Our immediate travel plans
Yesterday we told you about our travels during travel year 2022. Now it's time to look ahead instead. We are currently looking forward to the following trips.
1. Winter weekend in Split, Croatia
We go to Split in Croatia over Christmas! Sure, we can appreciate Christmas fun at home, but if possible, we have always preferred travelling abroad. This time it's a short trip to Split, Croatia, in cooperation with a local hotel and the Croatian Tourist Board.
We have visited Split several times in the past (most recently last spring when we were nominated for the Golden Pen Media Awards), but we have never been here in winter. Now it will be a different type of trip, with a focus on spa, food and shopping. It will be really cosy!
2. Winter Wonderland in Vorarlberg, Austria
In mid/late January we will fly to Austria(Well, if you want to be really picky, we fly to Zurich in Switzerland and go from there to Austria).
The story behind this trip is that we were invited to a press trip in Austria last year at this time. However, just before we were due to leave, we tested positive for Covid, which meant we had to cancel the trip. It was too late to cancel the tickets completely, but it was possible to postpone them for a year, so here we are!
The trip will be made just before we go on a long trip to the Philippines. We are fairly inexperienced skiers and want to not We have chosen to focus on cross-country skiing and other calmer winter activities. This will be really exciting!
3. Long trip in the Philippines for 3 months
Shortly after the Austria trip, at the end of January, it's time for us to embark on a long journey to... Philippines. While in Asia we will meet and hang out with our friends Micke and Julia, who are real adventurers (we wrote an article about their adventures as "The Swedish Camel Rider" in the our summer magazine.)
We have indeed visited the Philippines before, but it was many years ago and only a few places. Now we will be able to explore this exciting country much more! This will be a budget trip with a backpack (real backpacking!) and we will, among other things, travel around by boat. More about this later!
What about motorhome holidays?
Later in the year we will of course go on motorhome trips and other trips in Sweden and Europe. We are among those who put the motorhome away for the winter, so when we come home from the Philippines, it will be just right to bring out our motorhome FREEDOM. But we'll come back to that a little later!

Wow for the Philippines, I was there just before the pandemic and would love to go back!
We ourselves go on an island trip in the Caribbean around the same time.

Yes, it will be wonderful! The Caribbean really does not sound stupid either! Wishing a really nice trip, when the time comes!!!

Really a full roll on your travelling, so exciting.
I was going to make a drink on Friday that would have a dark rum from the Philippines in it. It is called "Don Papa" Baroko. But I didn't have it, so it had to be a made-up drink instead.
Merry Christmas to you and I look forward to following you on your travels.

What a wonderful winter you have ahead of you. Oh three months in the Philippines... all a bit jealous :). One of my favourite places in the world. Enjoy.

Three months backpacking in the Philippines doesn't sound too bad. In 2010 I did my first and only backpacking trip for about a month across India, from Chennai to the southern tip and it was a wonderful experience. Now, unfortunately, I think my shoulders say no thanks to lugging a backpack on trains and buses, so we'll have to keep up with you on the blog instead.
You have really fun plans, while we haven't really come to grips with how we want our travelling to be in 2023....

Helena says:
Wow, what an exciting trip you made in 2010!!! It will be exciting to see which destinations you choose in 2023! Wishing you a really nice Christmas so far!

So many trips you have planned for 2023, or rather the first half of 2023. Three months in the Philippines - WOW.

Ditte says:
What fun! And travelling around the Philippines for three months is special. Just the time does a lot and that you yourself "own it" Have been a couple of times to the Philippines but realise that there will be no more trips there. Will be fun to keep up with your adventures. Know that "Katta" with Katta's observations has lived here for a longer period and also told a lot then about the Philippines. Maybe she has some tips.
