Winter Travel

Travelling in Winter

Winter is a great time to travel. Whole countries turn into magical wonderlands, with great skiing, cosy pubs and restaurants and snowy walks to explore.

My favourite winter travel experiences include skiing in Canada, visiting the monkey onsens in Japan, going ice hole swimming in Finland, and chasing the Northern Lights in Iceland and Norway. It’s also a fab time to visit a European city or two, thanks to the lesser crowds and Christmas Markets. Or how about booking for some winter sun to warm your bones?

So, pack your warmest clothes, embrace the chill, and let the winter wanderlust begin!
