Aaaah.. January. It's cold, you're broke, and summer seems sooo far away. However, January also means that you are starting from scratch with all of your vacation days at your disposal. It's time to start dreaming about all the cities and countries you can travel to this year - and maybe even start booking some things - what a great way to pass time in January.

It's time to break out the travel books and read travel blogs and start dreaming about all the possibilities in 2017. It's a new year which means you have many new experiences to look forward to and new places to discover.

Get inspired by creating a day-to-day calendar or monthly calendar of your past travels or places you would like to go... or simply buy one from Lonely Planet :)
