Awash in Natural Wonder
ÅFARNES, NORWAY
Located at the confluence of three fjords, this secluded town highlights the natural beauty of Norway. Enjoy authentic Norwegian cuisine like brunost, a brown cheese, or lefse, a potato flatbread, after a day of hiking through the hills. Or, test your driving skills at the nearby Trollstigen, which has 11 hairpin turns heading up a steep mountain road summiting at an incredible view.
The world's largest cities-Tokyo, Shanghai, New York City and Cairo, among others-are filled with reasons to go and famous sites to visit. But going farther afield, living more like a local and exploring the most unique parts of a country's culture has a different kind of allure. Often, small-town destinations have the advantage of being less expensive, without any compromises on charm. NEWSWEEK'S Fast Women recommend these small towns wholeheartedly from our own travels, or on the trusted advice of close friends. From the blue-washed buildings in Morocco to wine tasting in Oregon and from roads paved by the Incas to an open-air art gallery on the ancient Silk Road, these out-of-the-way destinations will provide memorable highlights for your next trip. - EILEEN FALKENBERG-HULL AND NICOLE WAKELIN.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie
PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
