Still itching to find out where would you travel paradise be? This is part two of my story on where your star might take you on your next journey… (read part one here).
SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOVEMBER-21 DECEMBER
Paradise found: Kenya, Antarctica
You’re the daredevil, the honey badger of travel and proud to be one. You’re consumed by wanderlust and have most probably ticked off a lot of popular travel destinations early in your life. From a very young age you’re driven by the quest for the most off-the-beaten track experience. The exhilaration from any adrenaline-pumping activities such as wildlife safari in Kenya and diving in the below freezing waters of Antarctica keeps your soul alive. You’re determined to make a conquest of any territories and experiences labelled as ‘not for the faint-hearted’.
CAPRICORN: 22 DECEMBER-20 JANUARY
Paradise found: Queensland Coast in Australia
You treasure inner peace and pampering time during your journey. You seek places to step away from rat race for holiday. Being a highly focused thinker, you need an empowering environment to connect with yourself, feeling good, eating well and staying healthy while you travel. Yoga retreats in the Gold Coast hinterland, turtle conservatory in Bargara and excluded island resorts on the Great Barrier Reef are where you pamper your mind, body and soul.
AQUARIUS: 21 JANUARY-19 FEBRUARY
Paradise found: Oman, Kathmandu, Vietnam
You seek places that are quirky, unusual and off the beaten track for holiday. Stepping into the local eateries in Hoi An where every imaginable parts of cows or pigs are on the menu simply feed your curiosity for things unusual. The extraordinary architecture of Mutrah Souq in Oman and GoldenTemple in Kathmandu steal your breath. You don’t mind roughing it in hostels, in fact, the experience of meeting and sharing travel tales with fellow explorers enliven your journey.
PISCES: 20 FEBRUARY-20 MARCH
Paradise found: Paris, Cote d’Azur, Provence, Disneyland
You’re a romanticist, a dreamer who’s slightly out of touch with the real world. You believe in the stories of beautiful encounters with your Mr Right at sunset on the Love Lock Bridge in Paris. You’re waiting for that moment when you exchange smiles with a beautiful stranger (preferably a Frenchman who speaks English with a strong accent) while strolling along Promenade de Anglais in Cote d’Azur. For you travel is not so much about ticking off a list of sights to see or things to do, it is about how your feel and being able to freeze that travel moment, keep it in a bottle and take home as your souvenir.
ARIES: 21 MARCH-20 APRIL
Paradise found: Barcelona, Madrid
You’re the one who wear the little red dress watching flamenco in a Barcelona tablao. You’re fiery, passionate and a born-to-be leader. As a fire sign, you travel to places where the sun shines the brightest. Going somewhere exotic plus actually doing something unusual such as throwing tomatoes at La Tomatina is the formula for your perfect holiday!
TAURUS: 21 APRIL-21 MARCH
Paradise found: Tokyo, Hong Kong and London
I’ve learnt a thing or two about you, Taureans, from my BFF. This simple recipe of trip planning for Taureans never fails: culinary delights (either hawker style street food or Michelin-starred restaurants), luxurious suites, easy to navigate cities and massive air-conditioned shopping malls! Tokyo, Hong Kong and London tick all your boxes as ‘safe and fun’ destinations. As much as you like all things pampering in the big cities, you enjoy being in serene surroundings close to nature too, that is though, without too much sweating or physical exertion.
So tell me where do you think you’ll find your travel paradise? Do you feel your star sign has hinted where you should head to next? Leave your comments if you’re surprised by how much I read your mind, my fellow travelettos! x
