I've been to over 100 countries. I want to go back to these 5 — including one travelers are really sleeping on.

There are only a few countries I've visited that I'd classify as a destination travelers are sleeping on, and Oman is at the top of said list. I visited the West Asian country in 2019 and was immediately mesmerized by the hospitality of the people and the uniqueness of the desert and mountain landscape. I drove from the capital of Muscat all the way through the vastness of the empty quarter, to Salalah and back. I felt extremely safe as a solo traveler on a road trip there and would jump at the chance to go back. Next time I visit, I'd focus on hiking and searching for more of its famed hidden wadis, which are valleys that can fill with crystalline water after monsoons. Brazil is one of the biggest countries in the world, and I didn't truly appreciate its expansiveness until I set my own two feet on its soil. I spent a few weeks moving from the jungle over to the coast and highly recommend experiencing both the buzz of Rio de Janeiro and the calm of the Amazon River. On my next visit, I'm immediately heading to Pantanal, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands where wildlife abounds. I'm longing for the opportunity to see jaguars in their natural habitat and this would be the place — it's got some of the highest concentrations of them in South America. I've never been in a more constant state of awe than on my hiking road trip through some of Chile's most gorgeous national parks. Chile's Torres del Paine National Park has incredible icebergs and mountains — and its W trek with views of huge granite towers is one of the highlights of all my travels — but there's so much more nature to see in this country. When I return, I'm going back to Atacama, the red-orange desert landscape in the north located in a region that can best be described visually as otherworldly.Located at the intersection of Europe and Asia, Georgia is a place I've visited many times. I love it so much that I started running small group trips here because I'm so passionate about people experiencing the country for themselves. I love Georgia's people, landscape, culture, food, and wine … I could keep going. It has something for every type of traveler.I have another trip planned again this year, and I'll be exploring Ushguli, a region perfect for that adventurous traveler at over just about 7,000 feet above sea level. I've had only two short layovers in Japan, and overnighting a couple of times simply is just not enough. Next time I revisit I'd like to move beyond Tokyo and really dive into the rich cultural regions the country has to offer. I'm eager to see the snow monkeys who bathe in the thermal baths in Nagano. I want to visit Naoshima and stay among the contemporary art at the Benesse House. And, lastly, I want to head seaside to learn about the Ama, also known as the real-life mermaids of Japan, a group of women who pearl dive.

Oman is seriously underrated.

There's so much to see in Brazil.

I would return to Chile in a heartbeat.

I can't get enough of Georgia.

There's so much more for me to explore in Japan.
