8 Zika-free Destinations for Your Travels

With daylight savings ending and it getting dark at 5:30pm now, I think it’s official. Winter is coming… Which means the holidays and merriment. For most of us, winter also involves sweaters and boots. But, if you’re headed somewhere warm for a beach vacation or for a destination wedding, I’m sure Zika has crossed your mind.

With the continuous spread of the virus (it’s now in FL), it’s sad to say, but it looks like Zika isn’t going anywhere. Until someone comes up with a vaccine, at least for the foreseeable future Zika is here to stay. Which means if you’re planning on having kids anytime soon you want to head to Zika-free destinations. Whether you’re planning a vacation, a babymoon, a honeymoon or a destination wedding here are 8 Zika-free destinations you’ll want to check out.
