If you're a fan of winter activities, but are in need of some sun, then perhaps a May trip to Svalbard is in order.
如果你熱愛冬季運動，又想曬曬太陽的話，五月去斯瓦爾巴特羣島再合適不過了。
It notes: 'The Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard is located about 620 miles south of the North Pole. In late spring, the sun never dips below the horizon - meaning you can sponge up all the Vitamin D you desire.'
美國《國家地理》雜誌寫道：“挪威斯瓦爾巴特羣島位於北極點以南大約620英里（約合997公里）。在晚春，白天太陽會一直在地平線以上，你可以隨心所欲地曬太陽吸收維生素D。”

In late May, National Geographic Travel says that the watering holes start to dry up again, which lures giraffes and black rhinos from their hiding spots.

If you're more of an adrenaline junkie, head to the Namib desert for a spot of sandboarding on the dunes.

如果人太多，遊客可以乘坐貢多拉小船去參觀有兩千年曆史的希律王馬察達要塞，或者在一個安寧的清晨出發，坐船去加利利海航行。
Columbia and Snake River 哥倫比亞和斯內克河
To see North America's greatest concentration of waterfalls, head to the Snake and Columbia Rivers, which pass through Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.
如果想去北美瀑布最密集的地方遊覽，就去哥倫比亞河和斯內克河吧，這兩條河流流經俄勒岡州、愛達華州和華盛頓州。
National Geographic Travel says that the waterway is best visited in spring when 'winter melt ensures a thunderous show'.
雜誌稱這些河流的最佳遊覽時節是春季，此時“冬季冰雪融化，景色頗爲壯觀”。
The Seychelles 塞舌爾羣島
The Seychelles are 'a lot more than seashells and tropical fish and powdery sand', says National Geographic Travel.
雜誌稱，塞舌爾羣島“不僅僅有貝殼、熱帶魚和細沙”。
It highlights that the archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean is home to granite cliffs and 100-foot-tall palm trees, wild tortoises, and 275 species of birds.

它推薦人們去麥德林市，這裏被譽爲“常春之城”，氣候溫和，巧克力熱飲味道香濃，探戈舞俱樂部值得一遊。
Panama 巴拿馬
Costa Rica and the Caribbean often overshadow Panama, but travellers should consider checking the central American country out if they want a 'less-crowded paradise'.
哥斯達黎加和加勒比海經常讓巴拿馬黯然失色，但旅行者如果想去“人羣不太擁擠的度假天堂”，就要考慮一下去巴拿馬了。
Cash rich travellers are advised to book a swanky cabana in the Pearl Islands, but for the more budget-conscious there's always the option of 'roughing it' in tiny Santa Catalina on Panama's Pacific coast.
雜誌建議資金充裕的旅行者在珍珠島預訂一個時髦的小屋，預算緊張的旅行者可以“因陋就簡”，在巴拿馬太平洋海岸的聖卡塔利娜小島選擇住處。
The travel site reveals: 'Here, horses are still the primary mode of transportation, the stargazing is exquisite, the Wi-Fi is delightfully shoddy, and local fisherman serve fresh seafood and plantains from their home kitchens for roughly $6 a plate.'
雜誌網站上寫道：“這裏主要的交通運輸工具還是馬車，眺望星空讓人沉醉，無線信號略微不佳。當地的漁民出售自家做的新鮮海鮮和大蕉，大約6美元（約合37元人民幣）一盤。”
