Hello all—

I hope your summer plans are in full swing. We’re having a rare mild and dry June here in D.C., and I’m not complaining! It’s made walking around every evening very pleasant. While I do have to dodge the occasional tourist here in the capital, on my recent trip to Western Australia I hardly bumped into any other tourists. Even when hopping around one of its most iconic national parks with a beach recently named the best in the world! My time out in that remote part of the world is our lead feature this week.

Daniel Maurer has the latest for our series on underrated destinations, It’s Still a Big World. In it he takes us to the shores of Argentina. Tired of the crowds in Uruguay, artists, surfers, and those in the know are starting to make Chapadamal a cool destination. Erin Zaleski also has a feature for the series, and hers is an ode to Cannes. Sure, it’s a zoo in summertime, but Zaleski is taking us there as an off-season attraction with plenty of culture and wonder to entice you.

Rounding things out is Tim Johnson’s experiences on a cruise beloved by cruise fanatics but under the radar for most of us–a repositioning cruise. You’ll have to read on to find out more.

Enjoy!

The World’s Best Beach to Yourself? That’s Normal in Western Australia

I swam at beaches of sparkling white sand where wild kangaroos can be your only company, soared above rainbow-hued lakes, dove into unfamiliar history, and devoured delicious food.

Chapadmalal Is the Next Big Surf Town Argentinians Won’t Tell You About

How did this place where cows and horses still graze in unfenced lots blow up into la playa mas “cool”?

The shoulder season reveals a softer, quieter city where you’ll find centuries worth of history, beautiful architecture, and simpler pleasures.

The Unique Cruise Beloved by Cruise Fanatics

Every spring, cruise lines follow the sunshine and move a number of their ships from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. If you’re a guest, there’s big bang for buck here.

“In the early 20th Century, America’s foremost industrialist, inventor, and naturalist embarked on a series of road trips that were inspired by Thoreau and anticipated Kerouac.”

–Nicolaus Mills tells the tale of a roadtrip Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and naturalist John Burroughs took in the early days of the automobile.

Travel to Some of the World’s Most Remote Spots

When you think of inspiring depictions of extreme travel, it’s usually documentaries or adrenaline-pumping YouTube videos filmed on a GoPro. It’s rarely a book. But our latest selection for Just Booked, our series on exciting new coffee table books, is just that–an inspiring book on extreme travel. Remote Experiences: Extraordinary Travel Adventures From North to South is its title and it was put together for the publisher Taschen by photographer Daniel De Vleeschauwer.

It’s a book perhaps best given for that jaded traveler friend of yours, the one who thinks they’ve seen it all. De Vleeschauwer’s photos take readers on some mind-boggling journeys. There’s the road trip from Hamburg to the northern tip of Europe and back, crossing through nine countries often on icy and lonely roads. Or you can follow along with a gaucho guide and traverse the otherworldly terrain of Patagonia. The one that grabbed our attention? Following in the footsteps of Genghis Khan and joining the golden eagle hunt in a remote area of Mongolia.
