Stop waiting for luck – here are 5 things you can do to bring luck to 2023
We spoke to Nataly Garrido from Colombia who describes how the people of her hometown and people around Colombia celebrate New Year’s Eve, and how they take advantage of the stroke of twelve to maximize the chances of bringing luck into the new year. This is Nataly’s best advice from her traditions.
1. Desires: Eat grapes
When the clock strikes 00.00, it’s time to eat grapes. You must eat 12 pieces and they all symbolize a month. You get one wish per month and per grape. So: at the stroke of twelve, you eat 12 grapes and wish for something for each grape!
2. Luck with travel: Fill a suitcase and run
Fill a suitcase full of summer clothes (if you like trips to the sun) or winter clothes (if you prefer ski trips). When the clock strikes midnight, you run around the block with your suitcase. This should give you luck with travel for the coming year.

If you want 2023 to be in the sign of money, you can do the following to bring luck: Fill your pockets with rice lentils and money past midnight. This should bring luck both in terms of money but also that there should always be food on the table during the year.
4. Luck in love: Red underwear
If you want luck in love in 2023, put on red underwear and say Happy New Year to another person at the stroke of twelve.

Can you combine several turn points?
Of course, we asked if you can combine several of these lucky points and we got the answer: – Absolutely. Last year I ate grapes and afterwards I ran around the block with a full suitcase, says Nataly.
