While the winter months are close to freezing, March brings warmer temperatures and great skiing conditions. Hotels will also be a lot more affordable at this time of year when the tourists start to disappear.

Tokyo

Visiting Tokyo in March is kind of like a real-life fairy-tale. Everywhere you look, you’ll see gorgeous pink and white cherry blossoms and temperatures hover at a warm degree. If you’re a fish lover, the fish at the Tsukiji market are fresh and plentiful!

Washington DC

If you can’t make it to Japan, then consider Washington, which is in simultaneous bloom. The National Cherry Blossom Festival starts on March 20^th and the weather is great for exploring the monuments. When you need a break from all the sightseeing, check out the burgeoning food scene.

Punta Del Este – Uruguay

You might not think that Uruguay is a beachy hot spot, but that makes it the perfect choice for international spring jaunts. The town of Jose Ignacio is known for its boho vibe, gorgeous sand and amazing nightlife. Throughout March, you’ll find constant sunshine and high temperatures.

The Grand Canyon

Want to visit America’s famous natural wonder, but worried about all the annoying tourists? If you head to The Grand Canyon in early spring, you’ll beat the majority of the crowds but still be able to take advantage of all that outdoor goodness. Enjoy the amazing view along with hiking, rafting and camping under the desert skies.

Seville – Spain

With its beautiful gardens and cobblestone streets, Seville often feels like a quaint old town. Visit in March to witness Semana Santa, a holy week leading up to Easter, when the city is alive with parades, parties and music.

Turks & Caicos

Jet off to Turks and Caicos, which is known for gorgeous coral reefs and azure water. The plane tickets are cheap and the tourists are few, so get busy bathing suit shopping and then make your way to the beautiful Turks and Caicos.

Go on, get out of town this March!

The only downfall when traveling is the stress that comes with finding at affordable shuttle service that can take you to and from the airport. Airport Shuttle in Cape Town is a reliable, speedy taxi service that will get you to the airport comfortably and on time!

Maybe you didn’t get a chance to get away in the December holidays and maybe you’re fed up with being stuck in one place. Maybe you just need an adventure!

Here are 8 of the most amazing destinations to go to this February…

Captiva & Sanibel Islands – Florida

These two islands are both located on Florida’s Gulf Coast and they’re perfect if you want a tropical getaway without going to the Caribbean. Sanibel is more rustic with everyone riding around on bikes, and Captiva is more upscale with beautiful waterfront houses.

You’ll find few tourists, but plenty of charm in Santa Fe in February. Most days you can spend your time skiing, visiting art galleries and antiquing. Don’t miss the authentic New Mexican, off-the-beaten-path La Choza, where you can chow down on frito pie and green chile stew!

The 7 best places to travel in 2016

It’s the end of the year, so we’ve got holiday getaways on the brain, but not just any old boring getaways; we’re looking for something out of the ordinary! Somewhere that will fuel our passion for travel, but hasn’t been affected by mass tourism.

These seven off-the-beaten-path places are at the top of the 2016 travel list.

GREENLAND
Next is going to be all about Greenland, which is so off the grid your cell phone probably won’t even work! If you love the outdoors then this is the place for you, where the locals travel by dogsled and snowmobile, plus the first-ever Arctic Winter Games will be held in Greenland in March.

BAVARIA, GERMANY
Bavaria has a vibe that will remind you of the Sound of Music. The region has breathtaking scenery, an easy-going feel and a charming culture. Tour the world-class galleries in Munich, and then enjoy beer with the locals – this is by far one of Germany’s best states.

RIVIERA NAYARIT, MEXICO
In 2016, visit the part of Mexico that is free of tourists. Riviera Nayarit is the home to the surfer town of Sayulita, which is the perfect snapshot of what many think is authentic Mexico. Along the streets, you’ll find amazing foods, like fish tacos and beaches that have some of the best waves.

BOTSWANA, AFRICA
Awash with national parks, Botswana is great on a high or low budget, in the dry or green season. This destination is suitable for you whether you are an adventurer or not, but be warned: it won’t remain undiscovered for long, so book a flight now!

KAUAU, HAWAII
Looking for beauty and adventure? Add the Hawaiian island of Kauai to your itinerary. Not only is it the oldest of the main Islands, it’s also the greenest because of its lush rain forests and gorgeous vegetation.

KOTOR, MONTENEGRO
This Mediterranean is beautiful from every single angle. Travel in the city walls and sip coffee, munch on warm bread and stroll along the maze of alleys and paved paths. Better still, the cruise ships have yet to overwhelm, so get to Kotor before they drop anchor!

PALAU
This is a prime spot for underwater lovers that enjoy snorkeling, diving or just exploring the deep blue sea. Loads of wreckage from the war still remains scattered throughout the islands, so you can explore while you scuba dive. The coolest spot is Jellyfish Lake, where a subspecies of jellyfish travel across the water in a repeated daily pattern.

From the beautiful Mexican beaches to the undiscovered Palau islands, these seven destinations are the places to be in 2016.
