If you are reading this, you know what I’m going to say … Happy New Year! For me personally, 2018 was quite a whirlwind! I began my new position with Global Traveler in July, moved to a new city and made some new friends and traveled to places I’d never expected!
2019 is a new year, but it isn’t always a new you; it’s a new destination, and from a recent survey, you like to share it! I recently read an article on our fabulous Global Traveler website, that featured a discussion on the most hash-tagged places in the USA, which pointed out trends in what we travelers choose to publish or publicly “tag” ourselves in the world. One of the top selections as far as beaches was the beautiful and vibrant Miami Beach. I have visited Miami Beach, and it is certainly one to add to your travel list if you have not already!
My question, though, is what inspires our travels? Starting a new year, one tends to reflect on what plans or goals are paramount to accomplish, and for our readers, travel is a top one. Besides our trips we plan for business, the driving factors vary between individuals. I believe for some it is a major life event, such as a honeymoon, that may inspire travel. For others, perhaps it’s visiting a college friend who moved and they want to see their new digs, or maybe it’s the annual family getaway that we daydream about, taking time to rest and be present and enjoy the fruits of our labors.
Whatever your travel inspirations are and whatever fuels them, please take the time to check out and sign up for our e-newsletters for each of our websites! Our brands each host original editorial content to appeal to every household. This is sure to inspire both you and your friends to seek the new year and NEW travel destinations.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
