Given that I travel constantly,I generally prefer visiting places in the off season, or at least shoulder season. For example, and I was in Amsterdam final July,and found it borderline unpleasant due to how many tourists it was overrun with.
Similarly, I've made a habit of traveling to slightly less popular destinations to celebrate the New Year. New York City, and London,Sydney, etc. -- considerable as they are -- don't really tickle my fancy on December 31.
A couple of years ago I rang in the New Year in Edinburgh, and this past year I was in Copenhagen. And while I would certainly prefer a warmer climate,I had a considerable time in both.
I'm hoping to plan holiday travel further in advance in the future, and my general goal is to visit lower key resort destinations, or as I believe that would be a relaxing way to ring in the New Year.
