Whether in Indian summer, it’s time to embrace autumn with all its crisp leaves and cozy coat, or you can escape the winter sunshine. You can still feel the heat from Southeast Asia or fall into happy hours in the northern hemisphere. This month, Smith joined the Mexico carnival, searching for snow in Norway, paying tribute to John Steinbeck of Somerset and finding inner peace in Kyoto.
Norway
As we enter autumn, I seek sweet, sweet loneliness, and what better way to say “shoo, everyone” than to escape to a small Norwegian island. Lilløy Lindenberg Probably less than an hour's drive (and five minutes by boat) Bergenbut its cozy residence looks comfortable on the snow-rise hilltop with sea views around it, and the hibernation of Scandis is also good. With thick blankets, roaring fire and Aga, chef Antje de Vries cooks herbivore feasts (Kelp is her specialty); while outdoor sauna, fireplace and bathtub offer complete immersion in frostbite. Antisocial and book the entire island with up to 10 guests, or one hip hermit.
Don't miss it A trip to the art – Lilløy's collection includes paintings by Bergenian musician Axel Vindenes, Dutch ceramics and glassware by Joris-Jan Bos and glassware by local genius Sigrid Rostad. Plus, its extensive thinking and original natural beauty inspired inhabiting artists, such as Dennis Rudolph of Berlin, whose creepy sculptures add myth to the magic.

Somerset, England
When author John Steinbeck did not document the harsh reality of the Great Depression in the United States, he was kind of English – swapping the dust bowl for Somerset Village Bruton, drawn by King Arthur legend and the herders' peace. Not only did he find a temporary residence in this charming enclave. He has shown The first Brutonthe ceramic tiles with his face are hidden in every room. Scattered in antique townhouses and medieval forgings, welcoming baskets of brightly colored local cheeses and ciders are as cute as the burrs of the accent of the region. The village’s gallery, church cafes and chic bars have brought a new wave of creativity.

Thailand
Bangkok It's a confusing city. The time I spent there was from the tranquility of Buddha statues in the temple to the chaos of the night market. From delicious smoked food stalls to neon bars. Exciting, but hard to grasp, especially for first-time visitors. Capella Bangkok Generously bringing you to the rhythm of the city, its “culturalists” team will guide you through the local thriving scene, arranging Tuk-Tuk Food Tours and Muay Thai Competitions, and the traditional courses you will make hole Mask or cure herbs for rot. They also have a lot of distractions about their families – all passionate, full of enthusiasm Sawadeeka Go to the city.

Those whose goals have been reset Banyan Tree Resort (i.e., most visitors) will notice the familiar promise of the peace, sensual space shaped by local artisans and maintained by health practitioners Higashiyama Kyotothe latest opening of the group. Although, this is Japan and everyone, the group's tropical aesthetic has been replaced with moss-covered stone products, Shoji Screen and Tatami mat.
What we didn't expect was the added feeling of the theater – literally thanks to its traditional masked performance on the open-air NOH stage, built on stilts on the water against the backdrop of bamboo. Elsewhere, the spa attacks natural sources of thermal elasticity, and the private pools in several rooms are better Ensen itself. What pulls all this together is designers Kengo Kuma and Yukio Hashimoto, who tend toward the concept of Noh Yūgenor mysterious beauty, is a hillside hotel worthy of applause.
Don't miss it There are no shortage of activities to miss in Kyoto, and visitors are only enriched by the existence of the guide. To do this, let the banyan tree Kyoyama Kyoto arrange a yoga meeting in the hotel's foggy garden, or introduce you to the mysterious world of Noh Theatre, the artistic nature of the Maiko performance, or the sound of So-Japanesse and the of the Japane and the Scripted of Striged necapanesse Koto and Shakuhachi.

It's only a few weeks, but if you've already finished the fall work, pack your luggage and head to the equator. Especially in northern Mexico Oaxaca In your twenties, the temperature will be comfortable in comfort. 12 rooms Escondido Oaxaca Located in the colonial center of the state capital, a rooftop pool provides a breather for heat.

Paris, France
With the sun hanging off in summer, it's time to spin these layers and spin into the city break season. Paris Fall is failsafe for fall, and when businesses reopen after a break in August, you can actually get a table on that customer’s table. By skipping the tourist area, embracing the spirit of seasonal change in the country-like Batignoles of the 17th Arnddissement, this is the hiding place for barbarism La Foodation. In sharp contrast to the city's limestone architecture, La Fondation uses glass grid facades, with Soigné Roman and Williams Interiors turning heads. Especially the window wall restaurant on the eighth floor, where seasonal dishes enjoy rooftop views.
Don't miss it There are many cultural activities throughout October. period Nuit Blanche (October 7), many art galleries, museums and cultural institutions in the city open from dusk to dawn, with installations and performances prevailing.

Bali, Indonesia
Call me biased, but I want to say that there is no place to eliminate the melancholy of autumn Bali. The Island of Gods has this ability to be full of vitality and fanatic when you want it. Nadi Nature Resort Seated firmly in the back camp, surrounded by rice fields and waterfalls of the three verdant green mountains. It's like their land, with only four luxurious tents made of bamboo, recycled wood and handmade textiles. Nadi Café gets most of its produce from the hotel’s organic permaculture gardens and local forests, while the on-site grown stuff comes from sustainable local farms. I recommend a full-time lifestyle: join in foraging, refresh the jungle survival skills with local guides, and try a purification ceremony hosted by a Bali priest.
Don't miss it October marks the beginning of the wet season in Bali, but don't let this suppress your spirit. Higher rains tend to be between the end of the year and the end of the year, so October is often a perfect location between seasons, when there are fewer visitors, lower prices, and lush landscapes and full of wildlife. If you are on a day trip Ubud Writers and Readers Festival It will take place from October 29 to November 2, bringing top literary talent and speakers to one of Bali’s most dedicated towns.
