Of course, we are here to help you make all your travel dreams come true! So, we're back with our 5th edition of the top places to explore like a local list.

Our list each year is a little different than most because instead of curating our own opinion list of the best places to visit in 2020 (and we do have opinions!), we take a different approach and compile destination wisdom from several other lists posted online. (See whose wisdom we borrowed from at the bottom of this post.)

Here at Unanchor, we want to help you travel with the heart of a local. <3 Each of our itineraries have been created by a local living in the destination so you get insider knowledge that will save you time planning the logistics of what to do, see (& not see), when, and where. Gotta love the secrets only a local can share with you!

Get inspired by the unique beauty of each destination listed below and begin your own new explorations using the knowledge of the heart of a local.

If you're a travel writer or aspiring to be one, we have a few specific destinations at the end of the list we'd love to add to our family of itineraries.
