If 2023 travel was defined by a need to make up for lost time, 2024 is an opportunity to pump the brakes—to look up, turn in, get lost, and ride along. This is the year of unplugging and reconnecting with yourself, your community, and, just maybe, acquiring a new hobby. You’ll find that this year is filled with opportunities to buoy the spirit and marvel at the universe. It’s a year of the eclipse; a year in which the northern lights will likely reveal their splendor farther south than they have in perhaps a decade; a year in which it’s never been easier to catch a wave, even 100 miles from the ocean; and a year in which getting a good night’s rest is truly all you need to accomplish on vacation. At our link in bio, we’ve compiled 12 stories that offer a look at a pursuit or experience that illustrates this mindset. We hope they act as inspiration for the year to come—the beginnings of your very own 2024 mood board. #2024MoodBoard
