Travel Smart on a Budget | Why January is the Ideal Month for Adventure

January is a perfect time to start planning your travels for the year. After all the festivities and rush in December, you may feel the urge to travel, explore and take a break. When it comes to traveling, women are always looking for unique and exciting destinations. If you are one of those women looking for a great adventure, you might be surprised to know why January is the perfect time to pack your bags and begin your journey.

Affordable Travel

January is a fantastic time to save money on travel. July and December are very challenging months to travel because it's peak season. Flights and hotels are costly during these months. However, January is a low season month for travel, and flight and hotel prices go down, giving you an opportunity to explore more exciting destinations at a lower cost.

Mild Weather: During January, much of the world is experiencing winter. For most people, this means bundling up and staying indoors. However, winter in some places can be beautiful and enjoyable. Countries in Asia, South America and Africa have warmer weather experiences during this time of the year which means you can enjoy beautiful beaches, picturesque valleys and a range of outdoor activities to get your energy flowing.

Crowds are Smaller

January lets you enjoy more secluded and peaceful travel experiences as the number of tourists decrease during this month. Popular tourist destinations such as Spain, Italy and France have fewer crowds, so you can tour places like the Le Louvre in peace and enjoy the Eiffel Tower without as many people hustling around you.

Winter Sports

If you’re an adventure-seeking woman, January is the perfect time to explore winter sports in different parts of the world. Skiing, snowboarding and other winter activities are in full swing in most places during January. Countries like Canada, Switzerland and the United States have some of the best ski resorts that offer great opportunities to enjoy these winter sports.

Unique Festivals and Events: Some of the world’s most exciting festivals and events happen in January. Travelling to new places gives you the opportunity to experience new cultures, tastes, and ideas. If you love festivities and cultural experiences, January is perfect for you. Festivals such as the Harbin Ice Festival in China, Venice Carnival in Italy, and the Sundance Film Festival in the United States all happen in January.

As a woman, travelling can be an expensive and time-consuming affair. However, January presents some pretty awesome reasons to go exploring. Whether you’re looking for adventure, the winter sports or unique experiences, January is the ideal time to start planning your travels. With fewer crowds, affordable flights and hotels in many parts of the world, and milder weather, you can have the vacation of your dreams with minimal planning and cost.
