EAST HOKKAIDO, JAPAN

A left-field choice in a seriously beautiful place, the northern island of Japan is home to a wild landscape a world away from the bustling cities of the south. Forested mountains, deep gorges and abundant wildlife brave temperate summers and hard winters here.

NORTHERN ONTARIO, CANADA

Colossal in scale and covered in forest, northern Ontario is home to Algonquin Provincial Park, where you can disappear for weeks without seeing another soul. A canoe is probably the clever way to explore it, while the walks into the forest from the navigationally-critical rivers will be wild, immersive and stunning.
