Best Gifts for Travelers: Where and When to Go

Classify the destinations by the month in which it is best to visit them and then explain the strong points of each one, highlighting whether they are more cultural trips, or relaxing trips, or adventure trips , if they have good value for money, if they have the option to enjoy fauna and nature…

I love it as a travel gift idea because at the beginning of the section each month there are three super interesting diagrams : one that asks you questions to decide which destination best suits you based on what you are looking for, one with the usual climate of the destinations in that month and another that classifies destinations based on four super interesting variables (for the whole family, without children, good price or expensive but worth it).
