Travel is an important part of life for so many reasons. Not only does it provide us enjoyment and entertainment as we journey from one place to the next, it also provides us with invaluable learning experiences that we would be unable to find anywhere else. Absorbing new cultures and meeting new people helps us to expand our worldview and cean even make us more understanding and accepting of unfamiliar things. Travel not only better us as individual but as a society as a whole. Get out there, get exploring, and get learning in 2017 with these top travel destinations on which to set your sights.
Canada
- Take a trip to the Great White North this year and join the country for two very special anniversaries. Not only is the entire country celebrating the 150th anniversary of its Confederation, the Québec city of Montreal will be celebrating its 375th birthday in December. Be a part of history and join in the momentous celebration of a nation.
Cuba
- After more than 50 years, relations between Cuba and the United States were finally repaired in July of 2015, reopening travel between the two nations. Step back in time to the 1950s and see streets filled with cars half a century old in a country rich with culture as you walk along the historic streets in places like Havana. Keep an eye out for flash sales from airlines on tickets to Cuba this year to make your trip even easier.
Botswana
- If you’ve ever wanted to explore an African safari and live out real-life scenes from “The Lion King,” Botswana is probably worth marking on your map. Opening this spring is the Duba Plains Camp; at the center of this 77,000 acre area of the Okavango Delta, visitors will stay in a luxury tent camp and be able to observe elephants, lions, and zebras alike up-close in their natural habitats.
There are so many places to go and things to do that this list couldn’t even begin to cover them all, so get out there and find them for yourself! It doesn’t matter where you go this year, the important thing is that you travel!
