Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

"I spent a week sailing along Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, and it was one of the best trips of my life — there was wifi on the boat, so I'd spend the mornings getting some work done, and then the rest of the day was swimming, soaking up some sun out on the deck, and exploring the coastal towns' dining and drinking scenes (there are a lot of local wineries in the area, so that was my MO). If you get a group together to go in on a boat rental (Sunsail is my operator of choice), it ends up being relatively affordable, and the costs on land are generally reasonable too. So after the flight costs, it's ~smooth sailing~ from there." — Céline Bossart

Mexico City, Mexico

"Mexico's capital may not have beaches, but its affordability, exciting food scene, and numerous historical and cultural attractions make it a suitable destination to visit all year round. However, there's even more reason to go in the Spring. For example, jacaranda season, spanning from mid-February to April, sees the streets lined with stunning blue-violet jacaranda flowers, which is perfect if you're trying to capture content for the 'Gram. There's also the Spring Equinox festival, taking place in nearby Teotihuacan, where revelers dance to music, chant, and, in an age-old ritual, climb the Pyramid of the Sun. The temperate evenings in the Spring also make Mexico City an ideal destination for sampling the abundant nightlife: some of the best spots to go out are in the neighborhoods of Condesa and Roma." — Oneika Raymond of Oneika the Traveller

Bangkok, Thailand

"After making it through a cold winter, what could be better than a tropical vacation? Flights to Bangkok can be found on any travel site often at a discount. I can usually find a good flight price on Skycanner or kiwi.com.
