It is so much fun to create a travel wishlist for the year. Last year, Paris was right at the top of my list, and I was so thrilled when that trip actually happened! So there is definitely some merit in thinking about where you want to travel this year. If you have clear dreams and plans, the universe might just conspire to make it happen!

I am trying to save for a backpacking trip across Europe in 2017, so…
London lights up like magic during December, it seems the city brings out it’s best for Christmas.

Thanksgiving is a great time to take a break and travel back home to be with family and friends. But if you are lucky enough to be in the same city as your family, you can actually use the holiday to plan a vacation and spend some quality time with your loved ones! If you are planning any travel during the Thanksgiving weekend, then consider heading to the Big Apple. New York is fantastic during Thanksgiving owing to two key attractions – the fabulous weekend sales and Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade!
