"I LIKE TO SHOW people the beautiful sides of Riyadh-it's a really underrated city," says Rae Joseph, founder of the vintage-retail platform 1954 by Rae Joseph. While she splits her time between Riyadh, Dubai, and New York, she loves to spend hometown weekends (Friday and Saturday in Saudi Arabia) hiking, gallery-hopping, and scouring historic souks in search of antique finds.

"Whether it's Friday or Saturday, we have to do a hike. I pick up a couple of my friends, and then we go to DQthe Diplomatic Quarter, or Al Safarat, as we say. The hiking trails are not too hard, but it's enough to get your body moving. The views are spectacular: It overlooks some farms, and you have a sea of palm trees and beautiful rock formations."

Rather than rush from Tokyo to Kyoto by train, as most visitors to Japan do, Tom Vanderbilt chose to bike - coasting down country roads, spying snow monkeys, and refueling with hearty bowls of soba. At the peak of the day's heat, I pulled into the tiny hamlet of Hirase, in Japan's Gifu Prefecture. I'd just climbed a twisting, waterfall-lined road several thousand feet through Hakusan National Park before descending into the shimmering fantasy landscape of Shirakawa-go, an almost Tolkien-esque village (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) comprising centuries-old farmhouses with peaked thatch roofs.
