1. Iceland
Exploring is nice—unless your plans get interrupted by annoying mosquitos. Thankfully, the country of Iceland is nearly mosquito-free, making this exotic destination one worth considering.
Iceland has a spectacular landscape to see. And if you visit between September and early April, you will also have the chance to spot the northern lights.
2. Paris
If you’re looking for a unique cultural experience, then Paris, France is definitely the place to go. Here, you can discover delicious foods and explore tons of sights throughout the city, such as the Eiffel Tower.
A unique thing about Paris is its late sunsets. Sometimes it doesn’t get dark until around 10 pm, leaving you plenty of daylight for exploring.
This city is also filled with fashion, so make sure to check out the shops while you’re there!
But even if you don’t choose this location, you can still find styles to add to your wardrobe; shop the iconic brand online.
3. Quebec City
Did you know you can still experience French culture without jumping the pond? Quebec City is a unique part of Canada. Like Paris, in this city, nearly everyone speaks the French language!
While no place is perfect, Quebec City does happen to be a relatively safe place for your exotic traveling. One of the coolest nearby sights to see is the amazing Hôtel de Glace, which is located less than an hour from the city.
4. Washington DC
If you come from the United States or are simply interested in its history, then Washington DC is definitely a place worth visiting.
Here, you will find all six Smithsonian museums, countless national monuments, and the White House.
5. Redwood National and State Parks
California has an amazing forest of Red Wood trees to be explored, making this park a great traveling place for adventurers.
However, Crescent City also has a very significant crime rate, meaning this location is not a good spot for solo traveling.
If you choose to enjoy the Redwoods in this area, make sure to stay with a group and consider spending the night somewhere outside the city.
6. The Florida Pan Handle
The Flordia panhandle is definitely a go-to place to travel if you’re interested in both a relaxing and adventurous vacation.
This destination has plenty of activities such as jet skiing, paddle boarding, and kayaking in the bay near Navarre Beach. Destin has many delicious seafood options for a yummy dinner, and the city of Pensacola has the airport you’ll need to get there.
As for places to stay, Navarre may be your best option as it has a low crime rate.
7. Hawaii
If you’re truly looking to get completely off-the-grid, then Hawaii may be your best option.
This chain of islands is home to a variety of places to explore, including beaches, trails, and even a volcano!
However, simply traveling to and from this location can total the cost of your average vacation in and of itself, so make sure to save in advance and search for discounts before purchasing your airline tickets.
8. New Caledonia
Hawaii isn’t the only island to consider. New Caledonia is a French-speaking tropical island located approximately 2,044 miles from Australia’s coast.
And if you live in the United States, a non-stop flight to this exotic destination can take longer than two days!
However, this place is truly unique and relatively safe as well, making New Caledonia a great place to explore when you’re getting way far off-the-grid.

This state has no shortage of stargazing spots, allowing you to see the sky like never before.
