If researching and weighing your options have stalled your plans more than once, you might be suffering from analysis paralysis. It’s a thing.
Our goal at H+A is to weed through the available resources and identify the gems so that you can DREAM, DECIDE, and DO more traveling without wasting any more time.
Start dreaming of your next trip by using our suggested resources for inspiration.  The goal is to identify three possible destinations that are right for you.
Overwhelmed by the options? Here is a quick summary list to get you started.
We read through the expert editors’ “best places to go in 2019” articles in 14 major travel websites/publications to find out where the experts agree. Based on their 387 suggestions, only 7 countries garnered 40% of the votes (United States, Canada, Australia, Italy, France, Mexico, and Germany), and 25 individual destinations received the most votes.
Note: We will update this section after the pandemic is over. For now, you can use the “best destination” lists for post-2020 travel ideas.Â
