To help you steer clear of crowds and chart new territory, we’re dishing here about where you might want to travel to after enjoying some popular destinations. Peruse the list below, then contact Undiscovered Sunsets to start planning your next vacation.

 

Liked Mykonos and Santorini, Greece? Then You’ll Love Paros and Naxos or Crete.

With beautiful beaches and gourmet food (see: Barbarossa), these islands are quieter and offer something for travelers of many kinds. Naxos and Paros offer ample options for shopping, culinary adventures, and nightlife. You’ll feel like a celebrity when you stay at the boutique Mr and Mrs. White Hotel in Paros (pictured).

 

Adored the Amalfi Coast? Consider Ischia.

The coastline is awe-inspiring at both, but Ischia is a bit more tucked-away. It is its own stunning six-mile wide island. Said to have health-promoting qualities, the island features thermal spas and remarkably fresh seafood. Mezzatorre hotel, located on the northwest edge of Ischia, is an Undiscovered Sunsets favorite.

 

Enjoyed Charleston, South Carolina? Try Portland, Maine Next.

With similarly-creative and mouthwatering culinary options as Charleston, Portland (population 66,000) is packed with active options including fishing, sailing, skiing, and white water rafting. Come summer, consider adding a Backroads bike tour to the agenda to spin past Camden Harbor and Acadia National Park. Email us today so we can begin lining up your cycling holiday.

 

Craving a Wine Trip Akin to Napa Valley? Try Valle de Guadalupe.

Calling all cabernet fans: The quality vino you’ve enjoyed in California are available in this Mexican region that’s just a 90-minute drive south of the U.S.-Mexico border. Its Ruta del Vino trail includes more than 100(!) wineries including Monte Xanic, the oldest (open since 1987). Work with Undiscovered Sunsets and we can hook you up with a luxe, locally-led experience with Journey Mexico, one of our preferred partners.

 

Surfing for Something Similar to Costa Rica? Book it to Panama.

By land and by sea, Panama is pure beauty with similar pura vida vibes. Explore the crystal-blue seas on a Blue Parallel Private Catamaran, then settle in at one of the picturesque private retreats. With the comforts of modern living but the peace of a dreamy old-school abode, you’ll never want to leave El Otro Lado. Book with Undiscovered Sunsets and you’ll score a $100 spa credit and free upgrade* at this lodging located within a national park.

Undiscovered Sunsets was a long time in the making, even if I myself didn’t realize it. During my time at the University of Northern Iowa, I studied abroad in New Zealand. Upon graduating, I bought a one-way ticket to France, lived with a French family and studied with classmates from Turkey, China, Russia, Germany, Italy, and everywhere in between. In 2010 I began teaching English as a foreign language. This job quickly took me to China, where English teachers were in high demand and within three years, I began working in a 5-star hotel, speaking Mandarin throughout most of my day. In total, I lived abroad for 7 years.

I consider Undiscovered Sunsets to be the perfect mélange of my personal experience traveling the world and my professional experience working in the hospitality industry.

I look forward to designing your next adventure!
