Montana

Have you ever looked up in the sky and seen the entire Milky Way? That’s what you’ll see almost every night in Montana and it never gets old. The best part is, Big Sky Country will be stunningly beautiful, no matter what time of year you visit. Come for skiiing/snowboarding in the winter or take a road trip to Glacier National Park in the summer. If you love the outdoors, Montana is for you.

Things to do:

South Africa

If you’re looking for the best mix of amazing scenery, beaches and wildlife, South Africa is the answer. Whether you’re looking to keep it low-key and explore the unique city of Cape Town or you want to do something a little more adventurous like cage diving with sharks, there’s something to keep every traveler happy here.

Things to do:

US Virgin Islands

Need a good beach day? The US Virgin Islands are perfect for relaxing on the beach during the day and hitting the parties at night. Switch it up with some hiking, snorkeling or zip lining, and you’ve got yourself a great tropical vacation filled with all the essentials – R&R, adventure and fun.

Things to do:

Germany

Berlin, Munich or Cologne…honestly, you can’t go wrong with any city in Germany. In fact, if you can visit all the cities, that would be ideal. Traveling down the Rhine and seeing all the dreamy castles is obvs a must. For a great cultural experience, make a stop in Cologne and learn lots about art and history. When you’re ready for a German beer, head down to Munich for its famous Oktoberfest.

Things to do: 

Tasmania 

If you’re a sucker for outdoor adventures, Tasmania is for you. Enjoy the remarkable beauty of several national parks as well as some of the best hikes Australia has to offer. When you’re done, hit the renowned food scene and try one of their famous meat pies. Fun fact: Tasmania has the cleanest air and purest water in the world! No brainer why it’s one of the top travel destinations for 2021.

Things to do:

French Riviera

Often overlooked by Paris, the French Riviera is just as magical and offers access to the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy a fancy glass of rosé in Marseille, party in the streets of Nice during the summer, or if you’re feeling really boujee, visit St. Tropez or Monaco for breathtaking beaches and super fun nightlife. The French Riviera is certainly one of the most underrated top travel destinations.

Things to do:

Dubai

Get a taste of luxury when you visit this ultramodern city in the Middle East. Not only is it filled with amazing shopping and nightlife, but also beaches, indoor skiing and skydiving! Basically, you’ll never be bored here. Dubai is a very safe city and most people speak English too. Plus, this year, it’s home to the massive World Expo, showcasing arts, culture, performances, food and more from over 190 different countries.

Things to do:

Alaska

Another one for our outdoor lovers! Alaska may arguably be one of the most beautiful states in the US, but is often forgotten as a top travel destination. How can you forget Alaska when it offers an array of activities like walking across glaciers, gazing at the Northern Lights, skiing and incomparable wildlife viewing?!
