What: We have a hard time imagining a year when adventure travel will not be on trend, but it is moving in a different direction in 2019. This year, it will not necessarily be about throwing yourself off cliffs with little more than a piece of rope to save you, but getting way off the beaten track. We are talking about losing the track entirely and burrowing into the massively underrated gems of the world.

Where: Faroe Islands of Denmark

Who: Ox, Horse and Rat

Why: The Ox will love the peace of being somewhere quiet’ while the energetic Horse and the smart Rat will enjoy being among the first to Instagram their way around areas less travelled.
