Travelling as New Year Resolution – Must Sees

If your new year resolution is to travel and see more of this big beautiful world of ours, then you have come to the right place.

With so many places to go and so little time – and more often than not money – it’s often hard know where to start when planning a world trip.

To help you out we have handpicked some of our favourite destinations around the world so you can at least sample some of the hidden delights that most travelers and backpackers over look.

Portugal – Lisbon

With one of the most beautiful and rustic coastlines in the world, Portugal is often out shadowed by its mighty next door neighbor – Spain.  Picture perfect sandy coves, secluded golden beaches with huge rocks jutting out of the sea and quaint little colonial towns with wonderful smelling vineyards surrounding them..

A tram ride through Lisbon’s Old Alfama district is a simple must, when visiting Portugal. Take a step back in time when Portugal was a more rural, relaxed place.

Peru – Macchu Picchu

Macchu Picchu is something everybody should do at least once in their life. Trek through ancient Inca city ruins that are over 500*** years old and behold the magnificence of the hidden reassures that the made the Inca tribes such an important part of human history.

Most tours last for 4 days, which will see you running with wild lamas, bathing in hot springs and witnessing breath taking mountainous views that will greet you with every step you take.

Iceland – Thrihnukagigur

Have you always wanted to stand in the heart of the volcano? Of course, you have! Thrihnukagigur is Iceland’s biggest volcano and has the unique feature of having an empty magma chamber. Therefore people can now for the first time in history, literally stand at the heart of one of these fiery beasts!

Surrounded by acres and acres of volcanic national park, you can trek through some of the most beautiful and un-spoilt nature regions of the world. Thrikkugagger is categorised a ‘dormant’ volcano and last erupted around 400 years ago – so not too much danger of an eruption any time soon…hopefully!

California – Pacific Road Trip

One that should be on everyone’s bucket list is a road trip from L.A to San Francisco, taking you all along the pacific highway roads. Drive through wine vineyards, sample the views that were used in the movie “Sideways” and marvel at the beauty of the amazing California coast that make this trip one of the world’s best.

Everyone should travel more as it nourishes the soul and enlivens the sprit, with new experiences and interactions with different places and cultures. Broadening your horizons will really help you evaluate your life and take it in the direction that you so wish to – and isn’t that the best new year’s resolution result anyone could ask for?
