Where to travel in 2024 according to your star sign

1.Aries_Mexico.png

Bright, passionate, fiery, adventurous, Aries is a sign that loves new challenges. This year, why not explore Mexico for a destination full of vibrance and excitement? You can go swimming with whale sharks, explore ancient Mayan ruins, and party until the sun comes up.

Currency: Mexican Peso (MXN) and United States Dollar (USD)

Travel Money Tip:  We recommend taking a blend of both currencies – you’ll often get better rates using the local currency (MXN pesos) and it’ll be accepted everywhere, however it’s good to have some US dollars as well as sometimes tours and activities will be priced in dollars. With USD, take smaller denominations when possible. Not sure how much to budget for Mexico? Read our blog to find out!  And while you’re at it, take a squiz at our Money Smart Tips for Travelling Latin America blog too.

Geminis are witty, smart, hilarious, and playful social butterflies. So, you’ll need somewhere with a great social scene- like ski towns in Canada. You can spend the days shredding the powdery slopes, and the nights partying in the hostels with your brand new friends! Don’t forget to catch an ice hockey match for an electric atmosphere and unforgettable experience.

Currency: Canadian Dollar (CAD)

Travel Money Tip: Some people say the Canadian Dollar smells like maple syrup! We’ll leave that up to you, but make sure you take enough to buy some maple butter to spread on your morning Montreal-style bagels, and load up a Currency Pass prepaid travel card in CAD as well. Convinced? Read our blog for how much money you need to travel Canada! 

5_Leo_Spain_770x550.png

Fun-loving, warm, and sunshine in human form, Leos are known to be the life of the party. So why not soak up the sunshine yourself in Spain? Whether you want to party in Ibiza, learn Flamenco in Seville, see the art in Madrid, or have a more slow-paced experience soaking up the sea in Mallorca, Spain will leave an impression on your lion-heart.

Currency: Euro (EUR)

Travel Money Tip: Take a blend of cash and a Travel Money Oz Currency Pass prepaid travel card. PS - If you’re going shopping, just remember that some shops shut for a siesta after lunch and then reopen for the evening!

7_Libra_France_770x550.png

Libras are creative, romantic, charming, and true aesthetes. So the obvious choice is to visit the city of love – museum hopping in Paris of course and a romantic dinner with sparkling Eiffel Tower views. Or, perhaps a glamorous trip to the French Riviera is more your style? Wherever you go in France, there’ll be beautiful scenery, architecture, wine, food, and art to enjoy.

Currency: Euro (EUR)

Travel Money Tip: You can use your Travel Money Oz Currency Pass in France for most things, however you’ll want some cash for buying fresh flowers and croissants in the local markets and for when you’re visiting the countryside. PS - see our Ultimate Guide to Europe for a breakdown of your France travel budget.

9_Sagittarius_SouthAfrica_770x550.png

Spontaneous, adventurous, fun-loving, and philosophical Sagittarius is the sign most associated with travel! This year, fully embrace expansion in the wild plains of South Africa – there’s nothing like seeing wild lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, buffalo, (not to mention hippos, zebras, and giraffes!) to really put the world in perspective. After all, your problems feel small when you’ve seen the Big Five!

Currency: South African Rand (ZAR)

Travel Money Tip: As much fun as South Africa is, there are restrictions on carrying cash into the nation. If you have any more than 25,000 ZAR or US$10,000 (or any other equivalent across currencies), you’ll need to declare it upon entry. Just booked your spontaneous South Africa trip?

11_Aquarius_Jordan_770x550.png

Unique, humanitarian, and a little unconventional, Aquarian travellers usually pride themselves on having authentic experiences. So for Aquarius in 2024, why not explore the wonders of Jordan? Of course, you can’t miss the ancient city of Petra, but venture further off the beaten path and stargaze in a Bedouin desert camp in Wadi Rum, float in the Dead Sea (Earth’s lowest elevation point), take a cooking class in Amman, or go diving in the Red Sea!

Currency: Jordanian Dinar (JOD)

Travel Money Tip: Try and break up any large notes into smaller denominations once you’re in Jordan, as it can be hard to pay for items with high-value currency. Also, you can only take up to JOD 300 when you leave the country, so spend what you’ve got while you’re there!
