New year, new travels! 2018 is here and with it comes the excitement of planning new adventures. But deciding on a new destination to visit can be a bit overwhelming. In eight years of solo travel, I’d like to think that I’ve experienced enough of America to confidently share some great locations with you. So, in no particular order, here are 8 places that I have personally visited and feel are worth saying hello to in 2018.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

As the host city of Super Bowl LII, Minneapolis will be a hot destination in the beginning of February. But if you don’t find yourself in Minneapolis to root for your favorite football team, this beautiful city has plenty to offer any time of year. Surrounded by 13 lakes, the Mississippi River, and Minnehaha Falls, this city is the perfect destination for any water enthusiast. If you prefer a mix of indoor activities, Minneapolis has that too: the Mall of America is the largest mall in the United States and boasts the seven-acre Nickelodeon Universe amusement park, Matt’s Bar is known for the locally famous Jucy Lucy burger (also endorsed by Chrissy Teigen), or you can catch a game at one of the three professional sports stadiums within a 1.3-mile radius.
