10 Best Places To Travel When You’re Looking for Adventure

Many are looking for their next great adventure with the New Year approaching. Travel is the best way to shift your perspective of the world — and possibly yourself. You’ll learn about other cultures, make new friends, and create lifelong experiences. Whether your passport has been stamped more times than you can remember, or even if this is your first time outside of your hometown, buckle up because we’re about to go exploring. Here are ten places that have to be on your must-see adventure bucket list.

1. Thailand  

Thailand, a renowned tourist destination in Southeast Asia, is as stunning as the buzz promises. Thailand has incredible scenery and warm locals, with sparkling Buddhist temples, limestone cliffs, blue lakes, lush jungles, and lively towns. Thailand offers the appearance and feel of a luxurious holiday, yet you can have the same experience on a shoestring budget.

2. Prague 

Sure, it’s a bit of an after-college travel cliché, but Prague is still a terrific place to visit, with its charm, great beer, and buzz. And the cuisine is fantastic. Visit the lovely city center, which is bustling with young Czechs and foreigners.

3. Australia 

The best of all worlds: an active backpacking and luxury vacation scene and some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet. The journey here can be quite a mission, so why not use a private jet charter to get you on your way comfortably? You’ll be grateful for the comfort while dealing with the jet lag later in the hotel. Explore the vast Outback, travel down the Great Ocean Road, delve headfirst into coastal experiences, or meet new people. 

4. Costa Rica 

Travel down Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, stopping at some of the best surf areas like Nosara and Playa Avellanas. Don’t be concerned if you’re not a natural surfer. Costa Rica has numerous surf schools, yoga retreats, and lovely beaches.

5. Bolivia 

Bolivia’s salt flats are among the world’s most sought-after. Start your journey at La Paz, Bolivia’s capital, and then, if you dare, ride your bike down the fabled Death Road.

6. Hong Kong 

The nightlife in Hong Kong is incredible. Even after the clubs close, people remain dancing in the streets, partying on the pavements, and celebrating life until sunrise. You’ll come across folks from every culture imaginable — many with the idea of being here for a good time — with locals who know how to get down, a work-hard-play-hard ex-pat population, and visitors running on pure jetlag-fueled adrenaline.

7. New Orleans 

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is arguably the best party on the planet. It’s a rite of passage for young Americans. Amidst yard-high hand-grenade cocktails and collecting beads of every size, shape, and color, New Orleans has a deep history and a unique culture that sets it apart from many traditional American cities. There’s also excellent music and some of the most delicious food on offer — there’s literally something for everyone here.

8. New York 

There’s a reason it’s known as the city that never sleeps. Every traveler’s bucket list should include New York City. The soul of the city is located in the heart of Manhattan and is the center of many of New York’s unique shopping locations; Manhattan’s booming NoMad region is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to explore.

9. Bulgaria

Tourists often ignore this eastern European country, but it is fascinating with a deep history. Due to the shortage of tourism in Bulgaria, residents are ecstatic to see tourists and teach them about their culture; thus, you’ll be warmly welcomed here. Sofia provides free walking tours, graffiti tours, pub crawls, and cuisine tours where you can immerse yourself in Bulgarian culture with little money.

When you’ve finished exploring the captivating culture, food, and traditions this country offers, wind down on one of the many beaches. Known for its pristine waters and white beaches, Bulgaria does not disappoint if you want a summer adventure spot in the sun. 

10. Cuba

Getting there now is much easier than before, and Cuba is still buzzing with youthful vitality. Begin in Havana, but go throughout the country to acquire a true sense of the culture. From the food scene to the scenery, Cuba is one of those out-of-this-world locations that will have you speechless. 

Cuba is home to some of the most incredible natural wonders, yet it is one of those countries few will visit in their lifetimes. Vibrant music and lively locals make this a perfect spot for your next adventure stop.
