As 2013 draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking about your 2014 travel plans . . . if you haven’t already. Here are six places to consider in the year ahead.

Romania: Play in the snow, eat off of a frozen plate, and sleep on a block of ice in Bâlea Lake before the Hotel of Ice melts for the year.

Malta: Find an isolated village, a nearly empty restaurant, and a stunning cliffside view at the highest point in Malta.

South Korea: Explore emerald beaches, hidden waterfalls, and rocky coves at a popular South Korean summer destination.
Canada: Drive to Nova Scotia for lobster rolls, whale watching, and hopefully a moose sighting.

China: See one of the world’s largest cities from the water, the mountains, and the sky.
