Top 10 Travel Destinations for Youngsters

What's up guys? 

If you're like me, you're probably stuck at home. 

Just daydreaming or when you get back out into the world after this chaotic year. 

So here are my top 10 places to visit since you probably weren't able to travel much last year.

Hopefully, this is the year. 

 

You can see a little more of our beautiful world, with fleecy clouds adorning the sky.

Some of the places on this list were closed or have very restrictive travel policies due to Covid. 

 

But, as the year progresses, more destinations will safely open up for tourism.

Let's start 

1.- Beautiful Islands of French Polynesia 

Located in the South Pacific, French Polynesia is made up of over 100 islands, and one of the most stunning among them is Bora Bora.

 

You can find ow the eyelets and the coral reef protect the island and the crystal-clear Lagoon is blows anyone mind. 

 

It couldn't be more perfect. 

Now, if you have some money to splurge, you can stay in one of the ocean bungalows built right above the water.

At the heart of the island lies a dormant volcano, Mount Ultima, rising to an impressive height of 727 meters.

 

To get to Bora Bora or any other destination in French Polynesia, you will need to fly.

 

Be required to take a Covid test 72 hours prior. 

 

So if you can afford it French Polynesia might be the place to go adventure and relax. 

2.- Visit New Zealand 

 

If you're a budget-conscious traveler and New Zealand has been on your bucket list for as long as you can remember, you're in for a treat. 

 

It's a land full of mountains reminiscent of Switzerland, fjords like those in Norway, and landscapes straight out of The Lord of the Rings. 

 

New Zealand consists of over 700 islands, but the two main ones are the North and South Islands. 

 

If you're seeking adventure and breathtaking landscapes, the South Island is the place to be. 

 

It's home to the Southern Alps, where Mount Cook, New Zealand’s tallest mountain, stands at an impressive 12,218 feet.

Another incredible spot is Milford Sound, often described as the 'eighth wonder of the world.' 

 This fjord was carved by glaciers during the Ice Age and is one of the wettest places on Earth, surrounded by lush rainforests and magical waterfalls.

During Covid perido, visiting New Zealand was nearly impossible unless you're a resident, but now, we can all explore this stunning country.

3.- Indonesia to Visit Bali 

 

Bali has been one of the most popular travel destinations in recent years, thanks to its relatively low prices and stunning tropical landscapes. 

 

It's easy to see why so many travelers are drawn to it. 

 

While the travel situation has become a bit tricky in Covid period, now, it is open.

One of the must-visit places in Bali is Nusa Penida, a small island just off the coast. 

It's famous for its striking white cliffs and pristine beaches, which many compare to Zakynthos in Greece. 

While much of Bali is known for its rice terraces, Nusa Penida is the prime spot for exploring cliffs, snorkeling, and visiting jungle waterfalls. 

 I can't wait to visit!

4.- UAE to Visit Dubai 

 

Dubai is one of the most exciting destinations in the world, and it has relaxed its entry requirements for many countries. 

 

All you need was a negative COVID-19 test taken within 96 hours of arrival during Covid period.

Dubai is essentially what happens when a city is built from scratch with an unlimited budget, resulting in some of the most extraordinary buildings and structures in the world. 

It's home to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet, standing at an impressive 2,722 feet. 

As a tourist, you can visit the observation deck on the 124th floor, offering breathtaking views. 

For an incredible time-lapse of Dubai’s futuristic highways, head back down to enjoy the spectacular Dubai Fountain shows, which take place daily.

If you want to relax by the beach, Jumeirah Beach is a great spot with stunning views of the Burj Al Arab, considered one of the world’s only seven-star hotels.

For a truly unique experience, a desert safari is a must. 

You can head out into the middle of the desert, hop in a 4x4, and go dune bashing. 

Though it may feel a bit adventurous, it’s an unforgettable way to enjoy the sunset and explore the mesmerizing deserts of the UAE.

5.- Brazil to Visit Rio de Janeiro 

 

Brazil has opened its borders to all travelers, but a negative COVID-19 test was required within 72 hours before boarding your flight during Covid years.

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities in the world. 

It's known for its stunning beaches, towering granite mountains, and lively culture. 

One of the city’s most famous landmarks is the iconic Christ the Redeemer, a massive statue standing over 125 feet tall. 

From here, you can capture unique 360-degree shots of the city.

Rio is also home to some incredible beaches, with the most famous being Ipanema Beach, a hotspot for both locals and tourists. 

The city’s energetic vibe and scenic beauty make Brazil a top destination for young travelers.

Another must-see spot in Rio is the Dona Marta Lookout, offering one of the best panoramic views of the city. 

I want to visit at sunrise and treat to an incredible sight of Sugarloaf Mountain and the surrounding landscape.

6.- Peru 

 

The other side of South America offers some incredible places to visit, with landscapes that are among the most diverse in the world. 

 

From the largest sand dunes to the vast Amazon rainforests, the continent has it all. 

 

One region I particularly want to explore is the Peruvian Andes.

A great starting point for visiting the Andes is the city of Cusco. 

It’s one of the highest cities in the world, sitting at an elevation of 11,200 feet, and was the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th century until the Spanish conquest in the 1500s. 

Cusco is surrounded by numerous Incan archaeological sites, with the most famous being the Incan citadel of Machu Picchu. 

This site, believed to have been built around 1450 and abandoned by 1572, remained hidden until its rediscovery in the 19th century. 

It’s considered one of the greatest archaeological achievements in the world and is shrouded in mystery.

Another stunning destination in the Andes is Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca. 

Located at a striking elevation of 17,100 feet, it’s famous for its vibrant, multicolored slopes. 

Peru is such a beautiful country, and I hope you get the chance to explore it.

7.- USA to Explore Oregon 

 

If you're like someone and stuck in the US but looking for an incredible destination within the country, Oregon is a fantastic option. 

 

You can do a road trip through the state, and it will be an extremely enjoyable experience.

Oregon is home to some of the best coastline in the USA. 

I highly recommend driving down the Highway 101 coastal route. 

One of the favorite stops is Meyer Beach, where you can found massive rocks and have the beach all to ourselves. 

Another scenic spot worth visiting is Samuel Boardman State Scenic Corridor—it's one of the most beautiful spots on the Oregon coast, in my opinion.

If you get the chance, definitely consider road-tripping through Oregon this year!

8.- Turkey 

 

Turkey is one of the few countries that never really shut down during COVID-19, and most of its travel restrictions have now been lifted, with a few exceptions for certain countries.

One of the most popular destinations in Turkey is Istanbul, a city that is truly fascinating. 

Istanbul is a transcontinental city, spanning both Europe and Asia. 

The Bosphorus Strait, which separates Europe from Asia, runs right through the city. 

Istanbul is the most populous city in Europe, with a population of over 15 million.

The history of Istanbul is vast; it was settled as far back as the 7th century BC and became the capital of the Roman Empire in 330 AD. 

One of the favorite features of the city is the Galata Tower, a uniquely shaped medieval building that dominates the skyline.

On the other side of Turkey, you can visit Cappadocia, famous for its morning skies filled with hot air balloons. 

Cappadocia is known for its unique rock formations and fairy chimneys, making it a truly wild and enchanting place.

9.- Germany to Visit the Feria 

 

Located in the southern part of Germany, right next to the Austrian border, Bavaria is known for its stunning scenery. 

 

It's one of the first places I want to visit.

The capital of Bavaria is Munich, a charming and historic city. 

One of the most beautiful towns I want to explore is Berchtesgaden. 

Nestled at the base of the Bavarian Alps, it's an idyllic German town. 

If you’re into World War II history, you’ll find this place fascinating. I

 recently finished watching Band of Brothers, and the last episode featured Berchtesgaden, which is also home to Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest retreat.

Berchtesgaden is known for its stunning alpine lakes. 

One of its famous attractions is a mountain cabin by the lake, which offers breathtaking views. 

Another iconic site in Bavaria is Neuschwanstein Castle. 

Often considered one of the most beautiful castles in Europe, Neuschwanstein is perfectly situated in the mountains with a phenomenal 360-degree view of the Bavarian Alps and the town below. 

Completed in 1886, it served as the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. 

I can’t think of a more magical place to visit. 

If we get the chance, we’ll definitely head over to Bavaria.

10.- Islands Located Right Between Norway and Iceland 

 

In the land of the Faroe Islands, an archipelago made up of 18 volcanic islands, you’ll find some of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. 

The Faroe Islands are renowned for their stunning scenery, from sheer cliffs to waterfalls cascading straight into the ocean. 

One of the most scenic spots is Múlagljúfur, located on a remote island where waterfalls plunge over a hundred feet into the ocean below. 

Another personal favorite is the island of Kalsoy, which boasts an incredible lighthouse overlooking some of the tallest sea cliffs I've ever seen.

That wraps up my travel guide!
