As the coldest months of the year are upon us and the lack of sunshine is really starting to kill everyone’s vibe, now is the perfect time to start thinking about using those vacation days and heading somewhere warm.

Oh yes, were talking about spring break.

But not the spring break you see in movies where there’s just a sea of students chasing down Jell-O shots. We’re talking about a grown up spring break that’s filled with excitement and fun, while still allowing you to relax and recharge.

So stop simply day dreaming about taking a vacation and actually take off.

Kauai’s North Shore is a stunning setting, filled with lush taro fields, heavenly beaches and spectacular sea cliffs.

Costa Alegre, Mexico 
While were used to seeing the wild side of spring break in Mexico, it’s not out of the question to enjoy a more tranquil escape in the same region.

U.S. Virgin Islands 
If prefer staying really active while your hanging at the beach, make your way to the U.S. Virgin Islands where the outdoor activities are endless. Spend your days sailing, hiking, deep sea fishing, or snorkelling in the crystal clear water at Trunk Bay. Not to mention that you’ll be eating and drinking well on this island. Since bearing the American flag, there are plenty of recognizable dining options, but traditional cuisine of the Virgin Islands still dominates the food scene. The best places to sample the authentic flavours of the islands are local restaurants, bakeries, and mobile food vans, as well as the many food fairs and fish frys that take place throughout the year.
