Would love to hear stackers share their favorite travel destinations that aren’t typically found on all the “Best Places to Travel in 2023” lists across the internet.

Utah. The national parks are simply amazing! Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Zion to name a few.

Also the bitcoin meet up in salt lake can be a good place to buy in person kyc free sats :)

I only spent half a day in Salt Lake City, but since I went on a Sunday, it left a big impression on me. Everything is closed on Sunday, even the mall! We were having such a difficult time finding a restaurant to have lunch.

These were from our last road trip to Utah. We didn't visit Canyonlands because of how we planned our itinerary.

Zion was my favorite out of the ones I named, even though it was raining during our visit.

I'm heading on a road trip to Yosemite with my family in March 2024. My daughter and I are both Alex Honnold fans, and are very excited to see El Capitan in person!

What are your most underrated travel destinations?

food wise

  • Penang, Malaysia: amazing food! soooo good that I can't explain 😂
  • Da Nang, Vietnam: seafood!

history wise
Turkey, especially the east part, and north for nature - or stay out of istanbul and all the tourists places, many places are underrated in this beautiful land.

Second Danang! Still have a picture of the scrumptious banh xeo I savoured there

Went to Maui to support local businesses that were struggling shortly after the fires. Beaches were empty, AirBNBs were super cheap, no traffic. Rental cars were piled up at the airport. Went around tipping 50-100% for everything, everyone super grateful for business.

I suspect things are getting much more crowded again...

The Sonoran desert. I grew up here and I always took it for granted when I was young. Now I see it as one of those most beautiful places on earth.

🇵🇹 A strange place in Portugal.
Better known as "The Flintstones House".

Milwaukee was a surprise to me. I liked the downtown area and just the overall feel of the small city. The PRB mansion was quite cool as well

reply

Besides exploring Tokyo and Kyoto, consider visiting Okinawa, the southernmost prefecture in Japan. Think perpetual summer vibes, island time where locals are bubbly and always up for a chat, interesting fusion food like taco rice, lovely beaches - the list goes on. I had a lovely time admiring the jinbei-zame (whale shark) at Churami Aquarium and shopping up a storm at Kokusai Dori (International Street). Okinawa had a lot of exposure to the Chinese, and still houses American military bases. So, culture enthusiasts will relish how it is “same same, but different” from the rest of Japan.

Yankari Game Reserve, Bauchi State, Nigeria 🇳🇬...

The funny thing is that if you google Bauchi State the things you'll see will be the negative part of it and some Boko Haram stories and how people are being bombed(I thought so too) but I've been going there twice every year for 5years now and I'm yet to step on a landmine😂😂

Google Yankari Game Reserve instead and get ready to be wowed.

I'd say Panama, Gibraltar even.

Belgrade, Serbia is a super cool city to visit

reply

I like Belgrade.

reply

Brazil, Portugal are so underrated in my opinion

reply

Not where I travel, that's where I live, bet Riga, Latvia is cool city to visit, especially during summer.

reply

Yerevan, Armenia is surprisingly fun and affordable. The food there is top-notch. We had a Michelin quality for a group of 8 people for around $150. There's also Mount Ararat, which looks gorgeous with its snow-covered top. There are also a lot of really old monasteries and churches, which are worth visiting.

Kuala Lumpur is like Singapore, but half the price. Also, lots of Bitcoiners there.

Lebanon, at least before this conflict, was a really cool place. Lots to do, from skiing to surfing, a lot of historical sites, and the hyperinflation makes doing a lot of stuff pretty cheap.

Ushuaia is amazing as is most of Patagonia. The king crab there is a must-try dish.

Vietnam

Siberia has some world class mountain climbing if you go in the right time of year!
