The biggest and best destinations for New Year's Eve celebrations around the World.

New Year's Eve Travel Destinations
By FOMO Girl
As the Christmas lights start to fade and the holiday season comes to an end, there's still the age-old question of where to celebrate one of the most epic nights out of the year, New Year's Eve.  With the New Year just around the corner, now's the time to make your New Year's resolutions, drink away the last year's regrets and celebrate starting all over again next year.

Ever wondered what it would be like to do a New Year's Eve trip somewhere other than singing 'Auld Lang Syne' with a bunch of strangers in your local pub or bar?  There are some really exciting must-do New Year's Eve events across the globe in nearly every continent.

A recent survey conducted by a social network across 17 countries and four continents showed Brazilians were considered the top nationality that the rest of the world would most like to party with on New Year's Eve.  As New Year's Eve falls in the middle of Brazil's summer, the climate is perfect for large outdoor parties to welcome the New Year.  The festivities are held in cities across the country and for those near the beach on New Year's Eve, the tradition in Brazil is to jump seven waves at midnight while throwing flowers in the sea and making a wish, apparently it is one wish for each wave.  However, none of the Brazilian cities can match the scale of the NYE party on Rio De Janeiro Copacabana Beach.  With 2.5 million partygoers in attendance it is considered the biggest New Year's Eve party in the world and Copacabana Beach has giant stages set up along the oceanfront with music, Carnival-style costumes, traditional dance performances and fairground attractions keeping people entertained throughout the night. 

Few places rival the atmosphere of New Year's Eve in New York City, home to one of the night's most memorable New Year's Eve events, the Times Square Ball Drop. Since 1907, the iconic ball, a 12-foot glittering sphere weighing 11,875 pounds, is dropped each year on the stroke of midnight from a flagpole on top of One Times Square.  Cramming into the New York City Times Square to watch the ball drop with fellow tourists from all over the world is something everyone should do once. They say that you haven't really celebrated until you've frozen your extremities and lost your voice screaming while that ball drops above you.

One of the world's first major cities to celebrate NYE, Sydney's New Year's Eve firework show is renowned around the globe.  The fireworks exploding above Sydney Harbour is probably the World's most famous New Year's Eve celebration aside from the New York City Times Square Ball Drop.  What makes Sydney better to be at than New York City though, is that 31 December is summertime in Australia and you can pretty much expect a warm night out.

Other worldwide destinations that have great New Year's Eve experiences include Edinburgh, Las Vegas, London, Miami, Amsterdam and Paris.

So make sure you get your New Year's Eve travel plans sorted out, because the only question is, where will you be when the clock strikes midnight on 31 December this year?  You know you don't want to miss it...

Which International Spring Break vacation destination is the one for you?

Spring Break
by FOMO Girl
So your an 18-20 years old College Spring Breaker, you want to party like there is no tomorrow and they have underage drinking laws across the entire United States.  Well it's a pretty simple answer that there is no point going to a USA destination for your Spring Break adventures.

Below are the best places for you to head for your International Spring Break experience.

The movie, The Real Cancun, showed the world just how wild Spring Break is in Cancun. Most of the time, especially during the day, Cancun Spring Break Headquarters is around Fat Tuesday, which was featured in the movie.  Like Las Vegas, whatever happens in Cancun, stays in Cancun, so I don't have to tell you how crazy it can get.  Cancun is a gorgeous paradise that has grown in popularity to become the top international Spring Break destination.

If you would like to do so something different this Spring Break and do something like check out a bull fight, then Acapulco boasts the second largest arena in Mexico.  As well as this you can check out the world-famous divers of La Quebrada dive 136 feet from the rocky cliffs into crashing surf below.  You may have seen them on TV or in the movies.  The city is also home to clubs that are among the most impressive in the world.  The beaches here are endless. You just can't beat a lazy day on the beach enjoying the breeze, the surf and the sun while keeping your cool with a tall tropical drink.  

Mo-Bay, as the locals call it, or Montego Bay in Jamaica is famous for its crystal clear water and constant temperature of between 78 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit or 22 to 28 Celsius.  Montego Bay is considered the capital of Spring Break in Jamaica.

In the quest of an endless summer and awesome sunsets, Negril in Jamaica is the once sleepy little fishing village discovered by hippies during the 1960's.  Negril offers an unspoiled 7 mile stretch of white sand beaches crowned by low lying cliffs.

An island paradise conveniently located less than 100 miles from Miami is Grand Bahama. It is this close proximity to the United States that has stimulated the development of the island's many resorts and casinos. The island is well known for its reef-protected shoreline with its many cays and white-sand beaches.

If your attracted by a pirate's life, then Nassau in the Bahamas is the place for you. Once inhabited by such notables as Blackbeard, Calico Jack and Mary Reed, the island still provides a safe haven for those seeking to escape from despotic academics.

If there is one must-do event on any college students calendar it is the Spring Break vacation.
