Where should I travel each month of the year?

There’s no single perfect answer, but you can follow a seasonal pattern that works well for many travelers. For winter (January–March), combine snow destinations like Hokkaido or the Alps with warm escapes in Southeast Asia or Mexico. In spring (April–June), target classic shoulder season spots such as Mediterranean Europe, Turkey, and parts of East Asia for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Summer (July–September) is ideal for northern or higher-altitude regions like Scandinavia, the UK, the Alps, and mountain areas in countries like Georgia or central Turkey, or you can flip hemispheres and explore parts of South America. Autumn (October–December) is great for food and foliage trips in Europe, cultural cities in East Asia, and winter sun destinations like Morocco, the Canary Islands, the UAE, or southern Mexico. Always cross-check each month’s shortlist with weather, local events, and connectivity options like eSIM coverage.
