If you’re anything like me, your sense of wanderlust has been stronger than ever in recent months. There finally seems to be a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, things are slowly but surely returning to “normal,” and mannn<\/em> those cheap flight deals are tempting.<\/p>\n

Let’s be honest, though: everyone else has the same idea. No matter how tempted I am, what makes me hesitate to hit “confirm” is picturing the overcrowded beaches, the sold-out tours, the traffic waiting to get into national parks<\/a><\/strong>, and hiking<\/a><\/strong> in a single-file line. Yuk.<\/p>\n

Does that mean I’m not traveling at all? Absolutely not<\/em>. It just means I’m considering places I never previously did. Instead of the “hot” tourist destinations, I’m looking at visiting some of the world’s most underrated countries. Those hidden gems you have to look up because you’re genuinely not even sure where they are. And you know where there are a lot of those grossly underrated countries? Asia and the Middle East.<\/p>\n
