M umairTravel is an essential part of life as it exposes you to life beyond your environment. It also allows you to develop a strong understanding of cultural differences. Experiencing diverse cultures firsthand helps break down stereotypes and prejudices, leading to a more inclusive and tolerant society. Traveling also encourages the ability to step out of one’s comfort zone, which builds confidence in problem-solving skills. We also experience a sense of gratitude when traveling to appreciate our lives on return, as there is a less fortunate world out there. Although souvenirs are a must when abroad, we can also educate ourselves on current climate issues and understand to what length poverty can impact communities. However, there is also the beauty of journaling the lessons you have learned and ensuring you make a difference with your new experiences. Travelling often leads to meeting new people, forming relationships and expanding your network. Here are a few locations we’ve selected to give you inspiration to travel in 2024.
Qatar
Qatar is a beautiful destination for travelers as it consists of some of the most stunning beaches in the world with aqua-blue waters. Experience the capital, Doha, where you can witness breathtaking landmarks and modern developments and explore museums. Walk through one of the oldest markets in the city of Doha called Souq Waqif. Rich in spices and clothing, enjoy flamboyant, colorful pieces and signature aromas. We also recommend visiting Katara Cultural Village for a chance to appreciate the mosques with intricate tile patterns, art galleries, and more. Although there are ongoing conflicts taking place in parts of the Middle East, such as the current Gaza Emergency Appeal, Qatar is a safe zone.
Mauritius
Mauritius is a beautiful tropical paradise filled with endless adventures. Experience beautiful landscapes with immaculate beaches. Mauritius consists of everything from a relaxing vacation at Long Beach to a stroll in the modern capital of Port Louis. We recommend visiting the Tropical South West of Mauritius. There is a dormant volcano called Trou aux Cerfs; due to the nature of metals during the volcanic activity period, the earth turned multicolored, displaying vibrant ripples of colors. There is also a private tour available that takes visitors into three parks and consists of multiple activities. You can experience waterfalls, ziplining, interactions with animals and a private dinner.
Switzerland
Switzerland has been showcasing in everybody’s Instagram feeds for all the right reasons. Switzerland is a landlocked country in Europe. It entails breathtaking views filled with greenery and life. No matter which angle you approach the country from, there is something for everyone to do. Visit Matterhorn Sport for the opportunity to ski in postcard-perfect mountains. You can also visit Chateau de Chillon, which is a castle in Veytaux, to experience this historical monument. The mountains, lakes and villages await your arrival.
Vietnam
When talking about a potential vacation location to travel to, Vietnam is very rarely mentioned. We want to change your thoughts by encouraging you to feel inspired by Vietnam’s majestic gems. Take a tour through their monsoon forests and experience their wildlife. Get picked up at Hanoi Old Quarter and experience a full day at Halong Bay. Visit a cave or an island, swim and undergo a kayak tour. A fun day full of activities. After experiencing all the fun, you will need a well-deserved meal, so indulge in Vietnamese cuisine and taste dishes like Pho, Banh Mi, Mi Quang and more.
