After spring break we will be one step closer to our favorite season. Yes, ladies, it is almost summer and spring semester is coming to end. If you’re still trying to figure out your summer travel plans, check out these travel destinations below. Traveling has become more accessible over the past few years and with the help of social media, you can find some ideas to get that perfect summer getaway. Here are some incredible travel destinations to get you inspired for this new season! 

Maldives

The Maldives is a tropical nation in the Indian Ocean. It is known for its beaches and blue lagoons (perfect for your swim lover out there). You can travel with some friends or family rent a surf boat and just island hop. There’s nothing more fun than living on a boat in the middle of the Indian Ocean with friends and traveling. It’s the perfect end to a summer destination. 

Buenos Aires

The capital of Argentina is a great place to visit. Want to learn how to dance? Well, you came to the right place, because Buenos Aires is home to the Tango. For fun and comfort, imagine having a meaty dinner with a glass of red wine surrounded by the beautiful people and surroundings of this country. 

Thailand

This expensive trip is to die for. You have beautiful scenery to see, boat rides to take you around and plenty of adventurous things to do. Go on an elephant ride or one of Thailand’s island zip lines. Did you know, an hour-long massage is only five dollars and to rent a cabana on the beach is only ten dollars?! I know, only in Thailand! You can even rent a motor pad and travel some of their islands.

Cape town

One of the most multi-racial cities in the world. This is a city that, despite some of their challenges, is an example of peace and hope to South Africa.  Good beaches, great weather, wine, safaris and much more! This city in Africa sits at the southern tip of its continent. Cape Town has it all with an amazing blend of European and African culture.

New York City

Any time of the year is honestly the best time to visit New York. This place has something for everyone to do. It’s that place where you come to live out your dreams, like Carrie Bradshaw from “The Carrie Diaries.” You can enjoy being a tourist by visiting the Empire State Building, World Trade Center or even the Statue of Liberty. Everyone should at list visit New York once in their lifetime, you won’t regret it.
