Post-Christmas it’s likely you’ll be craving a winter tour somewhere warmer. Chase the sun to the southern hemisphere where places like Brazil, Australia, Costa Rica, and New Zealand are celebrating summer.

Japan is a favorite for winter holidays thanks to some of the best snow in the world, plus onsen culture and snow monkeys. If you prefer to escape to warmer weather, places like Goa, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok all enjoy tropical temperatures.
