I've solo-traveled to 90 countries. Here are the 5 most beautiful places I've been.
After visiting 90 countries, I've seen some of the most beautiful places in the world, like Wānaka, New Zealand, and Jeju Island, South Korea.
Kaitlyn Rosati has solo-traveled to 90 countries, and she shared her top five favorite destinations. In September 2024, she visited Valle d Aosta, Italy, which she considers one of the most underrated regions in the country. Valle d Aosta is a small and sparsely populated area that borders Switzerland and France, offering stunning mountain views, particularly from Mont Blanc.
She recommends staying in the capital, Aosta, known as the "little Rome of the Alps" and home to historic ruins such as Porta Pretoria and Criptoportico Forense.
In January 2023, Rosati took a day trip to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, from Buenos Aires. The town is renowned for its white, stone, and pastel-colored buildings, many adorned with flowers. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with notable attractions like the San Miguel Bastion and Ruinas del Convento de San Francisco.
Fish River Canyon in Namibia left an indelible impression on Rosati when she visited in April 2024. This canyon, the largest in Africa and the second-largest globally, was particularly striking due to its vastness and vibrant colors. She found it to be an overpoweringly quiet experience, sitting by the edge to absorb the breathtaking scenery.
Wānaka, New Zealand, held a special place in Rosati's heart, as she felt a strong affinity for immersing herself in nature there. During a January 2019 road trip from Queenstown to Aoraki/Mount Cook, she explored Wānaka, staying at a campervan and visiting Wānaka Lavender Farm to taste local honey. She also hiked Roys Peak, a 5,177-foot summit offering panoramic views of the town. Sitting by Lake Wānaka each morning, she enjoyed the serene beauty of the lone willow tree growing in the water.
