Business Insider

Your Chinese zodiac points to specific destinations you should travel to this year if you’re looking to ring in all things auspicious, according to travel technology company Expedia’s feng shui (Chinese geomancy) consultant Master Seldan Lim.
7 travel experiences to put the ‘wow’ factor into 2019
Lim – a publisher of articles and e-books and a keynote speaker – was consulted to “translate the feng shui whispers” and predict and recommend auspicious destinations for each sign to visit in 2019.
Asked which feng shui principles were used to determine these destinations, Lim said: “In 2019 general auspicious flying star sign directions are the West and Northwest, with the East as a potential direction for travel destinations.”
If you are a feng shui follower, check out where you should visit – and who you should take along with you – based on your Chinese zodiac sign.

Your travel buddies
Ox, dragon and monkey
Where to go
Argentina, St Petersburg and Chiang Rai
Opportunities ahead
This year, many good opportunities will come rolling in – and when they do, grab them without hesitation. Love is also in the air as “prospects for romance are great and may blossom beautifully”.
However, be sure to let loose a little, be cautious when handling finances, and address health concerns, if spotted.
2. Ox

Your travel buddies
Rat, snake and rooster
Where to go
Morocco, Arizona and Gwangju
Find balance
Relax, focus on yourself and find overall balance this year. You might just meet someone new or develop your existing relationship further.
Other pieces of advice include enlarging your social circle, to exercise and eat more healthily, to rely on yourself to get things done well, and to balance out earnings and expenditure – both of which may increase this year.

However, you’re advised to be cautious about finances and improve on areas of communication.
4. Rabbit

Your travel buddies
Goat, dog and pig
Where to go
Costa Rica and Borneo
Hopping with joy
You’re surrounded by positivity this year – more opportunities, good romantic luck and favourable finances – but keep in mind that you should keep a careful watch over your finances to have a comfortable year.

Great potential for success

6. Snake

Your travel buddies
Rat, monkey and rooster
Where to go
Senegal and San Francisco
A snaking road
This year might not be your year. Those born in the Year of the Snake would have a “less straight forward path to take”.
You’re advised to carefully navigate financial matters, focus on your core competencies, enlarge your social circle, improve on one-to-one communication, try new things and seek help when you need to.
7. Horse

Your travel buddies
Tiger, goat and dog
Where to go
Hanoi and San Salvador
Self-exploration
You should start the year with more balance and you may see romance, relationships and financial situations improve.
While taking note of long-term financial planning, you’re encouraged to transform yourself by developing new interests, taking part in different activities and visiting unfamiliar destinations.

Angola, Athens and Melbourne
Gradual improvement
As the year progresses, things may start to look better – financial aspects appear positive (but watch out for risks) and romance is successful.
Yet for all this to happen, you must take action and get started on whatever you need to do.
9. Monkey

Your travel buddies
Rat and dragon
Where to go
Hangzhou and Utah
Tread with caution
The good news is that romance may blossom this year.
But you’re advised to be more careful and thorough, minimising financial risks while following through on everything. Plus, the momentum of your exercise regime should be increased.

Your travel buddies
Tiger, rabbit and horse
Where to go
Albuquerque and Yokohama
Fruits of your labour
Last year was a hectic time for those born in the Year of the Dog. And this year, when the dust settles, you can relish in reaping what you sowed while finding better balance to improve yourself.
Romance and finances are looking positive and you may want to save up money for the future plans that you have.
You’re reminded to communicate openly to open the door to new possibilities.

Success if you focus
