Maybe some of you already had a vacation this year, while others wait for the warm summer months to come and then have a break. It is not necessary that you have a vacation every year at the same time. You may like to have some time off from work in the spring when the weather is warm and the sun is bright, but it is not too hot for you that you cannot breath. Or you could be a fan of the summer and would like to go to the beach. Winter is also a great season if you are a fan of the winter sports or you just like to cuddle with your lover in front of a fireplace and drink wine. The good news is that you can have whatever your heart desires. We have prepared for you a list of the best places to travel each month of the year.
