"In Iceland, renting a car and doing a self-drive is both oddly relaxing and super scenic. So two hours in the Icelandic countryside, studded with wild horses and the wooliest sheep, is hardly like two hours in traffic on the turnpike. And then once you reach the South, you're officially in a magical place."

"Driving from the South to the West is the largest stretch of road—about four hours —but breaking up the drive with lunch and waterfall viewing makes it feel easy."

"Planted in a charming floral shop, CooCoo's Nest is the ultimate healthy lunch spot with coconut-sweet-potato soup and fluffy frittatas from a Northern Cal chef."

"This is why you came. Put on your warmest beanie and get ready to try everything from glacier hiking to zip-lining with a surprise bungee-like finale (without the near-death part). Visit Vik, a charming fishing village with a burger joint that draws people from all over, and make sure to check out Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which you can walk behind (bring waterproof jackets!)."

"Spend a day exploring Kimolos' picturesque village of Chorio, bustling with traditional tavernas, shops, and hotels. Next, be sure to visit the island's many unspoiled beaches known for their seclusion and crystal-clear waters, like Agios Georgios, Aliki, Kalamitsi, and Dekas, among others."

"One of the most unforgettable views is seeing the sunrise from the Xochimilco canals and its chinampas. Xochimilco, also known as 'Field of Flowers,' is a series of canals that were created during the Mesoamerican period and whose implementation of chinampas is still in use today. Chinampas are artificial islands built on these wetlands for agricultural purposes. This is something that can be experienced with Arca Tierra, a collective that seeks to heal our earth by employing regenerative and traditional agriculture techniques. You can book a sunrise experience with them that includes a breakfast where all the ingredients come from their chinampa." —Karina Primelles

"Stay at Blue Sand Boutique Hotel or at Anemi Hotel."

"Further north by a few blocks, the Miami Beach Edition is attracting younger guests for its sleek modernism that’s perfect for a coffee meeting during the day and perhaps even better for a cocktail with that same associate later that night. The hotel is also playing host to some of the more sought-after guest listed events throughout the week."

"Taking a cue from Japan’s smaller-scale bars that are always offering vinyl record selections, Dante’s offers up high class cocktails with lo-fi audio pairings. Make a reservation and set up a time to get away from the bustle of Google Calendars and parties and chill out over a few records."

"Most of the parties happening this week will be stretching long into the night and not happening at the local watering holes, but behind the velvet ropes of hotels and private clubs. Soho Beach House has been home in years past to some of the most talked about events of Basels of yore. Get ahead of it this time by securing your name on the list or uppering your own home-city membership for access this time around to Miami’s outpost."
