5 must-see destinations to visit in 2020
Avoid tourists and save money in these Instagrammable locations.
Hidden Gem: Indiana
To get your dream beach vacation, you don't have to travel to the coasts or Hawaii. Try Middle America.
Indiana Dunes is the country's newest national park, complete with everything from hiking trails to beautiful beaches. This year, the state's capital, Indianapolis, is celebrating 200 years, and you won't want to miss the party in the city, which offers a new bottle work district, a growing culinary scene, world-class museums and more. Octavia Spencer's new Netflix series even paid a visit to the city's Madame Walker Legacy Museum dedicated to the nation's first black female millionaire.

International ‘Off The Beaten Path’: Emilia-Romagna
Who doesn't dream of eating your weight in pasta and bread while staring out at the Amalfi Coast? But the last few years, Italy has seen more than its share of \"overtourism.\" If you're still looking to live your Italian dream without running into selfie-snapping tourists, explore the Emilia-Romagna region. It's every foodie's dream and the place where even the Italians go to pig out. Walk down streets lined with legs of prosciutto or wheels of Parmigiano cheese, and sip wine as you watch Lamborghinis roll off the assembly line.

International ‘Off The Beaten Path:’ The Ausangate Trek, Peru
Forget the crowded though classic Macchu Picchu or the Inca Trail. Peru's Ausangate Trek features the highest peak in the region and a trail you don't have to book months in advance. You start your journey with a blessing from a shaman and a traditional meat-and-potatoes meal cooked underground. Then, you can hike a trail passing clear skies and turquoise lakes and even an alpaca or two. The highlight of the journey is the Rainbow Mountain, which will definitely make your Instagram explode with color.

Once in a Lifetime Adventure: The Poles
You don't have to be an intrepid explorer anymore to visit the locations with the world's harshest climates. The last few years have seen a boom in cruise ships bound for the Poles. You can see penguins and a seeming world of white while staying in total luxury. However, the once in a lifetime adventure doesn't come cheap. Trips there start at $6,000.
