You hate the cold. That's it, you already said it.

How many times have you dreamed of changing the hemisphere when the temperatures begin to drop? Can you imagine living all year round with a perfect climate – in which it is not a bit cold but not suffocatingly hot either? And do it while you go around the world?
Thanks to this map produced by Reservations.com, living 365 days a year with good weather is possible: you just have to follow the outlined itinerary. Can you come with us?

Their research led them to the conclusion that the ideal temperature for the majority of the population was between 21 and 24°C. Thus, they made a map that illustrates an itinerary around the world in which the temperature is at all times in that range.
“The trip would last 52 weeks. There are a total of 45 countries covered and 52 cities , with less than two days of travel between each location”, they tell us from Reservations.com.
