Vacation Spots, Should You Go or Not Go?

]It is February now, and people may start planning vacations for spring and summer. All of us want to escape this crazy cold weather and go somewhere warm. We all want to go on some exotic vacations, but are some of these places the best to go this year, let us discuss it.

This year there are a lot of significant sport events occurring. The world cup is taking place in June/July in Brazil, while the Winter Olympics have just started in Russia. Brazil is a beautiful country with so many natural wonders, like the Amazon Rain Forest and River, and the beautiful beaches. Plus, it has gorgeous cities, like Rio de Janeiro, which is where the World Cup is taking place. It is also home to some intense partying, known as the Carnival. This starts at the end of February and is a great time and a great way to see the country’s culture. Brazil would be an amazing place to visit this year. An especially good time to visit would be during the time of Carnival or the World Cup. Many things will be taking place, there will be many sights to see, and an overall it will be an amazing experience. On the other hand, there is Russia. This is where the Winter Olympics are taking place, in Sochi. The various cities in Russia, like Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Sochi, are all places with a strong sense of art, culture, and history. There is plenty to visit, but this place is a high risk place to visit. There are a lot of violent riots and activities happening there. It is ok to go there, but you must be very careful and look out for yourself.

In the western hemisphere some other controversial, but amazing places to visit are Nicaragua, Mexico, and Haiti. Nicaragua is a wonderful tropical vacation with gorgeous beaches, volcanoes, and a lot of culture. It is not a common tourist area, so it is not too crowded. Also, there are easy and affordable flights, hotels, restaurants, and places to see. This is a definite go. Mexico is a place that people are hesitant to go to at times due to drug cartel battles and things like that. However, if you stay in resorts or around one area, you should be fine, so check this place out if you want to. Haiti has started accepting more tourism with more planes that are flying there. New hotels and resorts have opened in Port-au-Prince, and this place is slowly improving after the disasters that have stricken them. Though there have been reports about Americans be mugged or harmed, there have not been as many in the past. So, you can also go to this place, but take caution and plan ahead.

The other half of the world also has places to visit too. This would include United Arab Emirates, Philippines, India, Thailand, and Egypt. Some of these places are not the best places to visit at this moment, but do keep it on the bucket list. United Arab Emirates has amazing places to stay and visit. It has a rich history and cultural experiences. The place is beautiful and scenic with both modern and historical aspects to it, so definitely go. Philippines, though it was just struck by a terrible typhoon, you can still go there, but be aware some areas may be still recovering. India has a lot to see in the aspects of history and culture. There are gorgeous palaces and temples, that would amazing to see. However, the country has a lot of corruption and rape cases. It is very unsafe for groups of people, but it is still a go. Just be extremely cautious. Both Thailand and Egypt are no go’s. This is because of the large political demonstrations and protests taking place in both countries. For your safety, do not go there at this time.

Hope this helps your trip planning.
