to Go Next

Quick Answer

How do I choose my next travel destination?

The best way to choose your next destination is to start with the kind of trip you want: beach and jungle (Belize), imperial history and the Alps (Austria), winter activities (Lapland, Finland), or a set-jetting trip through real filming locations (Salzburg, Portugal, Greece, or Paris). Every guide here is based on trips I’ve actually taken rather than on secondhand research.

Where to Next, Traveler?

I’m Michelle, and I’m all about traveling without breaking the bank.

I look for authentic experiences over Instagram-perfect moments, and I’m not afraid to tell you when something isn’t worth your time or money. I often travel solo, and I believe smart planning is the only way to go.

I’ve explored 35+ countries around the world, and in the travel destinations below, I cover everything from Belize’s barrier reef to the winter wonderland of Finnish Lapland.
