Where We’re Traveling in 2026
Here at Moon Travel Guides, it’s no secret that we love to travel! We asked our staff to share their travel plans and dreams for 2026.
California
“We’re taking a family road trip and renting a campervan in San Francisco. We’re planning on driving down to Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur and staying at campgrounds. We’ll be using Moon Monterey & Carmel, of course, but I’m excited to have an early copy of the brand-new guidebook Moon Best of California State Parks to guide us in our camping travels!”
-Lindsay, Marketing Director
The Northeast
“In May, my friends and I are doing a ‘throwback’ tour of New England! I lived on the East Coast for 7 years but haven’t been back in forever, so we’re flying into Portland, Maine and hitting all the classics: devouring Duckfat’s iconic poutine, relaxing in a cozy sauna, visiting my college campus in Brunswick (go u bears!), shopping at L.L. Bean, and all the other must-dos! Then, we’ll drive down to Boston and spend a few days in my favorite city, making sure to catch a Red Sox or Celtics game at our go-to sports bar, stroll down Commonwealth Street, and eat Tatte for every single breakfast.”
-Brittney, Marketing Assistant
The Southwest
“I’m trying to visit at least one new state a year, and in 2026 I’m dreaming of a trip to New Mexico! I would love to explore the desert in White Sands National Park, check out Santa Fe’s art scene, and eat as many foods containing green chiles as possible.”
-Amara, Associate Marketing Manager
Hawaii
“I’m going to Maui in late January with my family! I’m excited to go whale-watching, feast at a luau, and most of all relax on the beach.”
-Hannah, Manager, Managing Editorial
“I will be traveling to Maui in January 2026 for my 40th birthday. I hope to watch the sunset from the summit of Haleakalā, go on a whale-watching dinner cruise, and eat my weight in Haupia desserts. If all else fails, there’s always the beach and my trusty to-be-read list of books!”
-Ravina, Senior Production Designer
From endless golden beaches and legendary surf to epic outdoor adventures, a week in paradise awaits with advice from Hawaii insider Greg Archer.
“I’m planning a spring visit to Oahu! Looking forward to snacking on spam musubi while enjoying the view from the summit of a ridge trail.”
-Devon, Acquisitions Editor
Europe
“I’m headed to Mont Blanc this year. It will be a year of training to get into hiking trim by September. Wish us luck! There is elevation involved with this trek.”
-Kat, Cartography Director
“I’m dreaming of a trip to France this year. I’d love to revisit Paris, then travel west to Giverny to stroll Monet’s garden, go to the coast to visit the abbey at Mont-Saint-Michel, and see the dramatic cliffs at Étretat …all bucket list experiences for me!”
-Claire, Marketing Manager
South Africa
“We’re planning a visit to Cape Town, South Africa that will be 50% a family trip and 50% an “escape the brutal Massachusetts winter” trip. I’m looking forward to basking on the beach in the sun with the gorgeous mountains surrounding me!”
-Alex, Associate Marketing Manager
Mexico
“My family will be traveling to Los Barriles, a beach town on the East Cape of Baja California Sur in Mexico. There will be lots of relaxing on the beach, chowing down on local seafood, and bonding with extended family. And excitingly, my Moon guide informs me that this area is emerging as a world-class kiteboarding and windsurfing destination, so maybe a lesson or two is in store!”
-Brittney, Marketing Assistant
