Each country has its own unique climate, with some periods being more favorable and others less so. Traveling during the monsoon season may not be the type of trip you’re hoping for. For some, the lure of lush flora makes it an ideal time.
Find out the best times to visit a country. What’s a good time at home may not be the same in your destination country. The quandpartir website is a good starting point for your research.
Example: Where and when to go to Laos
Remember that south of the equator, the seasons reverse. While it’s summer in Quebec, it’s winter in Argentina.But do n’t hesitate to travel during the low season , when the flow of tourists is often lower and the prices are lower. You’ll be able to see the country in a different light.
Check special events of selected countries
Festivals and celebrations are interesting times to discover the culture of a country . I was in Laos during the Festival of Lights and the big event of the boat race. I loved my experience; it was a highlight of my trip.
Perhaps there are special events taking place in your chosen countries. This could influence your choice. Or perhaps it’s the opposite. If you prefer the tranquility of a location, it’s best to avoid these times when prices are skyrocketing and accommodation is difficult to find.
Check the entry formalities and the time required to obtain them
Whether or not a visa is required, its complexity and the time it takes to obtain it, its cost, and the length of time the government grants you to remain in their territory could all influence your choice of destination over another. Bhutan, for example, where a huge daily tax is charged and travel through an agency is mandatory, could put many people off.
Check the necessary vaccinations before departure and the health section of the destinations
Travel health is an important consideration. Consult your travel health clinic to learn about the risks in each country and your vaccination and medication needs . Some destinations require multiple vaccinations. In addition to the high cost, the time between doses can be several weeks. This is a consideration to consider depending on your chosen destination.
Don’t forget to travel insured. I have a complete file on travel insurance right here where I suggest good companies and where you will even find discounts .
Cancel those that do not match your personal criteria
With all these criteria, you should be able to make a more informed choice based on your current needs.
So, where will you go next? And how did you choose it?
For me, it will be Colombia in June-July!! 🙂
