This month in travel inspiration: Responsible travel tips, where you can find airport yoga, and spots solo travelers will love.

It’s a new year, which means lots of new adventures on the horizon! Our experts picked their top spots to go in 2020—and we’re not the only ones with a must-visit list. (Bonus: Get a behind-the-scenes peek at how the New York Times made their list.)

Pssst… Solo travelers will want to see this list of places to go. Ireland, Portugal, and Italy are on it—and are all spots we visit on new, exclusive Solo Tours.

Sustainability is on our minds in 2020, and we loved this round-up of things we can all do to be a little friendlier to the planet when we travel.

Another major travel trend? Wellness travel! Our team put together a wellness essentials packing list for staying healthy (and centered) on the road.

While we’re talking wellness travel trends—next time you have a long layover, maybe doing some airport yoga can help pass the time? (Please tell us on Facebook if you try it!)
