The long, dark night of winter solstice is behind us, but the short, dark days of early 2022 can try even the sunniest of souls. Surely springtime and summer are just over the horizon—but it still feels like an eternity before they come. So, rather than await them here in the Northern Hemisphere, why not go meet them in sunny places closer to the equator? For those of us in need of seasonal escape, especially during these challenging times, a home in a warm climate is the perfect retreat.
