Get Ahead of the Winter Blues: 4 Sunny Adventures to Put on Your Calendar

Sunset over the water in Guatemala

The holidays will be here before we know it (crazy, right). While we all love the festivities that tag along, we also know what follows: shorter days, colder temperatures, and a long stretch until spring. Bleh.

If you’re anything like us, then you’ll know that having something on the calendar to look forward to makes the wet, cold, dark winter all the more bearable. From snorkeling with sea lions to exploring ancient Maya ruins, these four adventures of ours offer a change of scenery worth getting excited about. Take a February break, or choose another month that works for you. Consider it a choose-your-own-adventure moment! An early festive gift to yourself, from yourself, to count down to in anticipation.

Here are four TTY adventures you can look forward to in 2027:

Galápagos: Where the Wildlife Steals the Show

If your ideal getaway involves more than lounging in a beach chair, the Galápagos delivers. Kayak alongside sea turtles, spot and snorkel with sea lions, and watch blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, and marine iguanas go about their business in the most gorgeous of habitats.

Beyond the animals, explore volcanic landscapes, wander through lava tunnels, kayak through mangroves, and hike to spectacular island viewpoints. Sunrise yoga or sunset stretches offer a chance to slow down between adventures. It’s a week of wild discoveries that makes a pretty compelling case for packing your hiking shoes. The perfect opposite to sitting idly on your couch.

Currently one male roommate spot remaining on our Jan 30-Feb 6, 2027 Galapagos adventure!

Mexico: Desert Landscapes, Pacific Views, and Whale Encounters

Baja California Sur pairs coastal charm with a slower pace. Explore the laid-back town of Todos Santos, take a surf lesson, savor fresh tacos, and roll out your mat overlooking the Pacific. Between beach time and local adventures, there’s plenty of room to do as much (or as little) as you like.

Venture to Magdalena Bay, when the remarkable grey whales arrive with their calves. Spend time on the water, kayak through protected mangrove estuaries, and sleep at a glamping camp beneath the stars. 

Currently one female roommate spot remaining on our Feb 13-20, 2027 Mexico adventure!

Guatemala: Culture, Color, and Ancient Wonders

In Antigua, colorful colonial architecture, bustling markets, and volcano views set the scene for a few days of exploration. Taste your way through local street food, browse artisan stalls, and meet the women keeping traditional weaving techniques alive. There’s plenty to discover beyond the guidebook, too.

Then head north to explore jungle landscapes, meet community members preserving traditional crafts, and wander among the magnificent Maya temples of Tikal. Between rooftop yoga, local flavors, and ancient ruins rising above the forest canopy, Guatemala delivers a rich mix of cultural discovery and natural beauty. And trust us, this adventure is like nothing you’ve experienced before. The perfect way to start a new year.

Currently five rooms remaining on our Feb 21-28, 2027 Guatemala adventure!

Colombia: Come for the Culture, Stay for the Rhythm

In Medellín, discover vibrant street art, meet local creatives, and try your hand at painting your own graffiti. Visit a family-run ceramics workshop, learn about Colombian coffee from an expert, and experience the countryside’s lush landscapes and farm-fresh cuisine.

Then head to Cartagena, where colorful streets, Caribbean rhythms, and a lively food scene turn up the energy. Learn to salsa, get hands-on with local cooking, and spend a day swimming and snorkeling around the Rosario Islands. With yoga woven throughout the adventure, there’s plenty of time to recharge between cultural discoveries. Who needs a winter hibernation when you could be dancing in Colombia?

Currently eight rooms remaining on our Mar 6-13, 2027 Colombia adventure!
