48 Trips to Reboot Your Life Part Six

48 Trips to Reboot Your Life Part Six

From Shanghai's House of Barbie to the Catskills' Zen Mountain Monastery, here are 48 ways to relax and reboot your weary soul.

 
  
31.PEER INTO THE SHARP, SCARY MOUTHS OF SHARKS
If you were the kind of kid who saw the 1975 shark film Jaws and thought, "This is great but I'd rather be in the water with the shark", African Shark Eco-Charters is just your thing. Based out of colonial Simon's Town, South Africa, roughly a 40-minute drive from Cape Town, the company makes twice-daily forays into False Bay. Seal Island, the shark equivalent of Old Country Buffet, sits in the bay and draws large numbers of hungry sharks. MORE INFO
32.SLEEP ON THE SANDS
Pretend you're Sawyer as you reenact Lost at the Dry Tortugas' Fort Jefferson, a remote island fort-cum-national park 68 miles from Key West in the Gulf of Mexico. Though two catamarans drop off up to 220 visitors a day for short visits, up to 12 people with camping gear are allowed to stay behind to sleep underneath the stars. MORE INFO
33.ENGAGE UDDIYANA BANDHA
A couple of times a year, Aaron Star, the founder of New York's bare-ass yoga studio Hot Nude Yoga, takes groups of 15 to 80 men to destinations like Bali, Hawaii, and Costa Rica for camaraderie, yoga, and "exploration." This year, Star and his merry band of nude yogis gather in upstate New York over Memorial Day weekend and in France July 3-7. Over Labor Day, he will host Hot Nude Yoga's first Arizona retreat at Angel Valley, a 70-acre refuge amid Sedona's magnificent red rocks and sycamores. MORE INFO
34.AMONG THE GENTLE GIANTS
Swim alongside a whale shark, a gentle creature as big as a city bus, on Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef. Dive in from Exmouth or Coral Bay, April to June. MORE INFO
35.A LAOS-Y CHEF
Heal thyself in one of the natural thermal springs beneath the still-active Arenal Volcano at Costa Rica's Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort. MORE INFO
36.DON'T LOOK NOW
Shoot the pigeons of Piazza San Marco. Well, kind of. VSP Workshops offers street photography classes during Carnival (February 5-16, 2010) and even rents a 15th-century palace overlooking the Grand Canal for an all-day photo session. MORE INFO
