7. Nicaragua, Honduras & El Salvador
The beginning of the year is undoubtedly the finest time to travel through Central America, with the region’s peak weather appearing from December to March. But why do just one country when you can get though three? If you’re lucky enough to have an empty travel schedule in January.
8. Vietnam
Vietnam, like its neighbour Laos, is a safe bet in January. The weather is similarly pleasant, dry and sunny – with only slight differences between the north and south. Crowds have yet to arrive post-Christmas, so you’ve got the chance to experience this uber-popular country in relative peace.
