When & Where To Travel

Where to travel and when to go are two of the most common questions I get. Here are some great destinations arranged by month of travel. Please, don’t take this list too seriously. It’s a collection of personal preferences, suggestions, and possibilities. There are more than a few contradictions and inconsistencies buried in these recommendations.

The best year-round travel destinations are Bali, Singapore, Barcelona, London, San Diego, San Francisco, and New York City.
