My Winter Travel Bucket List with ideas you may love too
It is freezing, isn’t it? Sometimes I love cold weather but sometimes I long for the sun to come back! How about you? Do you ever holiday in the winter?
I have never been anywhere after October, but lately, I have been thinking about different winter holiday ideas and thought I would share with you some places I would love to go. Now, if any of you would love to pay for me to go on any of them, do let me know!
This is a collaborative post.
Visiting Santa
I may be in my 40s but I would really love to go on a winter holiday to Lapland to see the man who makes dreams come true!
Allegedly I am a bit too big to sit on his knee now but it would be a lovely place to visit. If I had the money I would take all my family too especially the younger children as it would be so magical to see their faces.
Skiing
I am so uncoordinated it is unreal, but I would love to go skiing. Admittedly, I don’t really know much about ski holidays, so I would definitely need to do some research, but it just sounds such fun.
I would probably end up in a pile at the bottom of the mountain, crying that it is cold, though! Austria sounds like a good place to go, and there are some great packages.
Winter Sun
I would love to go to Australia and there it is summer when we have cold winters so that would be a perfect winter holiday without experiencing the cold!
Though I am really not sure about the idea of a sunny Christmas though. Is that something that appeals to you? For me Christmas is all about wrapping up warm with a hot chocolate and hoping it snows on Christmas day when you don’t have to go out anywhere.
It’s truly a haven for outdoor lovers. You can hike the mountains in and around the city and go boating on the lakes during the winter. For a real treat, I really want to drive a couple of hours north to see the stunning red rocks of Sedona.
The Caribbean is a perfect place to go for winter sun. Antigua would be my favourite as it looks amazing. I have been browsing different places and the Jumby bay island Antigua hotel sounds like my cup of tea for winter sun!
Iceland
I would love to see the Northern lights for myself instead of just on YouTube and stay in an ice hotel. I have seen people hiring campervans in Iceland and travelling enjoying all the scenery so this is definitely one for the bucket list. Cozy Campers is a company I have been recommended; they specialise in campervan rentals in Iceland so I would go with them as their prices look great. When is best to visit Iceland, does anyone have any recommendations? I would love to hear about it in the comments below.
I am sure the UK seems surprised every time there is a bit of snow, and everything stops. How many times in the snow in the UK does everyone panic buy three loaves of bread? You wouldn’t have that in Iceland, I am sure!
Cruises
Another possibility is of course a nice cruise holiday from the UK. I have recently been looking at nice cruises from UK ports for throughout the year and found they are much better priced than I realised!
There are so many options and all are perfect for a nice break. Winter UK cruises are becoming ever-popular so I would love to give them a try.
Where would your favourite destinations be for a holiday in the winter? Is there anywhere that is amazing to visit that I have not considered?
