Serenade the Seasons: Where to Journey When
Each season paints the Earth with a unique palette and every destination has its own charm. Let us take you through this journey as we unfold the best destinations to visit throughout the year:
Spring – Japan
Nothing quite represents the lucidity of spring than the drifting petals of cherry blossoms in Japan. Bedazzling hues of pink and white dance around amid the sky as hanami (flower viewing) parties take place under these ethereal bowers. The cherry blossoms signal the rebirth and renewal of life, a spring tradition that has been celebrated for centuries.
Summer – Greece
Crystal blue waters glittering under a golden sun, white buildings dotting the landscape, the hum of cicadas and the allure of Mediterranean cuisine – Greece is a siren’s call to summer lovers. The Greek islands, particularly Santorini and Mykonos with their fairytale-like charm, make for an idyllic summer getaway.
Autumn – New England, USA
The onset of Autumn turns New England into a canvas of auburn, amber, burgundy, and gold. This spectacle is celebrated with fall festivals complete with farm rides, hay mazes, pumpkin patches, and warm apple ciders.
Winter – Norway
Northern Norway provides enchanting winter experiences – from the ethereal Northern Lights to the regal snow-dusted landscapes. Husky sledding, ice fishing and visiting indigenous Sami communities offer an unforgettable Arctic adventure.
