Where in the World Should I Travel in March?
Posted on 2/1/18 at 12:27 am

I’ve worked my butt off (80 hour weeks for two years) and my startup is about to sell. I need some time to decompress before looking for a new job, and I want to spend 2-3 weeks traveling in March. Where should I go? I’m hoping for something new and optimal weather (not cold) and would appreciate any recommendations!
I’m fortunate in that I’ve already been to China, Southeast Asia, Australia, Brazil, France, and Italy. So preferably somewhere new. Thank you!

I'd say make it 4-5. You make never get it again. Congrats btw.
Later march is pretty nice throughout the British Isles. Tour England, Scotland, Ireland. Drink in all the pubs, distilleries/whiskey houses, enjoy the scenery.
Morocco is pretty great and there are some cool tours through the Sahara with a Berber as your guide, camp under the stars. Then go into the souks of Marrakesh, and trek up north to Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, and then Tangier.
In the same way, check out Turkey. Although it's not near as raw as Morocco is.And it may be one of the final times you go there before it starts getting too radical. Great early christian and byzantine history there. Ruins, monuments, walls, cathedrals, etc. Cappadocia mountains are pretty cool and where the old hermits and underground churches hid.
Japan is wild and crazy and fun. Add S Korea in there too
Chile/Argentina has some great food, amazing outdoor spaces, and wonderful women. I took a trip to one of the quaint German towns too, and that was neat. Santiago is a blast, and Patagonia!

Thank you! I went to Istanbul in 2014 and there were lots of riots then. Perhaps too radical now already.
Japan is my first choice but worried since it will be high 40s. Morocco may be my front-runner now

I'd go back to SEA, pick a beach in Thailand or Philippines and go have some drinks and chase some women. Or Colombia, maybe Cartagena.

If New Zealand has always been on your bucket list, bite the bullet, prep for the long haul, and journey to the other side of the world this March. While the trek is definitely a tough one, when you land in Auckland to explore the North and the South of this one-of-a-kind country, you’ll be amazed at both its beauty and wonder. From rolling lush mountains of green as far as you can see to beaches and sunsets that’ll take your breath away, there’s plenty to experience. Make sure to book a stay at the QT Gold Coast when you’re in the area, giving you the opportunity to soak up the ocean and relax before continuing on your journey. As a newly opened hotel with a modern decor, you’ll save money too!

The Galapagos Islands beckon outdoor enthusiasts no matter the time of year, but the month of March offers a few special reasons to visit. During this time, visitors have the chance to see several species nesting, including sea turtles, iguanas (both marine and land), tortoises and even penguins. Sure, the sun is intense, but nothing beats an average temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and prime underwater visibility for snorkeling and scuba diving. Additional Suggestions: New Zealand, for pleasant autumn weather; Washington D.C., for the National Cherry Blossom Festival (late March into April).

I would highly suggest Australia/New Zealand/Fiji with your time frame. Where did you go in Australia? If only Sydney, then I'd say go back and explore Uluru, Cairns, Darwin + a week long trip to north and south islands of kiwiland. If you only had a week then I'd never suggest this but with 2-3 weeks, that's the right amount of time for an Aussie vacation

If you are under 40 or so and single, personally I'd go on sometype of adventure vacation. Something that would be much harder to do later in life with a family. Yeah I'd personally take 3-4 weeks if not more. You can easily find a cheap place to stay even for a week or two at a time.
I've always wanted to travel from Berlin to Istanbul. Or maybe through somewhere else in the eastern bloc.
Maybe somewhere like India? Or South America go to the Andes/ Patagonia.
Puertugal and Spain would be a great trip. Rent a car and drive the coast of Portugal, through Spain, to France.

Check out riads on Airbnb. They are dirt cheap, and stunning as hell. You can live like a king, for $25/night. The one I stayed in when in Marrakesh was $29/night, and they make you breakfast down in the courtyard, and hot mint tea when you get back in from a long day. And really cool, nice locals who run the place.

I like the sound of Morocco, esp lodging in a traditional house.
For a 3 week trip, I'd probably do a series of cities in Europe. You could start in Berlin, then go to Prague, Vienna, Munich, Zurich.....

I have two co-workers that have said great things. One has family there and goes often. The other has done more travelling than most anyone I know and said it was the best vacation he has ever taken.
