Locals are famously friendly, and there is almost no crime (some locals even leave their houses unlocked!) Unsurprisingly, you\u2019ll feel part of the community quickly here, especially when you bubble away in a hot water spring like the Blue Lagoon (heated by the earth\u2019s geothermal activity). Amazingly, they\u2019re known to reduce stress, promote sleep, improve circulation and blood pressure, help congestion and smoothen your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you dry off, sail away from the coastline of Reykjavik in search of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-places-to-see-the-northern-lights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the northern lights<\/a> to watch ripples of colour leap majestically across the night\u2019s sky.

We recommend time in blissful Bergen on Norway\u2019s west coast \u2013 nicknamed the \u2018the city between the seven mountains\u2019 and \u2018heart of the fjords\u2019 because of its perfect position in the beating heart of Norwegian nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you can scale Ulriken mountain (643 metres above sea level) \u2013 by cable car for incredible panoramic views of fishing boats dotted on blue ocean and wooden houses hanging off green hills. Back in the village, mingle among the colourful fishing houses at Bryggen harbour (a major trading point in 12<sup>th<\/sup> century Norway), and taste the deliciously fresh seafood that earned its label as a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.visitbergen.com\/food-and-drink\/bergen-city-of-gastronomy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UNESCO City of Gastronomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, hop on a train to nearby Sognefjord (the &#8216;King of the Fjords&#8217;) or cruise along N\u00e6roy Fjord \u2013 gazing at towering waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and tiny villages as you go. In the summer, you can hike and kayak under beautifully long sunlight hours. Or go in search of northern lights in autumn or winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/travel-director-diaries-24-hours-in-norway-lasse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Travel Director Diaries: 24 hours in Norway with Lasse<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Milford Sound (New Zealand)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/09\/gulfside-mike-Xo0IsZTt7ME-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Milford Sound is one of the world's most tranquil spaces\" class=\"wp-image-871073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gulfside-mike-Xo0IsZTt7ME-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gulfside-mike-Xo0IsZTt7ME-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gulfside-mike-Xo0IsZTt7ME-unsplash.jpg 1439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to think of work emails in New Zealand.

The indigenous M\u0101ori people discovered this natural bliss over 1,000 years ago after the sea flooded a glacial valley and created an inlet in the Tasman sea. Today, seals, penguins and dolphins play in the waters; dense rainforests and waterfalls drop jaws to the floor, and enchanting, meandering walking and hiking routes tempt you to live in the mountains full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Particularly magical in the rain, the 118km drive from Te Anau along <a href=\"https:\/\/milfordsoundtourism.nz\/themilfordroad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Milford Road<\/a> to Milford Sound is otherworldly. As is the sight of 5,560 foot-tall Mitre Peak that will make you fall further in love with this slice of paradise.

This is largely thanks to its green lung \u2013 and Stanley Park \u2013 the largest urban park in Canada (approximately 1000 acres in area), which feels a million miles away from city life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For ultimate calm, we recommend walking the stunning 10 kilometre seawall route here. This is your chance to absorb the stillness of snow-dusted mountains and wavering ocean, plus watch boats drift in and out of Vancouver harbour. Elsewhere within the park, you must visit the 9 totem poles displaying indigenous art, bird-watch at the Lost Lagoon, stroll through rhododendron gardens and get close to up to 70,000 remarkable creatures in the Vancouver aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smell the pine and drink in the crisp air on your journey to headspace in one of the world\u2019s tranquil spaces and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-places-to-live-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">liveable cities<\/a> \u2013 Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/scientifically-proven-travel-reduces-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7 ways travel is scientifically proven to reduce stress<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Namib desert (Namibia)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/09\/arne-smith-jRYBR41lx3Y-unsplash-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"Namib desert (one of the world's most tranquil spaces)\" class=\"wp-image-871047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/arne-smith-jRYBR41lx3Y-unsplash-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/arne-smith-jRYBR41lx3Y-unsplash-330x198.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/arne-smith-jRYBR41lx3Y-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A desert might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you imagine the world\u2019s most tranquil spaces. But the 1,900 kilometre stretch of wild desert plains along Namibia\u2019s Atlantic Coast offers a stillness like no other. Travel to Namibia in southwest Africa to take reset your mind in this landscape of wind-swept sand dunes, sand seas, gravel plains, mountainous regions and roaming wildlife. And meet the colossal 400 metre-high red dunes in Sossusvlei \u2013 a white salt and clay pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to break out your daily routine, a visit to Namib desert (the world\u2019s oldest desert: at least 55 million years own) could be your trip of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/travel-across-the-worlds-oldest-desert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why travelling across the world\u2019s oldest desert will benefit your mind<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Whitsundays Islands (Australia)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/09\/phill-graaf-p6YXgCyNdaM-unsplash-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Whitehaven beach (one of the world's most tranquil spaces)\" class=\"wp-image-871049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/phill-graaf-p6YXgCyNdaM-unsplash-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/phill-graaf-p6YXgCyNdaM-unsplash-330x219.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/phill-graaf-p6YXgCyNdaM-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Slide your feet into warm sand as waves gently massage the shores of the Whitsundays Islands (Australia). Dotted 55km off the Queensland coast and making up part of the Great Barrier Reef, this mesh of 74 islands is a glistening paradise of verdant rainforest, picturesque hiking trials, turquoise waters and spotless beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must make time for Whitehaven beach (on the largest island: Whitsunday) \u2013 named after its famously pure, white sands (made from 98% silica). Stroll this secluded 7km stretch at leisure, marvelling at the blue-green waters created by shifting sands, sail or snorkel over coral families and turtles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also uncover the history of indigenous Ngaro people who called this heaven their home as you stumble across cave painting, stone quarries and rock shelters.
