Where to travel in Winter
Winter is a great time to travel, most popular holidays’ season. January is one of the cheapest months to travel since it is just after the holidays & this is the moment when many travelers are starting to plan their trips for later in the year, February is a great month to travel cheap and avoid crowds as well.
Winter is one of the best periods to watch the Northern Lights in countries like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, etc. It is also a great time to go skiing in countries like Austria, France, Switzerland, etc. Despite the rainy season, winter is a good time to visit Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flats in the world. If you prefer to spend the winter months sun-bathing on the beach or deep diving in the ocean, you should visit the Caribbean, Mexico, Thailand, New Zealand & South Africa.

Where to travel in Summer
Summer is a great period to travel, offering great weather and tons of activities, but bear in mind that anywhere you go there will most probably be thousands of tourists doing the same.
The beginning of summer is a great time to visit the northern European countries, where you can witness the midnight sun at one of many midsummer parties. South in the Mediterranean and the islands are at their peak as well, while Peru is still an excellent choice for hikers, although the temperatures are starting to go down. Summer is also a great time to go on a safari in East Africa, especially in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve and Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park where you can witness one of the grandest wildlife spectacles – the Great Migration. With its crystal-clear beaches and stunning volcanic landscapes, Fiji is also popular among nature lovers and beachgoers.
