That's right. It's Spring Break 2017
Let's go.
What's up everybody? I'm Marko. I'm Alex
This is Vagabrothers, your home for
travel inspiration tips and tricks here
on YouTube. It is that time of year
again; winter is coming to a close, and we
all need some vitamin D, so this video is a guide
on where to go for Spring Break.
We know that Spring Break is primarily
a North American thing so most of the destinations
are going to be in the United States.
We'll have a couple tropical ones from
a little bit further afield, but before we
get started let's start Spring Break off
with a shot. Cheers. Salud. Salud.

Number 1 on our list is our
hometown of San Diego, California.
It is known as America's Finest City.
It's got over 70 miles of beaches, so there are
no shortages of places to get some sun
and sand. It's a great craft beer city,
tons of nightlife.
San Diego, California cannot go wrong.
Some of the biggest party areas in San Diego are
Mission Beach and Pacific Beach.
Check out an Airbnb.
There are a couple of hotels there,
but that's the spot to go to party,
especially South Mission Beach. If you feel
extra adventurous, you could go on a day
trip to TJ.
Tijuana is a crazy party scene.
There's also really good food there.
Check that out as well, if you have a
passport.
There is a spring break in Rosarito.
You can check that out for yourself.
I have done that.
Spring Break in Rosarito was "no bueno."
I don't recommend doing that.

Number 2; Big Sur Central Coast,
California, a road trip down the
Highway 1 is classic. I've done this myself
from San Francisco all the way back to
LA. You've got got so many opportunities
to camp and see nature,
get some good Instagram photos, and
it's just a really beautiful place.
Big Sur is not your typical spring break.
destination. Do not go there expecting
huge parties and wild nightlife. This is
definitely a mellow spring break and one
where you take your significant other and
go to a romantic, beautiful, natural place.
Or take the homies and go on a vision quest.
Number 3; on the East Coast of
the United States: Miami, Florida one of
the most vibrant cities in the United
States, full of Latino culture.
This feels like you're traveling
internationally, but if you're into warm
weather, sand, beautiful people, and
great nightlife, Miami is your spot.
We would recommend staying at the
Free Hand Hostile. They've got a
great bar there called the Broken Shaker.
And if you want to dry out after all your
partying, go to over to Wynwood, great
coffee shops and the Wynwood Walls, which
is a big street art area. If you
want to see more about that, click here
and check out the videos that we
shot there.
Next up: Colorado.
If you're not done with winter; if you didn't
get to ski, Colorado got tons of snow this year.
It's a really fun place to go.
Denver's only two hours from the closest
ski resorts, but make your way to the
Rockies if you really want to get some
snowboarding in. There are tons of craft
beer in Denver. Boulder's a great place,
and if your Spring Break
does not coincide with Boulders, you can
hit up from college parties while
you're there in Colorado. Add on
fresh air, sunshine and legal ganga, and
you have a pretty awesome spring break.
Number 5: New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Big Easy, as it's called.
The food alone is worth the trip.
I don't know if any of you are going to
get that movie reference, but those of
you who have: it's clutch.
R.I.P. Chris Farley.
New Orleans is one of the best
value destinations in the United States
with an amazing blend of French,
Caribbean, and southern culture.
Plus, one of the best live music scenes
in the country.
There's no beach, but you're going to hit
heavy on the culture points. We live
in LA. A really close destination here is
Catalina Island. Catalina wine mixer.
But in seriousness, it's a great place.
You can rent an Airbnb in Avalon.
You can go camping in Little Harbor,
which is beautiful.
but make those reservations
ahead of time. Or you can hike across the
mountain on the Trans Catalina Trail, a
three-day hike, 26 miles, and beautiful
nature. Just bring some water and
sunscreen. The easiest way to get there
is by ferry from Long Beach or San Pedro harbors.
Number 7: Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is an island, a territory
of the United States.
No passport is required.
It's tropical. San Juan has great nightlife,
and El Yunque National Forest is the only
tropical rainforest in the United States.
Not to mention, you'll probably learn how
to dance better if you go to Puerto Rico.
Added bonus:
Bacardi is based there, so it's probably
pretty cheap.
Next up: Jamaica.
Jamaica, seriously, is one
of the coolest destinations in
the Caribbean. We just got back from
there. We're actually releasing a vlog
series from Jamaica next week ,
but we can that if you go,
go to Portland
It's the northeastern side of the
island; it's beautiful;
there's plenty of hostels around there
and just good vibes. It's tropical,
red stripes all day long, and there is no
end of reggae dance parties.
Number 9:
Tulum and Playa del Carmen,
Mexico.
Just south of Cancun is Tulum
the ancient Mayan city , which has
turned into kind of like a boho
lifestyle hub. Beautiful beaches,
great nightlife, cheap food, and a great
alternative to Cancun.
If you want to party, head to
Playa del Carmen.
If you want something more mellow
like yoga vibes, head to Tulum.
Last up: if you're watching from
Europe or you feel like going farther
afield, go to Andalusia in the south of
Spain.
Not only is one of the most culturally
distinct parts of Spain, but during March,
April, and May there's tons of events
going on.
Semana Santa is Easter. Takes place all over
Spain, but Sevilla and Andalusia have
great things going on. They also have
the Feria de Abril, which is like an
April -themed event. It's really fun.
A couple of years ago, a few friends
and I rented a campervan and did
a road trip to southern Spain during
Semana Santa.
It was honestly one of the coolest
travel experiences I've ever had, and
I would highly recommend it.
You also have beaches nearby, so
overall great destination for Europe.
That's our list of where to go this
Spring Break. If you have any more
recommendations, make sure you drop them
