What is
your new year resolution? Getting in shape? Making healthy choices? Being
nicer? Those are great resolutions, but here are some suggestions: Exploring
the world, discovering new cultures and finding yourself on an unexpected
journey. Well, of course I'm not here to help you choose your new year
resolutions, but If you are somewhat drawn to travelling, then I think you should
take a look at the suggestions below. Without further due, here is my top 5
destinations for 2016. Some are well-known, others rather new, but definitely
places to take a look at this year.
1. The
spiritual journey: Bhutan
Bhutan just recently opened its borders to tourists. Squeezed between Nepal and
China, this country offers a great deal of breathtaking views and cultural
experiences. This Himalayan country, known as the cloud Kingdom, will take you
on a spiritual journey into the great mountains and monasteries. A must see for
every beautiful places seekers.
2. The
south adventure: Patagonia
Patagonia as always been on my bucket list, but now closer to the top of it.
From the Andes to the deserts, there is the whole scenery spectrum in this
beautiful region shared by Chile and Argentina. If you are looking for an
adventure, I would definitely recommend going on a hiking trip to the famous
Torres Del Plaine National Park or rafting through the Petrohue River.
3. The sun
seeking: Belize
Squeezed between the Caribbean sea and the central American jungle, Belize is
quickly ascending on the tourist billboard. With its laid-back atmosphere and
breath-taking beaches, every sun seeker will be at ease in this sea-facing
country. Home to the second largest coral reef, Belize offers a paradise for
snorkelers. If you are not that much into underwater sports, there are enough
Maya ruins deep into the jungle for every history enthusiast.
4. Off the beaten tracks: Azores, Portugal
We all have seen the breath-taking pictures of the mid-Atlantic volcanic
islands and we all just want to buy that plane ticket. Lost between Portugal
and Canada, the nine Atlantic islands are internationally recognized for their
beautiful volcanic beaches and verdant mountains. If you want to go off the beaten
tracks and explore a new world dominated by nature, then head to the Azores.
5. The avant-gardist:
South Korea
Mixing history with modernism, South Korea has everything any traveller is
looking for. If you like going to a modern but unknown country with delicious
food, you will be satisfied. First on trends, South Korea is a paradise for
every fashion and beauty lover. The avant-gardist traveller will love to wander
in this small, but richly traditional country.
No matter
where you go in 2016, remember to have fun and create beautiful memories.
Enjoy,
