Cool for the summer? The hottest travel trend this season actually cools you down! With climates rising and typical summer destinations like Europe or the Caribbean hitting heatwave levels, many travelers are opting for locations offering scenic views and more comfortable temperatures.
Red Savannah, a luxury travel company that creates bespoke experiences and itineraries, is helping their clients turn typical winter destinations into the ideal summer getaway.
