This week the travel world was dominated by Tourism Australia’s genius move to use Crocodile Dundee, Danny McBride, Chris Hemsworth, and almost every Australian celebrity you can think of to lure you to Australia this year. There are sales on flights from America to Australia along with deals on great packages that’ll take you all over the country in the lap of luxury. If you’re hyped on going down under, now’s the time to book that travel.

We also got some great highlights from less traveled corners of the world like Lake Baikal in the eastern reaches of Russia and the magical canyons of Havasupai in Arizona. Let’s dive in!

AUSTRALIA

How many of us saw the Tourism Australia promos during the Super Bowl and, now, really want that movie to exist? Well, until it does, you’ll just have to head Down Under yourself. Check out this week’s cheap flights for some great deals.

LAKE BAIKAL, RUSSIA

Lake Baikal is the epitome of over the hills and far away. The lake is the world’s largest and deepest freshwater body by volume and contains 23 percent of the entire globe’s fresh water. That’s mind-boggling to consider. It’s also one of the most picturesque and wild corners of the planet. You can fly into Irkutsk and head over. Or, embrace real adventure and board the Trans-Siberian in Vladivostok or Moscow to arrive by rail. Either way, it might be time to check on Russian visa prices.

HAVASUPAI INDIAN RESERVATION

The Havasupai (literally Blue Water People) live in one of the most magical corners of the planet. The bright red canyons branch off the Grand Canyon to create a web of walled valleys teaming with bright blue water. You’ll have to apply for a permit to gain access to the area from the Havasupai Indian Reservation and they are limited. It’s also recommended you pay for a local guide to lead you in and around. Tourism is a huge part of the struggling Havasupai economy and your support is important.

OAHU

It’s always time to go to Hawaii. The volcanic islands should be on everyone’s bucket list. Seeing Oahu all over Instagram this week was a good reminder that it might be time to get out there and live that island life for a spell.

PATAGONIA

Patagonia is another spot that’s one almost everyone’s bucket list. It’s a drastic spot full of massive glaciers, the craggiest of peaks, and a land that’s still very wild. It might be time to check Argentina and Chile off your travel list.

#VANLIFE

Living the Van Life in winter feels like it’d be the hardest time for that lifestyle. The weather is cold, rainy, icy, and snowy. That being said, if you love the snow, it’s ski season. Or, since you’re in a moving house, you can just drive your way to sunny weather. Sounds like a win all around.
