It does not always have to be a 6 months trip!

Trip suggestions from CompassChronicle

Well, unfortunately we can’t (yet?) travel 365 days a year. That’s why we always make shorter trips like a long weekend to Portugal in the Duoro Valley or to Haarlem or a 3-week vacation trip to Sumatra, Indonesia.
