3 Best Places to Spend Christmas
The week between Christmas Eve and New Year’s is the only time in the whole entire year that laziness is not only tolerated but also encouraged. This whole year you’ve been working so hard that you deserve to take a trip somewhere festive and fun and start off the new year well. So here are some of the best places to go to for Christmas.
New York, New York
New York has something about it that makes it seem absolutely magical in the holidays. The entire city is covered in lights, and you can do pretty much everything here including reenacting your favorite Christmas movie. So if you decide to go to New York be sure to visit the Rockefeller Center and the light display at Saks Fifth Avenue.
Seville, Spain
During the winter season, Seville transforms into a citywide light display, giving you so may spots to take Insta-worthy pics. Seville is also known for the overflowing Christmas markets and nativity scenes. If you decide to visit Seville, I suggest stopping in the Feria de Artesanía Creativa, which is a Christmas market dedicated to art made by local artists.
Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo is known for its beautiful “winter illuminations” when the most of the city is covered in lights. The Christmas lights in the Shiodome, which is a 47-story mall, are seriously impressive and will make you feel like you’ve just stepped into a winter wonderland. The shopping distrcits in Tokyo are always decorated with the best Christmas light, so you can watch the beautiful lights while you shop till you drop.

5 Most Beautiful Places in the World
There are so many amazing places all around the world, that I couldn’t include all of them in this one list; however, these breathtaking destinations are definitely worth adding to your travel bucket list.
Banff National Park, Canada
The lakes in this Canadian park have some of the bluest waters you’ve ever seen. Even if you don’t particularly like the outdoors (literally me), you can still enjoy these amazing views from a cozy lakeside lodge.
Zhangye Danxia Geopark, China
This place is perfect for geology lovers and devoted instagrammers. The Zangye Danxia Geopark seems unrealistic, but I can ensure you this place is very much real. The colors were formed by a crazy complicated science explanation resulting in this mountain being called the “Rainbow Mountains.” This place also looks straight out of the movie Lorax.
Japan in Cherry Blossom Season
Although Japan is always beautiful, it’s especially beautiful during the cherry blossom season.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
With underwater bungalows, coral reefs, and turquoise lagoons, this island is basically heaven on Earth.
Oia, Santorini, Greece
Even though all Greeks islands are undeniably beautiful, this Oia has some breathtaking of the bright blue Aegean views that you can’t miss.

If you had the choice to live anywhere in the world where would it be? According to a new research report the only practical answer is Vienna, Austria.
Vienna has been deemed the most livable city in the world two years in a row by The Economist Intelligence Unit. What is the reason for this prized position? Things like quality public transportation, low crime, healthcare availability, and great education helped Vienna earn this top spot. Coming in a close second is Melbourne, Austrailia followed by Sydney, Austrailia, and Osaka, Japan.
Back in March, Mercer came to the conclusion that Vienna was the most livable city after considering the same factors. Both Mercer and The Economist Intelligence Unit also mentioned the city’s culture as another reason for its great living conditions. This city also has a diverse art scene that includes the historic Belvedere Museum and the Secession Gallery.
