Winter in Europe is not every digital nomad’s cup of tea, be it for the heavy rainfall and snow flurries or the limited amount of daylight.

Following the launch of the Maya Train last year, Mexico looks set to host yet another major railway project, with construction set to start as soon as early 2025: As local media reports, it’s a new tourist town from Mexico City to Queretaro, one of the best-preserved––and most beautiful, at that––historic cities in the country …

We all know Mexico for its pristine white sand beaches and luxurious resorts lining turquoise seas, and let’s face it, if you’re after some pampering, there’s nowhere better to get it than Cancun, Tulum, and the like.

If you’re heading south of the border this winter, but Cancun, Cabo and Puerto Vallarta don’t exactly fit your current budget––we get it, $600-a-night for a resort stay is a bit much––have you ever considered a lesser-known, arguably more authentic Mazatlan? Lining the Pacific Coast, it combines the Old World charm of the colonial era …

Perhaps to the surprise of many, Lonely Planet elected a lesser-known city in France that tourists often ignore as the best city to travel in 2025.

With all this talk of Cancun, Punta Cana, Paris and whatnot, you may be feeling a little left out if you didn’t make plans to go abroad this winter, but in all honesty, why should you?
