5 Trip Ideas for Summer 2017

With summer 2017 just round the corner, there is no better time to start making exciting travel plans. Whether you’re in the middle of exams right now or are sweltering in your office, planning your perfect summer is bound to make you feel better. Of course, not everyone has the same idea of what constitutes the ideal summer trip. Some people like to laze around on a beach and move only when they need to eat, whereas others like to be constantly on the go. Fortunately, we’ve got all bases covered with our list of 5 amazing trip ideas for your summer 2017.

Lombok for Beach

If all you want to do this summer is work on your tan and splash around in the ocean then Lombok is the perfect destination. Lie around on Senggigi Beach soaking up those blissful tropical rays or sip cocktails at one of the beach bars. And, if you get bored of this beach, you can hop on a boat and head over to the Gili Islands for yet more beautiful beach-ery.

Tanzania for Adventure

Tanzania is one of the ultimate adventure destinations in the world. Start off your jam-packed itinerary with a trip through one of the national parks in search of the Big 5. Once you’ve had your fill of animal spotting, why not give Kilimanjaro a climb. Known as the ‘mountain than anyone can climb’ this colossal mountain is certainly no mean feat so make sure you’re prepared for the challenge.

Switzerland for Nature

The rolling hills and glassy lakes that pepper Switzerland’s landscape have been the inspiration for numerous artists, writers and poets and once you see them you’ll realise why. Switzerland is natural beauty encompassed. While you won’t get to hit the ski slopes if you go in summer, there is plenty of enjoyment to be had by walking along the country’s verdant hiking routes.

Mexico for Foodie

You’ve never had real Mexican food until you’ve eaten it from a cart along the side of the road in Oaxaca. Mexico is a taste sensation with guacamole on tap and tacos filled to the brim with spicy delights. Travel around this vast country sampling its culinary delights and wash it all down with a healthy swig of tequila. It might not be the healthiest holiday of your life but it will certainly be the most delicious.

Italy for Culture

Italy might seem like too obvious a choice for those seeking a bit of culture for summer 2017 but it simply has to be on this list. With more beautiful cities than anywhere else in the world, Italy is the hub of our civilisation and has ancient wonders around every corner. Ogle at the Coliseum in Rome, float along the canals of Venice or visit a gallery in Florence. This is a one-stop culture destination.
