(upbeat music)
-
- We've been to some pretty cool places
-
in the last couple of years,
-
and while it's difficult to choose,
-
if you're looking to travel in 2020
-
here are my top 10 places I think you should consider.
-
Switzerland.
-
I'm not sure that it even has to be said,
-
but the Jungfrau region of Switzerland
-
is truly unforgettable.
-
A real juxtaposition to the many cities
-
that I've included on this list,
-
the Jungfrau region is the land of quiet and quaint.
-
Here you will find villages that are
-
straight out of a storybook, truly.
-
Nestled into the sides of mountains,
-
dotted with chalets, and filled with the sounds
-
of cowbells and rustling trees,
-
come prepared to spend your days
-
repeating the following steps.
-
Hope aboard a train, ride to a village,
-
grab a picnic, find a trail head, and explore,
-
complete said activity with a picnic at the summit,
-
go home, rest, and repeat.
-
Lake Como, Italy.
-
Lake Como has a particularly special place in our hearts
-
as it was the first overseas trip that we took
-
as a family.
-
But there's a reason beyond that that it is on this list.
-
Lake Como is nestled up at the foothills
-
of the Swiss Alps.
-
It's a massive lake, lined with the most
-
darling colorful villas.
-
The entire scene just screams respite,
-
with tiny cafes, charming town squares,
-
and endless nature to explore.
-
All of that, with the added bonus of it being
-
in Italy with comfort Italian food.
-
I mean it just might be my favorite place on Earth.
-
New York City.
-
If you're subscribed to this channel
-
then you've recently heard me gush
-
about New York City in detail.
-
There is no place like it.
-
The energy in New York City is unmatched,
-
with its skyscrapers and theaters and like
-
go-go-go get shit done energy,
-
paralleled then with its stunning waterfront views
-
and gorgeous parks.
-
It also happens to be one of the greatest
-
food cities in the world.
-
A true multi cultural destination
-
with nearly every cuisine to prove it.
-
That, combined with the fact that everything
-
is open late for late night adventures and snacking,
-
it is and forever will be at the top of my list.
-
Hong Kong.
-
Though it is an increasingly complex place to visit,
-
it is a must-see city.
-
It's difficult to put the vibrance
-
that is Hong Kong into words, but picture this,
-
a city with some of the tallest
-
and most decorative skyscrapers,
-
surrounded by lush, exceptionally beautiful nature,
-
set on the water with ferries crisscrossing day and night.
-
While the views are certainly a part of
-
what sets Hong Kong apart,
-
there is so much more to this destination.
-
The food stands out as some of the best
-
I've had in all of my travels,
-
with exceptional dedication to the craft.
-
The food that you eat in Hong Kong
-
will be difficult to find elsewhere at that caliber.
-
Once you've taken in all that this city has to offer,
-
make sure to explore its surroundings,
-
with beaches no more than 10 minutes out of the city,
-
and charming fishing harbors just a ferry ride away.
-
Hong Kong is truly the perfect coming together
-
of the hustle and bustle of the new
-
and the timeless character and culture of the old.
-
Iceland.
-
Yes I know you've probably heard enough
-
about Iceland to last a lifetime,
-
and honestly, before going myself,
-
I felt the same way.
-
But Iceland is more than deserving of all of the fuss.
-
The only word that does this place justice
-
is otherworldly.
-
Its vast craters, unmatched horizons and black sand beaches,
-
Iceland presents nature that honestly,
-
if I hadn't seen with my own eyes,
-
I could have been convinced it was supernatural.
-
At every stop we found ourselves
-
with jaws dropped and cameras at the ready,
-
taking in the blue lagoons, miles of volcanic land,
-
and thermal energy radiating off the hillsides.
-
We went in winter, but Iceland is beautiful year round.
-
For us, it was the perfect time to commune
-
with nature, each other, and all of the thermal pools.
-
Edinburgh, Scotland.
-
If you, like me, are a lover of Harry Potter
-
and forever find yourself dreaming
-
of finding a place like Hogwarts,
-
look no further than Edinburgh.
-
The land of cobble stone streets
-
and castles sitting at the top of a hill
-
looking down at the city.
-
We went full into Scotland vibes
-
with stops in each and every tweed shop,
-
afternoon tea in the historic library,
-
and English breakfast every single day.
-
Edinburgh is entirely walkable
-
with streets lined with the cutest little shops
-
and perfect cafes for a cup of tea.
-
Once you've guzzled down that cup with
-
cream and sugar because you're not dumb,
-
go hike Arthur's Seat and become convinced
-
that you have officially discovered
-
where the term rolling hills comes from.
-
Tokyo, Japan.
-
Tokyo, as you've likely heard,
-
is the epitome of metropolitan.
-
Its crowded city streets and lit from
-
the ground up skyscrapers have certainly
-
played a large part in defining this city
-
and putting it on the map.
-
And while those are a site to see,
-
just behind them there is so much more to explore.
-
With one of the most efficient
-
public transport systems in the world,
-
you can visit each and every corner of the city
-
for drastically different experiences,
-
each of them both a literal feast and a figurative one.
-
Tiny, quiet streets lined with second hand shops
-
full of the most wonderful treasures,
-
food that is not only treated as a foundational
-
part of the culture but as a true art form,
-
and shrines surrounded by dense, stunning forests.
-
A trip to Tokyo feels like a trip
-
simultaneously into the future and the past.
-
Southern Utah.
-
I've raved about southern Utah before
-
and I'll rave about it again.
-
It is one of my favorite destinations year round.
-
If you are even remotely an outdoorsy person
-
you absolutely have to have southern Utah
-
on your bucket list.
-
With its could have been designed by Dr. Seuss structures
-
and endless narrow tunnels,
-
it is the perfect destination for all hikers;
-
beginner or advanced.
-
Every time we find ourselves there
-
it's hard to believe and take in
-
how out of the world this nature is.
-
In many ways it feels like you're on another planet.
-
Portugal.
-
Portugal, with its vast beaches and quaint metropolises
-
is a destination I cannot stop recommending.
-
Its long coast along the Atlantic Ocean
-
is dotted with charming towns that are perfect
-
for a day or two long stopover,
-
making it an ideal location for a European road trip.
-
Portugal brings it on every front,
-
with its romantic cities, rich history,
-
and picturesque beaches.
-
You honestly cannot go wrong there.
-
Also, I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't
-
personally advise you to eat your weight
-
in pasteis de nata.
-
Just do it.
-
Trust me, do it.
-
Wow.
-
Taiwan.
-
Taiwan is favorite place that I traveled to in 2019.
-
So much so that it's already on my bucket list
-
for a round two.
-
There's just so much to see.
-
We spent the bulk of our time in Taipei
-
and its surrounding areas,
-
and honestly, I found myself confused at
-
why I hadn't heard more about this place.
-
The city itself is lined with residentials
-
shrouded with tropical plants that lead to
-
these busy streets that are jam packed with scooters.
-
And these riders are like in this wildly chaotic
-
but seemingly choreographed dance
-
just going about their days.
-
There are so many things that make Taiwan special,
-
namely the extremely welcoming and kind people,
-
the food, so much good food,
-
and the nature that is just a short trip
-
outside of the city.
-
We spent time in some of the most picturesque villages,
-
experiencing street food, making our own tea,
-
and hiking into the fog lined mountains.
-
Taiwan was filled with spots that felt
-
almost dreamlike with their vibrant colors
-
and intense nature, and wild landscape.
-
There are so many places in the world to explore
-
and I am certainly determined to see more of them.
-
If you have any suggestions,
-
make sure to include those below,
-
I'd love to hear yours.
-
And here's to more traveling.
