10 Addictive Countries That Will Keep You Coming Back Again and Again
After years of visiting national parks, wide-open nature retreats, and domestic tropical island getaways during the pandemic, Americans show renewed interest in getting away to a destination across the border. If you’re looking for an international vacation adventure that won’t disappoint, here are ten countries travelers love.
1. Japan
Traditional culture, delicious food, and top-class hospitality make Japan a place travelers will want to visit repeatedly. One individual, who has already seen the country four times, says it’s “Picture perfect” and, after traveling to the country four times, still wants to return for more.
2. Italy
Beloved by many globetrotters, Italy has fantastic food, beautiful landscapes, and gorgeous architecture. One extensive traveler who has explored 42 countries agrees, stating, “It’s one country I could keep returning to time after time and still find great new places to go.” And another traveler goes as far as to add, “Every time I go there, I wonder why I ever bother going anywhere else.”
3. Mexico
Vacationers love Mexico for many reasons, but one forum member articulates it perfectly. “Great climates, stunning beaches, history and ruins, amazing food, and great people.”
Mexico is easily accessible from America, inexpensive, and offers endless variety. One fan claims they “Could go every year for decades and still see loads of new stuff.”
4. Vietnam
A favorite destination amongst travelers, Vietnam offers fantastic food, beautiful mountains, and charming cities. One commenter, who has already been to Vietnam a ton, still wants to go back every single summer.
Another explains that when traveling to Vietnam, “You can have a different experience every time.” Vietnam is so special that a third individual commented on their way to the airport from Hanoi, stating, “I’m already thinking of when I can come back.”
5. Thailand
“Easy, chill, good food, and relatively inexpensive,” claims one fan. Thailand, a much-mentioned vacation destination for forum members, offers white sandy beaches, unique and dramatic scenery, and mouth-watering cuisine. With a variety of options to relax and explore, Thailand is a country easy to love.
6. Croatia
A popular choice amongst many commenters, Croatia, specifically Dubrovnik, seems to pull at the heartstrings. Many travelers visited the Pearl of the Adriatic many times, and all who mentioned the beloved city wished to return. It’s no wonder why, with a fascinating history, gorgeous architecture, and amazing beaches.
7. Greece
“If there’s a heaven, it’s something like this,” one vacationer currently in Greece commented. From island hopping to exploring the mainland cities, there is so much to see and do in this beautiful country. The food is as spectacular as the beaches, the people are lovely, and the country has a rich history that’s sure to entertain visitors.
8. Iceland
While many forum members mentioned that Iceland is an expensive destination, most want to return for more. The gorgeous country is “Stark but vibrant” and “Old and traditional but modern and forward-thinking.” Easy to fall in love with, one jet setter states that Iceland is “the only country I’ve been to where we got home and immediately started planning another trip back. And we were there for two weeks.”
Another individual informed the wife that they “Should stop in Iceland for a few days every time they travel to Europe.” I agree. What a fantastic way to start a vacation!
9. Costa Rica
“The people are lovely, the land is so gorgeous, and the scenery varies greatly depending on which area of the country you’re in,” states one veteran traveler who has traveled to Costa Rica several times and would return in a heartbeat.
With excellent weather, great scuba diving, affordable accommodations, and always something new to explore, Costa Rica is a country worth coming back to.
10. Scotland
A popular country to revisit amongst hikers, Scotland offers picturesque countryside, rugged terrain, and gorgeous lochs just waiting to be explored.
One Scotland fan, who is already planning the next two or three trips back, states, “The highlands are beautiful, the people are welcoming, and I’ve yet to be attacked by a sheep.”
