Where to Next?
I am not sure what you have planned for 2023, but traveling definitely needs to be on the list. Ever since Covid 2020, many of us have still not gone out and done some things that will help bring normalcy to us. This is the year to change that. I want all of us to travel and see different cultures, different environments or even your same vacation spots, but just better. There are a few places that NEED to be on your travel budget list this year, if possible! We will stay in the United States for the first couple options but then we will get to the best places abroad to travel to this year.
Sarasota, Florida
Florida is so much more than DisneyWorld and Universal, although those are some awesome choices! Florida has some locations for the most beautiful beaches. Sarasota, Florida is a must for 2023. The Sarasota Jungle Gardens is a 10 acre zoo where you can feed the wildlife flamingos. For a little intimate experience, try the Shore Restaurant in LongBoat Key for an amazing dinner or lunch view. The beach is just breathtaking and overall is a nice little relaxing getaway!
Las Vegas, Nevada
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. There’s gambling, shows, great food and even some amazing things to do even if you do not gamble. There is hiking, horseback riding, and other things to explore. There is always something to do in Vegas and it is an absolute can’t miss. No matter what you spend your time there doing, it will be a vacation for the ages!
Now if you are ready to explore this amazing world, here are some top suggestions that are outside the United States.
Florence, Italy
Not only does it some of the most amazing views to see ever, it is one of the most popular cities to visit within Italy. Florence is also known as the art capital of the world with having 60% of the world’s most important works of arts - there is honestly nothing more magical. Florence is also a train ride away from exploring different parts of Italy, and for only $8. In my opinion, the best time to visit Florence is in the fall. It is truly breathtaking and not as hot as it would be in the summer!
Thailand
This destination is at the top of many people’s travel budget list and honestly, I do not blame them. You can not go wrong, going and learning about different cultures, eating amazing food and walking upon beautiful beaches. Thailand as well is relatively cheap and you will be able to do so much and feel safe while doing it. You will meet the most amazing locals there and it will be an experience you will never forget! The best months to go are November to early April, it is the warmest time to go.
