I flew to the country's west coast, arriving at San Pedro Sula airport (via a direct American Airlines flight from Houston) to reach the sprawling Pico Bonito National Park. Honduras has a surprising amount of pristine, protected natural area and wildlife reserves (twice as much as Costa Rica) and Pico Bonito, with its 500 species of native and migratory birds and lush rainforest and cloud forest terrain extending to the top of the Nombre de los Dios mountains, is a paradise for naturalists and eco-travelers. I spent the weekend at The Lodge at Pico Bonito, the 22-cabin luxury eco-lodge (which has hosted the likes of Catherine Zeta Jones and Pamela Anderson) at the edge of the park's nuclear rainforest zone, where I experienced the wild and wonderful inner workings of the surrounding jungle in style.

My boyfriend's grandmother, Alba Collins, grew up in a tiny house underneath the island's first wooden rollercoast in the 1930s. And we visit her every so often, spending sunny, summer weekends soaking our toes in the Gulf waters as we listen to her stories about Galveston in earlier days. ¶ To me, the history of Galveston Island is as alluring as the area's scenic beauty. I love learning about places like the Balinese Room, which attracted celebrities such as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra in the 1940s; the first International Pageant of Pulchritude of 1926, which drew 150,000 people to the island to witness a bathing-beauty revue; and the nation's longest Pleasure Pier, where sightseers boarded a glittering Ferris wheel to witness panoramic views of the harbor.

But the huge number of swimming holes, movie theaters, parks and museums can be so overwhelming that it’s easy to fall into a rut of relying on your old standbys. Well, this summer you’re not going to do that. Why? Because you’ll find a list of 113 summer must-dos. Along with local classics, like swimming at Deep Eddy, seeing the bats and riding the Zilker Zypher, there are also 56 new activities to try, including throwing a stylish tea party, going indoor skydiving and trying aerial dancing (really).

Its centuries-old temples and geisha districts have become the emblematic ideal of Japan imagery. But despite the more than 1,600 temples, 400 Shinto shrines and 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, the city offers much more than postcard-perfect images to more than 50 million annual visitors. ¶ The city’s historic attractions, prewar architecture (it was spared, unlike in Japan’s other major cities, from World War II bombings due to its ancient, religious significance to the Japanese people) and the latest contemporary trends and modern comforts make it an ideal city for design. From Heian-period architecture and ancient bamboo forests to a revival of modern art museums and maiko (apprentice geisha) performances — Japan’s Old Capital is full of new life. Spend a week exploring Kyoto’s diverse charms during the springtime, when a heavenly backdrop of the country’s renowned cherry blossoms frames the city’s venerable temples and timeworn streets.

It’s a dazzling form of floral display (with roots in the more recognizable form of ikebana) that is simple to learn, easy to individualize and, ultimately, creates an indelibly bold impression on guests. Japan’s tradition of tea ceremonies dates back to the 9th century and is the country’s oldest customs of hospitality. There’s a standard design aesthetic for traditional tearooms (tatami mat floors, low ceilings, etc.), but the same ritual can be conducted in any room of any modern home.

but, this February, I had the chance to explore more of the urban areas in and around Kyoto and Tokyo. ¶ I ate a daily regimen of kaiseki cuisine, wandered through Shinjuku's chic boutiques and Akihabara's bizarre maid cafes, studied some of Kyoto's best modern and traditional design and, in celebration of Hina-Matsuri (Girls' Day), was dressed in the 12-layer kimono that Imperial princesses wore on their wedding day centuries ago. I recommend the trip to anyone and everyone, especially with the addition of American Airlines' new non-stop flights from JFK to Haneda Airport, which previously didn't receive international flights, and is only minutes from downtown Tokyo.

Just without the boring day job. ¶ He actually gave archeology the old college try, but it wasn’t for him. Muller just wanted to hunt for treasure; to roam the globe and risk hell or high water to rescue precious relics from the brink of extinction. Throughout his childhood, he spent countless days exploring the creek beds behind his family's home, searching for interesting rocks and fossils. (He even found a dinosaur bone when he was 12.) He dug up his backyard with his trusty metal detector and shovel and fell asleep fantasizing about ancient treasure maps waiting to be discovered. Read the full story at Culture Map Austin.
