The Year of Traveling By Allison Pinski

2016 is the year of travel. Even with March coming to an end, you still have plenty of time to explore the world (or even your home state).

If you're lacking inspiration, try looking at the New York Times' list of 52 places to travel to in 2016, Lonely Planet's lists for the top countries and cities to visit, and National Geographic's album of the best spring trips for 2016.

While international travel can get expensive, staying local is much cheaper and equally as fulfilling. Look for events in nearby states or cities (or pick a city to spend the weekend in).

Some cool events coming up this year are the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. and Coachella in California. Look around for things you might be interested in and plan a trip!
