In 2017, I visited Asia for the first time- exploring Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto and Macau. This year, I’ve set my sights on returning to Asia for a relaxing holiday in Bali, and venturing to a new continent- Africa.

The first month of 2018 will take me to Morocco for a long weekend in Marrakesh. And, because I vowed to spend every New Years in a sunny/warm location after one particularly cold celebration in New York City, I’m planning on heading back to Africa for a New Years Eve trip with friends.

Although it may be months away, I’m already dreaming of our trip. Time and time again, South Africa ranks as a favorite destination amongst travellers, and how could it not? With stunning natural beauty, excellent wine, coastlines that stretch for miles and incredible game drives, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime destination.

Have you ever been to South Africa? If you have, I’d love to hear your recos!
