Adventure seekers can head to Colorado in January for some of the world's best skiing and snow sports. Visit Japan in March to see the breathtaking Sakura trees (cherry blossoms), or the French Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in June, which bursts with vibrant tulips and lavender fields. Whatever your inclination, the world is your oyster, and there's no better time to explore it than now.
