Your bucket list is scrawled on the back of a well-
thumbed postcard and pinned to the fridge door:
see the Northern Lights dance across the Arctic Circle;
celebrate the color-caked festival of Holi in India;
spot penguins posturing off the shores of Patagonia.
But where do you go from here or—rather—when?
It’s the most-asked travel question—“so when’s the best time to go?”—
and it’s often this uncertainty that stops us from seizing the day and
clicking “book” on that trip of a lifetime. Besides, we’ve all had
disappointing travel experiences, when the timing just wasn’t right.
We were promised secluded beaches and instead found the coastline
congested with sun soakers. At other times, we would have preferred
the hubbub of human activity, but the city streets were deserted.
And don’t get us started on the weather, when our dreams of endless
sapphire skies were dashed by driving rain.
In Where to Go When, we’ve singled out the most unforgettable
journeys, destinations, and festivals for every month of the year, so
you know exactly when to set off on your next adventure. Not only
that, but we’ve gathered mouth-watering photo graphy that will stir
your senses and transport you to faraway lands. We’re certain
you’ll find new inspiration as you leaf through the pages. Perhaps
you’re looking for a getaway first thing in the new year, or you’ve
earmarked September to October for a trip to distant shores.
Where to Go When will provide you with a wealth of ideas—from
