The excitement of a new year is still fresh, and February is the perfect time to start making your 2025 travel dreams a reality. Whether you’ve already set your travel resolutions or are still deciding where to go, now is the moment to take action!
From booking early for the best deals to fine-tuning your itinerary, here’s how to keep the momentum going and turn those travel aspirations into unforgettable experiences.
1. Lock in Your Travel Plans Early
Many dream destinations book out quickly, especially for peak seasons. If you have your heart set on a European summer, a scenic river cruise, or an African safari, now is the time to secure your spot. Not only will booking early give you the best choice of accommodations and activities, but it can also help you take advantage of early-bird discounts.
Not sure where to start? I can help you find the perfect itinerary, whether it’s a guided tour, a self-drive adventure, or a luxurious cruise.
2. Consider Shoulder Season Travel
Avoiding the crowds and high prices of peak travel seasons can make your holiday even more enjoyable. Consider travelling in the shoulder seasons—spring and autumn—when destinations are less crowded, and the weather is still fantastic. Imagine the cherry blossoms of Japan in April, the golden vineyards of France in September, or the wildlife migrations of Africa in May.

4. Start Planning for Major Events & Festivals
Some of the world’s best travel experiences revolve around cultural festivals and major events. If you’ve ever dreamed of witnessing the Northern Lights Festival in Norway, celebrating Oktoberfest in Germany, or joining in the vibrant festivities of Rio Carnival, 2025 could be your year!
Popular events sell out quickly, so planning ahead is key. Let’s get your dream festival trip organised now!
5. Keep Sustainability in Mind
Eco-friendly travel is more important than ever. From staying in sustainable accommodations to choosing ethical wildlife experiences, small changes can make a big difference. Consider exploring destinations that promote responsible tourism or opting for experiences that support local communities.
