We’re a couple months into 2024 now: Maybe you're a freshly minted, idealized version of yourself. Or maybe your new year's resolutions are as distant as the icebergs of Antarctica. No matter what your life looks like, there's one thing you can count on: Travel.

I’ve spent the last decade-plus in the travel industry as a writer, editor, and now podcaster (as host of AFAR’s Unpacked), and I still love the freshness of a new travel year. What adventures will it bring? What memories will I make? And most importantly: Where will I go? So I’ve channeled all that excitement and inspiration into a guide on where to travel in 2024—the surprising destinations, the off-grid-spots, and dreamy, over-the-top trips.

And of course, you don’t need to be a type A, spreadsheet planner type to dive into this goodness. Let these stories, podcasts, and shows wash over you—and get to dreaming about an epic year of travel.
