Like always I will take you around the world to the best spots to travel to, this time it’s time for March to shine.
I already shared two parts with you and would like to thank everybody for stopping by, I really appreciate it, it always takes me a long time to look for and find the best destinations to go to around the world, and I strongly believe that this enables you to travel and get more unique memories.
Today I will take you to Scandinavia, Montserrat, Indonesia and Spain, where do you see yourself go?
Here we go!
Violent Volcano
Okay maybe I have to sell this one better, a violent volcano does not really sound like great fun! But what if I tell you the people of Montserrat love St Patrick’s day! Maybe that makes this combination work.
The volcano of Montserrat is not accessible but there are great viewing points! So bring you beer and enjoy this gift of nature.
It’s also only a day trip away from other great Caribbean islands! Are you convinced now?
Northern Lights
I still want to see the Northern lights so bad, I guess that counts for everybody right? But timing is everything so let me help you a little.
The best time to see the lights is around the spring equinox witch will be around March 20th!
The Northern lights are fascinating to many, The Finns call them revontuli, the Norwegians think the lights are the spirits of maids preforming a dance. And the Sami People of Lapland thought of them as the energy created by the souls of the dead.
If doesn’t really matter what you thinks it’s there to enjoy for everyone!
So just keep your fingers crossed for a clear sky and enjoy this magical showing.
Springs most Fiery Festival
Go to Valencia between 12-19 March and you will be part of Europe’s wildest spring party. Expect huge sculptures of papier-Mache, basically every neighborhood in the city sponsors its own falla. As mentioned the celebration gets started on the 12th but best is to wait until the 18th when they set the huge sculptures on fire! Until that time they are on display all over the city, which is fun to of course.
Some sculptures reach 15meters and costs around $350K to build! So it has to all be very impressive.
quiet New Year
I myself don’t really like big celebrations for new year’s, luckily they found something for that on Bali. They celebrate during the first new moon after mid-march, this year that will be the 17th. During this day everybody gathers to play music and offer each other gives, the day after the celebration (Nyepi day) is a day of doing nothing! All human activities stop and venues are closed and no-one is allowed to leave their house of hotel.
Now that sounds like a relaxing day we all need once in a while!
Hope you liked my selection! I will be back one more time in March with the animal edition. Where would you love to go to?
And remember if you have other nice destinations I missed please let me know so we can learn together.
