Traveling in a Winter Wonderland

Hey travel gurus!

For some (actually most), the bitter cold of the winter season makes us want to do little more than cuddle up on our sofas and drink hot chocolate and eat the most unhealthy food items this world has to offer. Although everyone occasionally needs this type of stress and consequence free time in their lives, it shouldn't become a routine, especially if there are great things out there waiting to be experienced during the winter time.

1.) Sledding. Sledding on the slopes is a great way to get physical activity in your schedule while also having fun and enjoying the unique weather conditions. You don’t need me to tell you how much fun gliding down a soft mountain of snow with the brisk air hitting your face is. Heading out on the nearest hill and going for a sled can be a great way to spend your day and nothing is better than cuddling up with those you love for hot cocoa afterwards. Honestly why aren’t you sledding right now? Just stop whatever you’re doing right now and go. Nothing bad can come out of it.

2.) Festivals. If the city you’re living usually has a snowy winter, chances are there is a winter festival somewhere nearby. These functions can be a magical way to spend your winter day and involve activities suitable for all. Outdoor such as winter sports, sledding, tractor tours, and indoor activities such as food tastings, auctions, crafts and theatrical shows can usually be found. These are a great way to spend time with those you love and can help you embrace the winter spirit rather than living in denial in your room watching Netflix.
3.) Stay inside. Sometimes, there is nothing you truly want more than to just stay home and watch movies which is a great idea in and of itself. And some days the weather just might not allow for an outdoor endeavor. Group together some special people or go solo and pick out some movies and yummy treats to enjoy during you cozy night in. Make some warm drinks, play some games and just enjoy the simplicity of having fun with the people you love most at home.
4.) Travel somewhere else. If all else fails and nothing can truly make you appreciate the winter time then going someplace warner can be a nice and much hotter break from the bitter cold you have to live in every day. If your budget isn’t big enough to allow a monthly trip to the Bahamas, try to look for nearby states that are having better luck in terms of weather than you are. A rustic and simple road trip may be just what you need to feel happy during the winter season.

I hope this helped in giving you ideas on how to do more during the winter and motivate to get up, go out and do more with your life, even in the coldest days of the year.
Stay toasty and have fun!
