For many in the Northern hemisphere, the weeks leading up to Christmas mean a frenzy of year-end business meetings, cocktails and dinners, even gift-buying all crammed into shorter days as the sun sets earlier and earlier.

The chill in the air has us donning our thickest coats, gloves and hats and craving all sorts of hot libations. For many, year-end also means time off work anticipating fun times traveling with family and friends.

Whether your ideal plans involve snowy wintery mountain scenes snuggling around a crackling fire sipping glögg after a day zipping down the ski slopes or escaping to the warmest spot you can imagine to soak up loads of vitamin D, at SEP you will always find the perfect accessories. Here’s speaking to you Australia, South Africa, India, Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean, and the desert and the vast Middle East - ideal escapes during the chilly winter months!

If your upcoming travel plans will take you to one of these warm locales or simply if you’re tired of itchy wool and numb fingers and dream for a warm escape, we’ve got some sizzling ideas for you! 

Firstly, your “journey” doesn’t involve only choosing where on the map you’ll go, what to pack, or what to consider about the local pandemic measures at your destination. Rather, the journey invites bringing a human story into focus. Simply put, making travel and its impact as a #forceforgood.

At Afar (#afarmag and @afarmedia), Travel as a Force for Good, they’ve highlighted 12 destinations to find winter sun: https://www.afar.com/magazine/12-great-beaches-for-winter-sun. They’re keen to get you on your way by providing the best guides and tips all with sustainability and positive impact in mind. And, just like SEP, they understand that each step, each decision, and each gesture all make a direct difference to the environment, to each other, and to the world we want to create.
