Fabulous Places to help you escape from the winter of Northern Hemisphere

The winter chill has set in and as soon as Christmas is over, January will descend with its barrage of cold mornings, diet and exercise and all those other hard to face things! So why not escape and get some winter sun! Just what you need to forget about the dreary dark days of home and rejuvenate yourself and return ready for the New Year ahead!

There are so many amazing places to visit and you can find exactly what you are looking for…whether it is a quiet, beach life, relaxing holiday or a bustling city break…the world is literally your oyster.

For the more relaxing vibe, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Reunion Island. Situated in the Indian Ocean, this is not your average tropical island destination. This unique island is paradise on earth offering over 17 miles of warm welcoming beaches, the perfect destination if you are looking to kick back and totally chill out. A true gem.

There are also, of course, all the amazing forests and enclaves dotted throughout the island. You can go rock climbing, diving, snorkeling, taking a helicopter to discover the splendid sight of volcanoes, or meditating in early-morning light on the beach, getting some massage... you name it, it’s on offer. A perfect spot to brush off the cobwebs and rejuvenate.

What to pack:

Maintain a relaxed vibe with flowy chiffon dresses, cute swimwear, and pretty sandals to adorn your laid-back feet!

Now for something completely different! One of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the world: Bangkok. This is not for the faint hearted and is a world away from Reunion Island! Bustling streets full of people, cars, markets, noise! 

This holiday will be full of excitement and is a total feast for the senses. There is so much to see and do in this amazing city and the food, shopping and the sights are just incomparable. You will find yourself emerged in the fantastic Asian culture and the people are as friendly as they are busy. A wondrous adventure awaits you! 

Whether you wish to spend your days traveling through the markets picking up amazing materials or trying out different foods, or choose to visit the amazing temples and ancient buildings, you are sure to enjoy your trip to this eastern paradise. 

What to pack:

It’s HOT here, so loose clothes work best, maybe a floral silk dress, make sure to bring a comfy pair of shoes for walking and of course a bag for all your new purchases!

Happy Travels!
