Questions people ask
Is December a good month to travel alone?
Every month is, provided you match the destination to the season rather than the other way round. In December the reliable choices are Koh Phangan, Thailand, Nosara, Costa Rica, Oaxaca, Mexico.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four months for most departures. December, February and September fill fastest because the weather is dependable across several regions at once.

Then pick by season first and theme second. Tell us your window on any route page and we will say plainly whether that month is a good idea there.
