Where Do You Want to Travel?
Asia Destinations
China was the first destination I ever visited in Asia, and I have returned 3 more times. I find China to be endlessly fascinating and it always sparks my curiosity.
My eyes light up when I think about Japan. It is my favorite country in Asia for traveling because of all the incredible food, ease of moving around the country via train, and the unique culture!
Jordan offers some of the best parts of travel in western Asia – beautiful desert scenery, fascinating antiquities, delicious food – making it one of the top destinations in this region. Having a wonder of the world doesn’t hurt either!
Myanmar is a country that is unfamiliar to many travelers, but this under-rated destination will certainly steal your heart and captivate your tastebuds!
The stunning Himalaya mountain are only one of the things that I fell in love with while travel for 6 weeks in Nepal. This is one of my all-time favorite countries!
Sri Lanka is a lush, mountainous island which is an off-the-beaten path destination in Asia that most travelers overlook. I almost did, but I impulsively visited for a week thanks to a good flight deal!
Africa Destinations
Egypt is a mysterious and mythical destination, thanks to its seemingly infinite history and cultural relics to discover. A visit to Egypt is full of desert landscape, ancient antiquities and unique encounters that will not disappoint!
South Africa offers some of the best parts of travel in Africa – beautiful natural scenery, fascinating history, delicious food – making it one of the top destinations in this region. Having incredible wildlife doesn’t hurt either!
Central + South America Destinations
My favorite country to travel in South America is Argentina because of the incredible diversity of experiences you can have. From Patagonia to Salta to Buenos Aires, Argentina has something to offer all types of travelers!
Famed for Carnival and the Amazon Rainforest, Brazil is a rich and massive country to explore in South America full of fun and unique experiences to enjoy.
Although Bolivia is not one of the most visited countries in South America, it isn’t because of lack of attractions — Bolivia is filled with amazing things to do and stunning scenery to take in!
I think Cuba is one of the most misunderstood travel destinations in the Western Hemisphere, at least from an American perspective. I was blown away by my experiences in Cuba in totally unexpected ways!
From the famed historic citadel of Machu Picchu to the beautiful shores of Lake Titicaca, Peru is full of incredible attractions to tantalize any kind of traveler!
Europe Destinations
Of all the regions I’ve explored in Europe, I have traveled most extensively in Central Europe. From the beautiful cities in Austria to the surprisingly charming Slovakia, Central Europe has so much to offer! I am lucky enough to call Germany home right now, but that doesn’t stop me from taking weekend trips to Hungary or driving through the beautiful Switzerland.
A perennial favorite for European vacations, it is hard not to love the Mediterranean. Italy is well-traveled destination while the white-washed islands of Greece are a siren call for beach goers. Spain offers a diverse range of experiences, while the compact Portugal is a charming respite from the crowds. 2 weeks spent in Croatia is enough to make a girl fall in love!
If you can afford the steep price tag, then Nordic Europe is an incredible place to explore. Copenhagen Denmark is one of the best culinary destinations in Europe, while the legendary shopping and city scenery in Stockholm Sweden is hard to beat. Iceland blossomed onto the travel scene in the last decade, while Finland is still trying to grow its popularity. Estonia may be off-the-beaten path in northern Europe, but it is well-worth it!
Part Europe, part Asia, Turkey is one of the most fascinating places to visit in the region with a centuries long confluence of cultural influences. Istanbul is one of my favorite cities in the world, and it serves as a perfect jumping off point for exploring the rest of Turkey.
North America Destinations
Canada is one of those countries that continues to find itself on “top 10” destination lists — and for good reason! Whether it’s the amazing country natural beauty, diverse cities or awesome road trip opportunities, Canada has it all!
For many Americans, Mexico feels like the most commonplace of vacation destinations, but Mexico is SO much more than resorts and the beach. I think that Mexico is one of the most culturally rich destinations on the planet, with one of the best cuisines out there. I could return to Mexico again and again, forever falling in love with the friendly people and lively music over and over again.
As my native country, I have explored more of the United States than any other country in the world. Each state offers something unique with a ton of diversity so the nation as a whole has SO much to offer! From the raw nature beauty of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to the delicious cuisine of Texas to urban adventures in Chicago there is something to discover in every corner of the country.
