The 15 Best Winter Destinations in Europe
In most parts of Europe, summer is peak tourism season. But I definitely prefer traveling Europe during winter. One of the best parts of winter is the holiday season. And no one does Christmas better than Europeans. The Christmas markets alone make it worth traveling during the colder months. For the adventurous travelers, a huge bucket list item is generally skiing in the Alps. Other winter sports are also available, like snowboarding and snowshoeing. Of course, crowds aren’t as bad as they are during summer, and because it’s off-peak season, most cities are cheaper during winter. Even flights and accommodation are generally more affordable.

Where to Stay in Paris: The Top 8 Neighbourhoods
Paris is a fantastic destination. But choosing where to stay in Paris is a key element to planning a perfect trip. If you don’t do your research, you might end up in one of the surrounding areas like I did when I visited. Paris is divided into twenty numbered Arrondissements (districts). Many of the less expensive accommodations you’ll find in Paris are actually located in the districts on the outer parts of the city.

Staying healthy while traveling is one of the most important things to make sure that you have a good trip. One of the worst things that can happen while you’re in a foreign country is getting sick.
