2 . The Azores, a necklace of nine attractive islands, lie in the middle of the Atlantic but are part of Portugal. Here’s what to expect on the Azores:
Flores
Flores is the westernmost island of the Azores. Its name means flowers. There are seven lakes, including the forest green Lagoa Negra that sits right beside the bright blue Lagoa Comprida.
Corvo
With fewer than 500 inhabitants (居民),Corvo is the smallest and most lonely Azorean island. It’s just four miles long and not even three miles wide. Still, this tiny island is a famous place for bird watchers, who come here especially in the fall, hoping to see yellow-billed cuckoos (杜鹃) and many other kinds of birds.
Faial
The island is famous for its paintings which are seen on the walls and floor of the port. A village is covered with volcanic (火山的) ash and other volcanic material many years ago. Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Center has exhibits (展览品) telling the stories of this and other volcanoes.
Pico
The almost 8, 000-foot-tall Mt. Pico, Portugal’s highest peak, dominates (支配) the landscape on this island. It’s the fertile, mineral-rich volcanic soil that has put Pico on every true wine lover’ s list. The Cooperativa Vitivinicola, a more than 70-year-old wine co-op in Madalena,the island’s capital, offers informal tastings that include Verdelho, a crisp white produced from grapes native to this island.

4 . The world is waiting for you to explore. Where will you go next? Our editors pick four exciting destinations for the year ahead. Grab your bags and go!
Maldives
Why go now: Explore islands on the front lines of climate change
What to know: Maldives is the lowest-lying country on the planet and may disappear in decades due to the rising sea level. So forward-thinking green actions are a matter of survival. The Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve helps protect the Maldives’ coral reefs, which support many coral and fish species, as well as sea turtles, whale sharks, and other animals living in the ocean.
Tasmania, Australia
Why go now: Go to an island that’s wild and beautiful
What to know: Once considered a backwater(闭塞的地方),Tasmania is now one of Australia’s fastest-growing tourism destinations. The key to the attraction of Australia’s southernmost state is its natural beauty, which owes largely to the lasting green spirit of about half a million residents there.
Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia
Why go now: Jump through the Ring of Fire
What to know: Extending into the sea between the Japanese and Aleutian archipelagoes (群岛), Kamchatka is part of the Ring of Fire, the chain of volcanoes. And six separate areas of Kamchatka Peninsula are included within the Volcanoes of Kamchatka UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Guizhou Province, China
Why go now: Step into villages almost untouched by time
What to know: The mountainous region’s plentiful water and cool climate are draws for Apple, Huawei, and other tech powerhouses. This has improved access to the entire province. In Guizhou’s villages, days unfold at a slow pace and people continue farming and textile (纺织品) traditions, which have been practiced since the sixth century. And you can experience this kind of life yourself.

6 . Shortly after I graduated from college, I moved to a new state to start a full-time job. One day at work, I found myself wanting to go traveling. Once I’d saved up enough money, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to travel by myself for the first time in my life. So I quickly started doing research on where I’d like to go.
I had never traveled alone before, so I decided to sign up for a guided group that was going to Thailand. This gave me a sense of security (安全). It felt like a great way not only to try being alone and meeting strangers but also doing something that sounded really fun for two weeks.
The Thailand trip forced me out of so many comfort zones (舒适区) that ended up being one of the big turning points of my life. The time I spent in Thailand finding my way around airports and taxis alone, meeting a group of strangers, and doing rock climbing with them in often remote parts of the country, ended up being one of the greatest experiences of my life. Up until this point I had always been shy and very careful to avoid danger and mistakes, but this travel experience inspired me to become different. It showed me a brave, strong, and independent side of myself that went on to influence my life greatly when I returned home.
When I got back, I pretty much dedicated my life to spending as much time as possible doing activities like climbing, hiking, or backpacking especially things that I once thought I wasn’t “capable of” or was “too scared of Today, about 6 years later, I’m an outdoor empowerment coach and backpacking educator.
My trip to Thailand was just what I needed to make that change. It showed me what was possible. It changed the path of my life.

9 . The best destinations for solo travellers this 2022
Most of the world is finally opening its doors to leisure travellers again. If you’re in need of some space and a breather from everyday life, here are the destinations on our list for solo travelling this year.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Nothing says solo travelling like a trip to Copenhagen. One of the safest cities in the world and with much to see and do within walking and cycling distance, it’s easy to fill up the itinerary (行程) daily. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek houses a spectacular collection of over 10, 000 historical art pieces.
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Far away from the crowds of Bangkok, Chiang Mai is calmer but equally exciting. Pay a visit to Asia’s Grand Canyon about 45 minutes outside the city centre, sunning, swimming, and cliff jumping into the large artificial lake. You can also experience night life in Chiang Mai though it might not be as intense as Bangkok’s.
Newfoundland, Canada
Surrounded by centuries-old fishing settlements, Newfoundland has its fair share of nightlife within the capital of St John’s and funky tourist traditions on George Street. There’s also plenty of history to see and experience in Gros Morne National Park. The only downside? You’ll need a car to travel outside St. John’s.
Melbourne, Australia
Australia is favored by many as one of the best and safest countries for solo travellers, and we look forward to returning to their cultural capital of Melbourne. From the modern cityscape of
Federation Square to aboriginal heritage sites along the Heritage Walk at the Royal Botanic Gardens,one can explore for weeks without getting bored, particularly with plenty of coffee, craft beer, and great native food for fuel.
