Listen up, world travelers!
Where do you plan on traveling in 2020? Somewhere overseas, or maybe you plan to keep it domestic?
Either way, the new list of “transformative travels” from National Geographic will definitely get you thinking about where you might want to explore next year.
George Stone, executive editor of travel at National Geographic, says, “Best Trips is our annual list of where to go, what to know and how to see the world in the year ahead. To build the list we worked with National Geographic editors around the world as well as photographers, writers, explorers and, of course, passionate travelers to report on the essential sites to see and places to be in 2020.”
Here are the lists from National Geographic, broken down into different categories: Culture, City, Nature, and Adventure.
Culture Picks
1. Asturias, Spain
. Because it’s the rainy season this time of year, we were afraid it would rain the entire duration of our stay in Northern Spain, but Oviedo greeted us with sunshine and warmth 
. It’s interesting to come back to the first place that inspired me to travel, 4 years later, with a new perspective. I still feel at home here and appreciate the classic beauty, friendly faces and pace of life of this tiny town in the mountains. 
. Which place first inspired you to travel?

••• Exams and projects done in the first week, the second free to travel. On Saturday I packed my backpack and on Sunday I decided where I were going to on Monday. But I ended up nice, didn’t I? ————————————————- #mendoza #potrerillos #lake #andes #mountains #argentina #mendozaprovince #experiencesouthamerica #backpacker #girlswhotravel #backpackersintheworld #southamerica #polacywpodrozy #podrozniczka #podroz #travel #mochilera #hitchhiking #nature #amazingworld6. Abu Simbel, Egypt
Abu Simbel, site of two temples built by the Egyptian king Ramses II (reigned 1279–13 BCE), now located in Aswān muḥāfaẓah (governorate), southern Egypt. In ancient times the area was at the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt, facing Nubia. The four colossal statues of Ramses in front of the main temple are spectacular examples of ancient Egyptian art. By means of a complex engineering feat in the 1960s, the temples were salvaged from the rising waters of the Nile River caused by erection of the Aswan High Dam. Photo

6. Puebla, Mexico
Cuetzalan, Puebla. _ En el pasado, todo Cuetzalan estaba habitado por las majestuosas aves llamadas "Quetzales", sus plumas eran usadas como ofrenda siendo entregadas como tributo a los aztecas por parte de las culturas que aquí vivian. De ahí es que se cree que es uno de los motivos del nombre de este Pueblo, Cuetzalan, o como su nombre lo dice "Lugar Abundante de Quetzales". ¿Con quién quieres recorrer Cuetzalan? Comparteselo!

2019/11/2 夏に続き、秋も達沢不動滝へ訪問しました。 以前投稿した 塔のへつり に行く前、朝方を狙いました。 タイミングとしては落葉が進んでいて、ギリギリセーフといった感じでした
相変わらず糸を引くような流れに日差しが入り、水がキラキラと光る光景と、紅葉
でした
良く撮られるのは男滝と呼ばれるほうですが、左隣には女滝があります。此方も一緒にアップします5. Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia
