I’m not sure about when my love of travel first began but it certainly has taken off in the last 10 years. There are very few places in this world that are on my ‘not interested’ list, and I will jump at the chance to go just about anywhere if the opportunity comes up. I consider myself to be very blessed to be able to travel as much as I do and am always thinking about my next destination! Perhaps you are thinking about where you might want to travel in 2018 so I thought that I’d help you choose your next travel destination in a very unique way.

I’m sure many of you have seen the promotions on television and in your local stores for the all new Diet Coke® flavors. Diet Coke recently launched a new line of flavors to match every mood and I thought that it would be fun to make suggestions for travel destinations based on your mood! Diet Coke has launched a new site that you can access through your mobile device and it will analyze your mood based on your thumbprint and tell you which Diet Coke is perfect for you in that moment.

My mood today matched me with the all new Diet Coke® Zesty Blood Orange which means that today is the day I’m ready to take life by the horns and shout ‘CARPE DIEM!’ My feeling on this is that you only live once so why not take that trip you’ve always dreamed about. The trip of my dreams is to Australia because it seems like such a beautiful country filled with adventure and excitement. Take a minute to think about where you’d want to travel if PTO and money were no object. This would be your zesty blood orange trip.

If you happen to end up with Diet Coke® Twisted Mango it means that you’re the wild child. Time to plan a trip to an exotic destination like Barbados or Brazil where the party doesn’t stop and you can spend your days with the sand between your toes and the wind in your hair.

If your mood is Diet Coke® Ginger Lime then it means you’re looking for some answers in your life. Try a trip to a destination that features one of the Seven Wonders of the World like India or China, somewhere that will bring you a sense of enlightenment.

Finally, let’s talk about Diet Coke® Feisty Cherry. I was a little surprised that this wasn’t my outcome but it certainly reflects my personality. This Diet Coke features a little sass and attitude. It’s for the person who is ready to pack a backpack and not look back. My suggestion would be backpacking across Europe with a friend or loved one, experiencing each country like a local.

Of course there’s always the Diet Coke® Original, a flavor that you know and love. If this is more of your speed then I suggest heading back to a destination that you already have experienced. For me this is New York City. It’s my favorite domestic city and I know that it will always treat me right no matter how many times I visit.

I picked up all 4 of the new flavors at my local Walgreens and it was a fun experience to try them all. You can use their website to determine your mood and flavor match and grab the coupon to buy (1) 12 oz. sleek can, get (1) free at Walgreens.
