Palau
AN ARCHIPELAGO OF over 500 little islands, including 200 that are volcanic, Palau is a gem in the Pacific Ocean. It is a true-blue diver’s paradise, offering unique dive sites such as the Blue Corner, German Channel, and Ulong Channel. Between February and April every year, hundreds of grey reef sharks swim to the waters of Palau for mating season. This is when the destination hosts Shark Week Palau. Its 20th annual edition is set to take place from February 27 to March 6, 2022; experienced divers can take part in citizen science activities such as keeping a tab on the number of shark species, from grey reef and blacktip to blue, tiger, and hammerhead. Or sign up for a snorkelling tour of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Rock Islands Southern Lagoon with the Oceanic Society in February or November. palau.travel

In the month leading up to Mardi Gras, residents and visitors paint the town red with parades and masquerade balls. Bars and clubs come alive with parties every night. New Orleans’ Creole-Cajun culture is celebrated through food, music, and architectural events. On Bourbon Street in the French Quarter, you’ll find the best of jazz bars as well as plush hotels to stay in. The charming Garden District nearby is brimming with boutique shops, top-notch restaurants, and grand dame mansions.
