City Escapes: New York and Dubai - Your Perfect Autumn Getaways.
City Escapes: New York
If you're anything like me and thrive on the buzz of city life, September and October offer an exceptional window to explore two of my absolute favourite urban gems: New York and Dubai.
Let's start with the city that never sleeps – New York. If you crave action and prefer to bask in lovely warm temperatures, the Big Apple is calling your name. Personally, I can't get enough of New York in October. The weather is a dream, with temperatures hovering around a comfortable 24 degrees celsius, making it perfect for exploring the city by foot. Whether you're wandering through the lush expanse of Central Park, exploring the iconic Madison Avenue, or indulging in retail therapy on the legendary Fifth Avenue, New York has it all. If you're ready to rack up those steps, New York is your ultimate playground.
City Escapes: Dubai
If you're seeking the ultimate luxurious city escape, then Dubai in autumn is a fantastic choice. I went in July, with temperatures soaring up to a blistering 46 degrees celsius, although I still loved every minute of it! But come October/November, the city transforms into a traveler's paradise, offering much more agreeable weather with average highs up to around 35 degrees.
If you’re looking for an opulent trip away where the promise of relentless sunshine is virtually guaranteed then Dubai is the place for you. If you love a bit of retail therapy, then you are definitely going to the right place, as you can shop-til-you-drop and enjoy the most delectable cuisine, all within settings of awe-inspiring grandeur, and when night falls, Dubai's skyline is magical.
I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing Dubai at least once in your lifetime, for there truly isn't any place quite like it. The must-visit gems include the iconic Burj Khalifa, where witnessing the evening fountain show to music is an absolute must. And, of course, Dubai Mall should be at the top of your list, a retail mecca that leaves no shopping whim unfulfilled regardless of your budget.

Chasing Sunshine: Mykonos and Mexico - Late Summer Getaways.
Late Summer Sun: Mykonos
As we bid farewell to the summer, it's safe to say that this year's weather left much to be desired. July and August felt disappointingly lack-luster, leaving us all yearning for a dose of real sunshine. If you find yourself craving those rays and planning a getaway a bit later in the year, let me introduce you to two fantastic options: Mexico and Mykonos.
First up, the allure of Mykonos in September/early October is simply irresistible. The island shines even brighter as the summer crowds begin to dwindle, making it an ideal time to explore its pristine beaches, vibrant nightlife, and charming streets. With the sun still gracing you with its warm embrace, Mykonos in September is a traveler's paradise and you can still expect to bask in warm summer temperatures of 24 degrees.

Late Summer Sun: Cancun Mexico
Now, if your wanderlust has you eyeing up a slightly later dose of sunshine to ensure your vitamin D levels stay topped up for the winter, then a November escape might be what your heart desires. If so Mexico beckons with open arms.
Picture yourself basking in the golden rays on some of the world's most breathtaking beaches, savouring authentic cuisine, and delving into rich cultural experiences. Mexico in November offers that perfect blend of late sun and cultural immersion and is the perfect time as the rainy season ends and you are left with long warm days around 24C.
So, whether you're setting your sights on the chic shores of Mykonos or the vibrant landscapes of Mexico, these destinations promise the sunshine you've been yearning for. Bid farewell to those disappointing July and August days and embrace the warmth and adventure that awaits in these incredible destinations.
