Anyone travelling for the winter holidays?

I’m definitely in the “planning mode” for winter travel this year! After wrapping up a few busy months, I’m hoping to combine some relaxation and adventure — likely somewhere with great landscapes and activities to break up the usual holiday hustle.

For me, that usually means balancing a bit of city life with something active and outdoorsy. Last winter I did an evening desert safari in Dubai, and the mix of dune bashing, sunset views, and cultural camp dinner made it one of the most memorable trips I’ve had. It’s the perfect example of how travel can be both exciting and refreshing during the holidays.

Would love to hear where everyone else is heading — especially if you’re into unique or off-the-beaten-path destinations!

nothing planned for Winter holidays as i am now too prone to chilly climates.
did plan for 2026 travel to China Hangzhou.
China is now a prime focus for travel - partly due to the aggressive marketing and promotions in many partners such as Trip.com and such.
