Lonely Planet Picks Best 2017 Travel Countries

  • CANADA (great exchange rate and they treat travelers like guests)
  • COLUMBIA (culture, nature and hospitality — even a visit from the Pope planned this year)
  • DOMINICA (hasn’t changed much since Columbus set foot a few hundred years ago-even the rain forest)
  • FINLAND (a TC favorite — don’t miss an outdoor sauna and the cloudberries)
  • NEPAL ( lots of landmarks, Himalayas, Kathmandu Valley — but be ready to rough it)
  • MONGOLIA ( giant wrestlers, beautiful horses, warm hospitality — even a Hard Rock Cafe to open this year).
