Bay, on the island’s north shore

Looking out from my luxury tent at Concordia Eco-Resort, “the view is seemingly endless ocean.” Here on the island’s scarcely populated southern tip, cactus grows on the cliffs, and trails lead to various park highlights. A two-mile hike takes me to Cabrite Horn Point, a great place to spot humpback whales. On a four-mile trek the next day, I pass the ruins of sugar plantations on my way to Salt Pond Bay and its crescent of white sand, where about half a dozen people are sunbathing. Soon, I shed my shoes and snorkel among sea turtles and manta rays.

Some 4,100 people live on St. John, mostly in the town of Cruz Bay, though there’s “a surprisingly lively food scene” in smaller Coral Bay. At some point while paddleboarding with a guide on the island’s northern coast or snorkeling in the “vibrantly turquoise” water of Hurricane Hole, it dawns on me that almost everyone I’m meeting along the way is an expat who caught “St. John fever” and has stuck around for decades. My favorite bartender at the Tourist Trap in Coral Bay is from New Hampshire; my paddleboard guides are from Tennessee. When we end our three-plus-hour adventure at an open-air restaurant in Cruz Bay, I almost envy the “sunburned, windblown” customers around me. “Some of them might just end up sticking around.”

5 best North American skiing: From major resorts to quirky diversions

5 best North American skiing: From major resorts to quirky diversions
1. Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia

A ski school at Whistler

Though it’s enormous and known by skiers the world over, Whistler Blackcomb somehow still feels “intensely spiritual,” said Susan Reifer in Ski magazine. The resort’s two main mountains are surrounded by glaciers and “alpine lakes so vivid they look like something from a dream.” By many measures, Whistler is North America’s largest mountain resort, sprawling over 8,171 snow-covered acres. Whistler Village meets the demands of its diverse visitors with spas, restaurants, and hotels that appeal to “yogic meditators and hedonists alike.” Of course, the slopes are the main draw here, and some of the best snow is found away from the most wellcarved runs. Somehow, developing a familiarity with the terrain here “transforms a person—even one who is not naturally gifted—into the most capable of skiers.”

2. Banff National Park, Alberta
A trio of resorts in Alberta offers a pleasingly laid-back take on Canadian skiing, said Christopher Reynolds in the Los Angeles Times. Unlike the far livelier scene 10 hours west at Whistler, the resorts Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Norquay offer stellar slope experiences without the bustle. Stunning peaks line the horizon in Banff National Park, where the three resorts feature a combined 8,000 skiable acres. About 4,200 of these are at  Lake Louise Ski Resort. While making your way up the Glacier Express chairlift to one of the more than 145 runs there, you can take in a view of the valley and spot skaters on Lake Louise, a partially frozen lake sitting under a glacier. An après-ski scene in the town of Banff provides a chance to warm up, as do nearby hot springs.

3. Silverton Mountain, Colorado
The old-school, roughing-it conditions at Silverton keep “the soul of skiing” alive, said Christopher Steiner in Forbes.com. At 13,487 feet, Silverton Mountain is North America’s tallest ski peak and has no cut trails. A retired school bus pushed up against the snowpack serves as the mountain’s rental shop, and the base lodge consists of little more than a large pole tent with a wood-burning stove. Yet a range of skiers from “ski bum bros” to hedge fund managers takes advantage of the 1,819 acres of skiable terrain accessible by a single chairlift. Skiers also use the resort’s helicopter access to 22,000 more acres of raw slopes. The base lodge offers beer on tap, but more drinking options—as well as modern dining and lodging—are available only six miles away in the historic mining town of Silverton.

4. Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Boarding in Jackson Hole

Jackson Hole is a resort that attracts hardcore skiers who want to “challenge and scare themselves,” said Dina Mishev in The Washington Post. It continues to offer some of the stiffest tests a skier can find in America, but the resort is also evolving to expand its appeal. New lifts added over the years have made some intermediate terrain more accessible, while existing trails have been improved and widened. Visitors may bump into celebrities in Teton Village, but the real thrills are on the 116 named ski trails and “a 3,000-acre experts-only playground of unpatrolled, ungroomed, uncontrolled terrain.” For advanced skiers, nothing matches the bowls, glades, and chutes of Rendezvous Mountain. On Rendezvous’s steep side-country couloirs, “falling is not an option.”

5. Marquette, Michigan

Riding a fat bike in Marquette

Many winter enthusiasts in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula enjoy snow without skis, thanks to “fat bikes,” said Melanie D.G. Kaplan in The Washington Post. “A cousin of the mountain bike,” a fat bike has tires about twice as wide as its relative, and with about one-third the air pressure. “The ride is steady and slow,” but the special gear allows for better control on snow. “Beginners and experts alike can’t help but wear a grin” when fat biking, and the fad has spread from its birthplace in Alaska all across the country. Marquette recently expanded its Noquemanon Trail Network, a hot spot for cross-country skiing, to include a 15-mile snow-bike trail that’s considered one of the best in the country. Not that you don’t have other options: “If you’re headed somewhere snowy this winter, chances are you’ll find fat-bike rentals.”

Berlin, 25 years after the Wall
A quarter century of freedom has done a number on the Berlin I once knew, said Zofia Smardz in The Washington Post. Back in the 1980s, West Berlin was “an island of freedom in a communist sea” and East Berlin “a forbidding fortress of a place, gray and lifeless.” But then the Wall that seemed as if it would last forever came tumbling down, the Cold War standoff between the Soviet Union and the West ended, and the “chic and fashionable” Berlin I loved busted loose. With the 25th anniversary of the Wall’s fall approaching, I decided to go back, landing in a Berlin that’s vigorously erasing its old dividing lines. Today, “it’s all one big, sprawling city—open and free and exhilarating.”

Actors at a replica of the original Checkpoint Charlie

Of course, remnants of the Wall remain. What I find at Checkpoint Charlie shocks me: Near a replica of the guard booth where American MPs once checked the papers of people hoping to pass between West and East, tourists flood souvenir shops while actors in military garb pose for photos at $3 a shot. Boisterous street signs advertise curry sausage shops, while a couple of tiny, neon-painted cars drive by, honking. An “air of revelry” enlivens this display of “capitalism with a capital C”—and “I love it.” A Wall memorial on Bernauer Strasse offers a more sobering experience, though I spot some girls doing cartwheels nearby as I walk along a row of metal rods indicating the Wall’s route.

The spirit of giddy renewal feels especially strong in the Mitte district, “the formerly forlorn heart of Berlin.” Deluxe hotels and other towers are rising, and a “glitzy” restaurant now sits on the roof of the Reichstag, the 19th-century parliamentary building that sat largely abandoned throughout the Cold War. After dinner there, my husband and I stroll the spiraling walkway inside the building’s large glass dome and admire the Brandenburg Gate below. Berliners can now casually wander through the gate, but I’m sure the young international crowd I see rarely ponders how amazing that is. “That whole East-West thing? So 25 years ago.”

Wandering storybook Dubrovnik
The Croatian city of Dubrovnik “excels at playing versions of itself,” said Davin O’Dwyer in The Washington Post. Located on a “spectacular” stretch of the Dalmatian coast, the so-called Pearl of the Adriatic has been so fastidiously repaired since the bombardment it suffered during the 1990s’ Croatian War of Independence that you’d need a guide to spot the damage. Recently, Dubrovnik’s walled Old City has gained millions of new admirers by filling a featured role in the hit HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones. “A perfect real-world substitute” for the capital of Westeros, the latemedieval city core is “a town-size living museum”—and a true architectural marvel.

The Stradun at night

The Old City’s main thoroughfare, the Stradun, struck me as “one of the most perfectly proportioned streets I’ve ever walked along.” The wall’s main gates lie at either end, and the gates’ adjoining bell towers “act as visual exclamation points book-ending the gleaming stone pavement and the cream-colored buildings in between.” Narrow lanes branch off that central spine, leading up or down flights of stairs that “keep framing the city in stunning vertical shafts”—creating postcard views of a cathedral’s dome, say, or of stacked terra-cotta rooftops. Even so, the Old City’s “most breathtaking attraction” has to be the mile-and-a-quarter-long walkway atop the wall that rings it. “The finest view of all” came where the wall meets the Minceta tower and “the collage” of bell towers and red rooftops was set against the sea beyond.

The revival of the Old City and its global embrace have pushed out many longtime residents, and that thought was playing on my mind when I returned to the Stradun on my last day. At Orlando’s Column, a monument to a Norman knight, a large group of men dressed like medieval guards surrounded a chained prisoner who seemed to have been badly beaten. But then a director yelled, “Cut!” and I was struck by the notion that Dubrovnik is particularly good at offering the illusion that past and present, reality and fiction, can coexist in one place. “It’s an illusion, in truth, that I didn’t want to end.”

A Cuban town barely touched by the 20th century
Trinidad, Cuba, is a place that time has “blessedly” passed by, said Linda Mack in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. A frequent stop on guided tours of the island nation, this town of 60,000 was built on sugar money and slave labor, but more than 1,000 of its colonial-era buildings remain intact, and its historic center feels “far from fossilized.” Walking its ankletwisting cobblestone streets recently, I was surrounded by one-story 18th- and 19th-century houses occupied by multigenerational families and spilling with life. “Doorways opened to restaurants and bars and the music that is everywhere in Cuba.” Loosened restrictions on U.S. travel to communist Cuba have slightly increased the presence of American tourists in Trinidad, but it remains a world apart. On its narrow streets, automobiles are outnumbered by horse-drawn carts.

An 1813 church tower overlooks historic Trinidad

Our group arrived shortly before sunset one day, after a long bus ride through mostly unpopulated countryside. Trinidad is set back from the sea against the Escambray Mountains, and we enjoyed mojitos on the terrace of our state-run resort before descending the dark cobblestone street into town. At Casa de la Música, one of three venues that offer music nightly, we joined locals spread among open-air bistro tables to listen to salsa and watch a fire-eater. Some of the town’s old villas, we later discovered house the private restaurants called paladares, which have become Cuba’s hottest attraction. A highlight of our stay was a dinner at Sol Ananda Paladar, a restored 1750s villa where chandeliers of varying styles hang from wood beams and a bongo-playing female singer and her three-guitar band played a great set while we ate.

Fourteen thousand slaves once worked in the region outside town known as the Valley of the Sugar Mills, but their owners lived luxuriously in town. Many of their villas are now museums, including one focused on archaeology and another on the decorative arts. The Municipal History Museum is “even more sumptuous.” Its many rooms enclose a large courtyard, and a three-story tower offers panoramic views across the city’s roofs toward the distant ocean and the nearby mountains.

Kerala, India—‘God’s Own Country’
In most any other corner of the world, local inhabitants couldn’t invoke a slogan like the one above without sounding “unbearably self-satisfied,” said Davin O’Dwyer in The Washington Post. But Kerala, the state that hugs the southwest coast of the Indian peninsula, is beautiful enough to wear the label comfortably, especially given the variety of religious communities that share and embrace the land. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and even some Jains peacefully coexist here, as is apparent in “the busy juxtaposition of towers, minarets, and spires that sit cheek by jowl in every city, town, and village.” Though each vista offers a new variation on lush green, the landscape of Kerala is otherwise “as diverse as its people”—encompassing stunning beaches, a lacework of backwater canals, and the “glorious” hillside tea plantations of the Western Ghats.

Canoeists glide up a scenic canal

After a short stay in Fort Kochi, a quaint heritage city, my girlfriend and I journeyed to Eravikulam National Park to soak in an unrivaled view of the state’s rolling western countryside. Anaimudi mountain, a forbidding peak whose name means “Elephant Head,” loomed to one side as we looked out on the tea plantations arrayed below us. Near the hill-station town of Munnar, the tea bushes “cling to the hills like a soft emerald carpet,” while paths created for the pickers cut patterned grooves—“as if some god-like cartographer had inked contour lines on the mountain slopes.”

We took an overnight cruise along the Malabar Coast before enjoying “one of the quintessential Kerala experiences”—a slow voyage in a kettuvallam, or thatched houseboat, through the canals and rivers that crosshatch a vast expanse of emerald-green rice paddies. Pretty cottages and churches often lined the way, and children at play stopped their games to wave to us. Once, when we paused for lunch, we watched a duck herder in a canoe using a long stick to expertly chaperone hundreds of waterfowl toward the riverbank. The entire excursion was so serene that it wove “a kind of meditative spell, like a deep-tissue massage for the soul.”

30 WEIRD AND WONDERFUL NATURAL PHENOMENA FROM AROUND THE WORLD


A Nobel laureate’s ‘fictional’ city

A Nobel laureate’s ‘fictional’ city
For a long time, I believed that the city of Mompós was only a myth, said Nicholas Gill in The New York Times. “Mompós doesn’t exist,” Gabriel García Márquez wrote in his 1989 novel The General in His Labyrinth. “We sometimes dream about her, but she doesn’t exist.” I trusted the truth of those lines until 2008, when an acquaintance opened a boutique hotel in García Márquez’s fictional Colombian city. Mompós, or Santa Cruz de Mompox, as the municipality is officially known, is home to 30,000 people. Set in a river valley that’s rich in history and “ripe with romanticism,” it’s also a “perfectly preserved” colonial city.

A Palm Sunday parade in downtown Mompós

Getting to Mompós isn’t easy. In Cartagena, I had to catch a 4:30 a.m. seat on a Toto Express pickup truck that plowed inland for seven hours before we reached a ferry on the Magdalena River. The Magdalena explains both Mompós’s rise and its decline: It once facilitated a booming trade in tobacco, slaves, and precious metals, but it silted up in the early 19th century, and currents shifted. Property prices are rising on hopes that Mompós is about to be rediscovered, but mule carts still outnumber cars, and visitors frequently number in the single digits. During the day, intense heat sets a “drowsy rhythm.”

Just past dawn, I watched students walking to school and men in straw hats unloading pineapples from dugout canoes. But the city goes quiet until dark, when locals head to cafés and booths in central plazas and bats swoop down into the streets. I hired a boat on my last day in Mompós to explore its surroundings. “We cut through streams and wetlands, where herons flew over fields of yucca and howler monkeys slept in the trees.” The boatman pointed to high-water marks set by a 2010 flood that lasted seven months before locals brought in the Cristo Negro, a black Christ figure from a Bogotá church, and the floodwaters receded. The story sounded like a tale out of a García Márquez novel, but in a town as “preposterously fantastic” as Mompós, the miracle “just might not be fiction.”

The snowiest ski resort in the world
Niseko, Japan, “has quietly become the stuff of legend among the skiing cognoscenti,” said Eric Hansen in Outside. Located a 90-minute flight from Tokyo, the town on the nation’s northernmost island gets more snow each January than any other ski area in the world, and that snow is generally as dry as the finest powder found anywhere in North America. Australian skiers discovered Niseko after 9/11, when getting to Whistler in British Columbia suddenly became a challenge. Their support has kept the area in business while nearby Japanese slopes were failing, but Niseko still combines “movie-quality powder” with the laid-back vibe of a locals’ hill. Of the 48 feet of snow that fall on the town in an average year, 15 feet arrive in January. “Finding fresh powder is almost never a problem.”

A single-chair lift at Annupuri Mountain

My guide tells me I’m lucky when my first day of backcountry skiing is greeted by a bright sun and bluebird sky. I am, but I’m happier still when Niseko is once again “thoroughly snow-fogged,” as it can be day after day for weeks at a time. I spend most of my off-slope time touring Niseko Village, one of four base areas, then ski powder at night under the “impressive constellation of lights” of neighboring Hirafu. Natural hot springs called onsen bubble up everywhere, and I make a point of soaking my weary body at Goshiki, a “legendary” onsen—half indoor and half out—that sits at the end of one backcountry run.

Feathery snow is falling heavily as I part ways with the members of a snowboarding club I’ve enjoyed most of another day with. They were curious to hear about what it’s like to ski Whistler, but took for granted the blizzard then enveloping smaller Niseko. For a while longer, I ski alone, “poofing through fluff and leaping off pillow drops” while the flakes keep coming. “‘Aoooooooo!’ I howl, bringing my skis to a hissing stop after another half-dozen untracked runs.” I’m completely alone, and I’m beginning to believe that Niseko might just be the best ski resort in the world.

Driving North America’s most isolated road
The Trans-Labrador Highway might be “the loneliest road in the world,” said Josh Eells in Men’s Journal. A half-paved, 706-mile road that cuts across Labrador in northeast Canada, it passes through a vast wilderness so sparsely populated that a road tripper will often see no one else during a full day of driving. Built in the early 1980s to spark a commercial boom that never arrived, the two-way highway today remains “one of the last places in North America where it’s possible to be truly alone.” What’s more, the land itself is often dazzling. “In just a few days of driving, you can go from ancient woodlands to permafrost taiga to icy Atlantic fjords.”

Only about half the highway is paved

A three-plus-hour flight from Montreal deposited me in tiny Labrador City, and soon my rental car and I were off. The land just to the east was “like an alpine valley, with shag-carpet grasslands, thickets of evergreens, and lakes the color of Darjeeling tea.” The packed-gravel road challenged my small SUV, but I made it to Churchill Falls in time to settle in for the night. By the third day, I so craved social interaction that I vowed to stop and talk to every person I passed. I talked to a Subaru driver at 9 a.m. and never saw anyone again. At one point, I stopped in front of a fox that stood in the middle of the road. He stared at me, disappeared, then popped up to my left. “He was playing with me,” so I got out until he got bored and trotted away.

Labrador’s Atlantic coastline is composed of some of the oldest known rock in the world, carved by a glacier 800 million years ago. My last day was spent pressing southward along the windswept shoreline, and it struck me that I could stop almost anywhere and walk to a patch of land no other human had ever touched. At the end of the road, the “mist-shrouded” town of Blanc-Sablon, I feasted on fresh cod and crab and considered the news that paving of the Trans-Labrador has begun again. If you hope to follow my tracks, “now may be your last best chance.”

Soaking up San Juan’s hipster phase
San Juan is beginning to percolate, said David Amsden in Condé Nast Traveler. Not long ago, Puerto Rico’s capital was the kind of vacation destination where “you put up with mediocre food and ignore the local culture in exchange for a lounge chair facing the ocean.” But in part because steep tax breaks for investment income are bringing in wealthy young Americans from the mainland, neighborhoods that once were best avoided now welcome after-dark exploration. In short, the city might well remind you of Brooklyn circa 1999—“scrappy but sophisticated,” briefly occupying “that sweet transitional spot” where it is “still possible to feel part of a secret, part of something new and indisputably thrilling.”

Hunting for adventure in Condado

I had only been in San Juan a few hours recently when I happened upon my first happy surprise. Jose Enrique is one of the city’s most celebrated young chefs, but the easiest way to find his eponymous restaurant on a mostly deserted street in the Santurce district is simply to look for the attractive young people gathered outside, waiting for tables with cocktails in hand. The group I dined with on stools at the bar “soon felt like old friends.” Not far away, on Calle Loíza, I passed a “whiskey pizzeria” and a small-plates restaurant operating out of a bright-yellow shipping container, and every venue was “teeming with people.” One formerly vacant lot was hosting outdoor film screenings.

Neighborhood after neighborhood seemed to be undergoing a similar transition. Puerta de Tierra, once a high-crime area, has emerged as the city’s first art and design district. The old auto-repair zone, Tras Talleres, now feels like “the street-art capital of the Caribbean, with intricate graffiti covering every other building.” One sunny day after a particularly long night of hot-spot-hopping, a friend took me to an old-school restaurant for a lunch of fried steak and plantains. Once again, “I could have been in Brooklyn, with one notable exception: Less than a mile away I was able to find a nearly empty stretch of beach, where, in the shade of a palm tree, I happily passed out.”

Exploring a German town built by violins
It was in the pretty village of Mittenwald, Germany, that I learned that my oldest companion was a fraud, said Emma John in Afar. The Alpine town of 7,000 “couldn’t have been more inviting” or its residents more knowledgeable about the subject that had brought me there: the provenance of the ancient violin I had been playing since I was 12. Mittenwald is a very musical place: “Violins were everywhere” as I made my first stroll through town. They adorned shop signs, menus, even bottles at the liquor store. But when a master luthier peered inside my violin, he was unimpressed that the label inside said “1732” and bore the name “Mathias Klotz”—the craftsman whose handiwork had turned Mittenwald into a capital of violin-making. “This is not a Mathias Klotz,” he said. And I was crushed.

Outside Mittenwald’s violin museum

Mittenwald’s varied charms helped soothe my disappointment. The town’s main  thoroughfare, the Obermarkt, is a pedestrian avenue lined with 17th- and 18th-century houses and decorated with murals depicting Bible scenes and the renowned medieval market once based there. The pinktowered town church is lavishly decorated with trompe l’oeil paintings, and though I never adapted to the almost vegetable-free local diet, I “invested a lot of time in the town’s secondary industry: bakeries.” I even found a banjo player and a violinist to play with in the evenings, and on their recommendation, I hiked one day to the Lautersee, a mountain lake where tiny flowers stud the banks with subtle color.

Eventually, I felt I had no choice but to visit the town’s violin-making museum, which held a Mathias Klotz violin that looked so unlike my own instrument that viewing it was “like staring into a stranger’s face.” But the museum’s curator had asked me to bring in my impostor, and when an expert she called in told me that my violin had indeed been made in the 18th century, “a rush of relief flooded me.” The expert wasn’t done, either. The label, he said, was authentic—produced by Klotz and granted to a contemporary luthier who was imitating him. My violin’s label turned out to be the true marvel—one of only seven in the world.

Sailing and diving in timeless Indonesia

Sailing and diving in timeless Indonesia
Raja Ampat is “one of the most physically ravishing places I’ve ever encountered,” said Maria Shollenbarger in Condé Nast Traveler. A chain of 600 islands “strung like rough-cut emeralds” across the tropical waters of eastern Indonesia, the archipelago that once was the sole home of the bird of paradise still teems with life and remains largely untouched by human habitation. Once battled over by the Dutch and English when the two maritime powers sought to dominate the 18th-century spice trade, Raja Ampat has, in more recent times, “become a destination for divers, nature enthusiasts, and escapees from modern life.” If Raja Ampat “sometimes feels like the setting for Jurassic Park, below it’s pure Finding Nemo.” Sperm whales, giant turtles, and “every colorful, delightful, and freakish coral-dwelling fish you can imagine” share the same subsurface neighborhood.

Guests lounging on the Alila Purnama’s deck

One of the few ways to enjoy this Eden is by booking a cabin on a chartered luxury craft, as I have. Aboard the gorgeous Alila Purnama, a traditional phinisi wooden sailing boat, my six fellow travelers and I quickly become friends as we share daily adventures and meals on deck. Being outnumbered by an attentive crew, “we want for little”: “Glasses are never allowed to empty, wet towels disappear, and warm dry ones are quietly draped over shoulders.”

The moment we start thinking about what the chef might be making for dinner, appetizers reliably arrive. One morning, we awake near a reef where massive manta rays swoop by the dozen beneath us before we put aside our diving masks and slip away to a “tiny, castaway-perfect island.” Sometime during our lunch, the crew sets up a line of daybeds under umbrellas, and we watch the sunset from that beach before moving on.

For our last dinner, the crew surprises us by pulling at twilight into a hushed cove where a table set with linen and silver awaits amid dozens of lanterns. Filet mignon, Balinese stuffed duck, and skewers of fish are prepared nearby in a makeshift barbecue pit. “We eat and drink barefoot in the sand to a gentle soundtrack of waves lapping the beach a few feet away.”

A reawakening Cape Town
South Africa’s so-called Mother City “bursts at the seams with excitement for its future,” said Stephanie Allmon in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Twenty years after the end of apartheid, this beautiful port is the 2014 World Design Capital, and that’s giving it a chance to show off its new energy and affirm its standing as a leading global city. The New York Times recently named it the world’s No. 1 place to visit this year, and I can’t disagree. Plan a culinary tour of Cape Town and the nearby wine region, and you will collect memories to last a lifetime.

The multihued homes of Cape Malay Quarter

The sun woke me early on my first morning in the city, rising high enough by 5 a.m. to “peel back the curtain of night and reveal the majesty of Table Mountain.” The flat-topped mountain looms over the city; when Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on nearby Robben Island, he looked back upon it imagining it a beacon of hope. I set out that first day to the Old Biscuit Mill, a village-like collection of cafés, shops, and restaurants in Woodstock, a neighborhood that’s undergoing a renaissance. By 11, I’d sampled buffalo mozzarella, a pastry called the Flying Dutchman, and a tuna jerky, but we pushed on for more noshing in the Bo-Kaap, or Cape Malay Quarter. Brightly colored homes and cobblestone streets make this district a popular choice for photo shoots, while the food—like sumptuous lamb curry and samosas—reflects the district’s Muslim heritage.

“Entire vacations can be spent in wine country,” stringing together stays in boutique hotels in the region’s charming small towns. The Cape Winelands are so beautiful that even  teetotalers should see them. But my luxurious hotel, the One&Only, kept calling me back to Cape Town, and on my last night, I indulged in the child-like fun of riding the Ferris wheel on the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. From the ride’s highest point, I looked back at Table Mountain as clouds hovering above it began spilling down its sides, creating an effect locals call a “white tablecloth.” The sight “made my last sunset in this exotic and storied city as memorable as the first sunrise.”

Exploring remote Haiti’s natural wonders
If only visitors to Haiti could get to the waterfalls at Cascade Pichon, said Dean Nelson in The New York Times. Dubbed one of the country’s greatest tourist attractions by former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, the stunning falls are fed by an underground lake and burst from a verdant mountain face “like so many faucets stuck in the open position.” But Duvalier probably reached the site by helicopter, because even four decades later, the land journey from Port-au-Prince remains a “tire-shredding, neck-snapping” seven-hour drive across gravel, flood plain, and dry riverbed. That said, you won’t regret the detour if you take it.

The falls at Cascade Pichon

I discovered the falls while reporting on community rebuilding projects in Haiti. Four years after a devastating earthquake, the nation is still recovering from the devastation and subsequent cholera outbreak. But you can see why some officials want to start positioning the country as an eco-tourism destination. Two hours from Cascade Pichon, which is tucked into the southeast corner of the island nation, the small coastal city of Belle Anse makes a promising jumping-off point. The town of 51,000 is full of young, educated, and energetic people, and yet it “embodies the contradictions you find in Haiti. The natural beauty of the beaches stops you dead in your tracks. So does the poverty.”

The final climb to Cascade Pichon looked impassable for our SUV, but we “fishtailed and swerved and hopped our way to the top,” blasting past a soccer field and a small church on the way. The falls and the lake below were so spectacular that I didn’t need much from the only lodging nearby—the one-story Hotel Deruisseau, located on a mesa across from the cascading water. Meals were served about 50 feet from the building in a community gathering area under a metal roof. The hotel had no hot water or private showers, and offered no electricity after 10 p.m. But none of that mattered. “As I lay in bed, all I could hear was the falls—the greatest white noise ever.”

One night inside a mammoth Vietnam cave
Under the mountains of central Vietnam lies a vast hidden world, said David W. Lloyd in The New York Times. A series of “mind-blowing” caves—some used as shelter from U.S. airstrikes during the Vietnam War—dots Quang Binh province. But the largest have been so recently explored that you can still meet their discoverers. When I traveled to the village of Phong Nha recently, I stayed at a guesthouse owned by a local hero who, in 1990, stumbled upon arguably the world’s largest cave. I was planning to instead visit Hang En—a cave whose main cavern is big enough to house a 747—when I had dinner with the English scientist whose team first explored it. Visiting Hang En, he told me, is “one of the best, most amazing things it’s possible to do in Vietnam.”

Sunlight warms a swimmer in Hang En cave

He wasn’t kidding. Our group was dripping with sweat the next morning by the time we reached the valley floor in the nearby national park. But the rest was bliss. As we followed the Rao Thuong River, “swarms of butterflies wove a dance in front of us,” and “magnificent” lime-green hills rose on either side. The shallow river flowed right into the cave, and we waded in darkness through the cool water before encountering a wall of boulders. At the wall’s summit, “we were stopped dead in our tracks by the view before us”—a cavern 300 feet high, with a natural turquoise pool far below us and beams of sunlight pouring in from above. It was here we’d camp for the night, in tents pitched on the pool’s sandy beach. After a refreshing swim, we drank rice wine and enjoyed dinner cooked by our porters over an open fire.

By the next evening, we were back in Phong Nha, chatting over dinner at a roadside joint with a sign that read, “The Best BBQ Pork Shop in the World…Probably.” We all knew that Son Doong, the region’s largest cave, is visited by a small number of tourists each year. But everyone agreed that Hang En was everything he or she had hoped it would be, and that the pork we were eating was only the world’s second best: It couldn’t top the dinner we had had the night before.

The Mediterranean’s best-kept secret
Chances are, you’ve never heard of Cavallo, said Peter Hughes in the Sunday Telegraph (U.K.). That’s because the tiny Mediterranean island, which is tucked between Corsica and Sardinia, has long been a closely guarded secret, its quiet charms shared by only an upper echelon of the international elite. “From a distance, it doesn’t look like much”—just “a low green mound” one and a half miles across. But in the 1970s, it became a private playground for celebrities like Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni, and it’s recently served similar duty for Beyoncé and possibly Alicia Keys. The island belongs to a syndicate of private owners who are mostly Italian and, though it’s technically part of France, feels Italian in its culture, too. It was long easier to reach from Rome than Paris.

Waves lap against Cavallo’s rocky coast

Approaching by ferry, you see the granite outcroppings that put Cavallo on the map. The island “is a glory of stone”—a collection of elephantine gray and tan boulders left behind by the Romans who harvested the island’s granite for their statuary. The surrounding sea is “lens-clear, great for snorkeling,” though such sports are pursued discreetly. Cavallo’s 10 sand beaches are mostly wild, and it’s the kind of place “where luxury is defined as having not much to do, but costing a lot to do it.” Because you’re not allowed to have a car, “you bump around in electric golf carts.” The island has only one store, plus a café, a yacht marina, and—in July and August —a hilltop pizzeria that becomes the local hot spot.

Cavallo has one hotel plus some private residences for rent, but I can’t imagine it becoming a major tourist destination anytime soon. In 1990, Corsican nationalists who feared its despoilment firebombed some new villas, and last year, all new construction was banned. Additional laws have been put in place to protect island wildlife, including a rare orchid, and “it’s not just the orchids that are being preserved, but a patch of the Mediterranean as it was a generation ago.”

Swimming with sharks in Australia

Swimming with sharks in Australia
As I climb into the steel cage, “my breath quickens,” said Carrie Miller in National Geographic Traveler. I am out on the ocean off South Australia, and a 17-foot-long great white shark is circling. I want to get in the water with her, of course; doing so was the whole purpose of my booking a four-day excursion with Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions. But while I’ve seen sharks in my dreams since childhood, I’ve never done anything like this. I’m not even a diver; I’m simply a fan of these “dragons” of the deep: “To me, sharks are everything that is wild, untamed, and unpredictable about the world.” I yearn to see one eye to eye.

A great white eyes thrill seekers in the Princess II’s cage

Moments later, I am 7 feet underwater, and the shark is nowhere in sight. I hear only my own breathing as I draw air from a regulator attached to the Princess II. “Then the back of my neck begins to prickle,” and “I slowly turn.” Six inches from my stomach looms the nose of a 1.5-ton great white. I shoot backward to the other side of the cage as she drops a fin and banks away. I’m on my knees trembling by the time she circles back. This time, “our eyes meet, and I feel a thrill of awe and terror.” Her eye “is not the dead matte black from the movies but brown, with a lively blue ring around the outside.”

Should tourists be experiencing such thrills? The practices of research boats like Rodney Fox’s are “a particularly touchy subject” in Port Lincoln, the excursion’s departure point and a city greatly enriched by the lucrative bluefin tuna industry. Many locals know at least one person killed by a shark. They worry that research boats that use ground-up fish as bait get sharks accustomed to approaching boats, increasing hazards for both species. But the research helps scientists fend off threats to the sharks and to the critical role they play as the ocean’s alpha predators. “Life would be pale indeed without our dragons.”

A brief sabbatical in Oxford, England
Oxford, England, has inspired countless novels and films, and “it’s easy to see why,” said Jennifer Moses in The New York Times. The home of the University of Oxford is a “ridiculously pretty” town, a “many-layered confection of history, aspiration, ambition, class, elegance, yearning, wealth, trade, and all things poetic.” While my husband spent a sabbatical there last fall, I took the opportunity to explore—renting a sturdy three-speed bicycle to get around and learning not to be slowed by a little rain. “A note for those inclined to fashionable footwear: Don’t even think about it.” Oxford is for Wellies and lots of walking—“through the winding streets, over cobblestones, up battlements, and along all kinds of footpaths.”

A canal boat on the Thames near Iffley

“Perhaps the best way to get a handle on the whole megillah is atop the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin right smack in the middle of the action, at Radcliffe Square.” From the 14th-century spire, “you can take it all in: the town’s location in the Thames Valley, the silky river itself, the gardens and meadows, the canals,” and, “of course,” the 38 colleges that compose the university. Founded around 900, Oxford was a trading hub in medieval times, a crossroads in central-south England located about 60 miles northwest of London. To try to imagine what Oxford looked like then, I pedaled to the district known as Iffley Village, where a 12th-century church proved to be “the kind of place that stuns you into reverent silence,” and the “typically English mix of thatched-roof and halftimbered houses” shares space with fields, geese, and centuries-old stone walls.

I liked Cowley for its ethnic restaurants and Osney for its pretty Victorian-era workers’ cottages. Still, nothing beat “the glories of Oxford central.” From the wide-ranging collection at the Ashmolean Museum to the intoxicating Botanic Garden, this city barely left me any time for its pubs. But I did find time on my last day to romp around Christ Church Meadow. Cows grazed to my right while bicyclists passed on my left, “and on the tantalizing far side of the walls, the college, with its spires, towers, gates, and cathedral, glowed in the pale afternoon light.”

Dominica’s wild allure
At least one island in the Caribbean has so far escaped large-scale development, said Eric Vohr in The Dallas Morning News. “Still savagely wild and naturally beautiful,” Dominica might owe its luck to a relative shortage of white sand beaches, but the tiny island nation’s raging rivers, volcanic fissures, lush rain forest, and steep mountains make it “an eco-tourism paradise.” It’s no wonder why Dominica (pronounced dahm-uh-NEE-ka) is known as the Nature Island. There are “almost too many natural wonders” on this island to list them all.

Volcanic steam rises from the Valley of Desolation

A day’s hike through Morne Trois Pitons National Park rates as a must. Our party chose aptly named Boiling Lake as our destination, and the three-hour trek across numerous steep ridges and deep valleys took us into a landscape where the ground itself felt young. In the Valley of Desolation, “superheated steam hisses and sputters through multicolored pools of oxidized sulfur, iron, copper, lead, calcium, and carbon.” In truth, “nowhere else have I been so close to the earth’s fiery fury. There are no fences, barriers, or park rangers here, just raw nature.” Boiling Lake, a 200-foot-wide flooded fumarole, proved to be as impressive as we’d hoped, its waters violently rolling and bubbling at temperatures, we were told, that reach 300 degrees. More temperate waters soothed our tired muscles on the return hike when we stopped to swim in a warm pool of one of Dominica’s many hot-spring-fed rivers.

The beaches we did find on Dominica offered more than we could have asked for. Portsmouth Bay is the largest, and just north of it lies Toucari Bay, “a pristine and secluded picture-postcard cove that will make you pinch yourself.” The coral reef offshore is so impressive that it’s due to become a protected marine park. In the waters off rocky Champagne Beach, underwater fumaroles produce towers of rising bubbles that sparkle in the sunlight like Dom Pérignon fizz in a crystal flute. If that’s not enough to get you to Dominica, know that a piña colada is never far out of reach. Trust me, though: “They taste better here.”

Roughing it in Chilean Patagonia
You can never predict what the rewards will be when you set off on a long mountain trek, said Erin Williams in The Washington Post. The peaks of South America had been calling to my husband and me long before we reached them. “Wild areas are our escape,” and when we’re not dreaming of our next distant adventure, we’re using our weekends to train for them. For our trip to Patagonia, we had our imaginations trained on the Torres del Paine, three towering mountain peaks in southern Chile that are “arguably Patagonia’s most iconic sight.” On a clear day, they “scrape the sky hundreds of feet above a snowfield and a meltwater lake.”

A backpacker in Torres del Paine National Park

The bus ride to the trailhead offered instant rewards. Throughout our two-hour drive through national parkland, I pressed my face against the bus window, “mesmerized by the sprawling landscape and the surprising abundance of wildlife: guanacos that resembled petite llamas,  massive Andean condors, incongruous flamingos, and ostrich-like rheas.” A catamaran transported us across Lake Pehoé to a lodge that would be our base. We chose to sleep in our own tent like many other hikers but enjoyed the lodge’s showers and warming up with cups of tea. We had a five-day hike ahead of us.

The beginning of the trail wandered alongside a windblown lake that was “bedazzled with blue icebergs broken off a glacier.” Between nights curled tightly in our sleeping bags, “we dawdled along the trail, admiring aquamarine lakes, forests, and wildflowers.” We also drank from meltwater streams and ate lunch beneath Cerro Paine Grande, the park’s highest peak. On the day we hoped to reach the Torres, “sheeting precipitation and relentless wind slowed our pace,” unfortunately, and it was a challenge to push through forest and across a glacial moraine field. Snow lashed our faces as we huddled under a boulder, waiting in vain for the dense fog to lift. “Are you disappointed?” my husband asked, taking my hand. “No,” I said, as we sat shivering together. “Let’s stay for a while.”

Finding serenity in Kyoto, Japan
For a city of 1.5 million, Kyoto can be surprisingly calming, said Robin Pogrebin in The New York Times. Known as the City of Ten Thousand Shrines, Japan’s wellpreserved former imperial capital was the destination my husband and I chose for a family trip “that would catapult us all out of our comfort zones.” It did, but mostly to lure us into the contemplative mind-set encouraged by its Zen Buddhist temples and sacred gardens. Our teenagers surprised me: Not only did they adjust quickly to the 14-hour time difference, but they also proved “curious and open to exploring a new part of the world.”

The Golden Pavilion, a Zen Buddhist temple

With so much to see, we set out early the first day for Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion, a reconstructed 14th-century temple whose upper floors “shimmer in gold leaf.” At the site’s Sekka-tei Tea House, Ethan and Maya gamely knelt and sampled “silty” green tea as a guide led us through the rituals of a tea ceremony. Later, we strolled through the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, “an otherworldly forest of tall green stalks and winding paths,” before grabbing lunch at Wakadori, a restaurant known for its Japanese fried chicken, or karaage. At Ryoan-ji, home to one of Japan’s finest rock gardens, we happily sat while studying 15 stones arranged in a sea of raked white gravel. “It is a memory that calms me even now.”

A walk through the Nishiki Market—a “must-see half-mile assault on the senses”—snapped us out of our reverie. As I snacked on kiritanpo (toasted rice on a stick), I was pleasantly overwhelmed by the “teeming” stalls of pickles, sugared fruit, grilled squid, and folding paper fans. It was the day before the new year, so we splurged that night on an osechi-ryori dinner at Kinmata. I passed on the elaborate menu’s candied sardines and marinated herring roe, but Ethan and Maya proved more daring. Near midnight, a light rain began to fall, and as we approached Kennin-ji, the oldest temple in Kyoto, we were greeted by the sounds of monks chanting and bells tolling.
