Looking to go somewhere beyond the travel "bubble?" Huffington Post has some suggestions.

"Paris? Been there. London? Done that. No offense to those storied standbys, but 2017 is a time to break out of your travel bubble and try someplace you've never thought to visit before," writes Suzy Strutner and Janie Campbell.

One suggestion is South Korea.

"Don't let its northern neighbor scare you off: South Korea is full of adventurous travelers' delights like national parks, mountains and islands," writes Strutner and Campbell.

Another option, head to Mauritius.

"This tiny island nation in the Indian Ocean offers up a low-key vibe and endless turquoise waters perfect for sports like wind and kitesurfing," says Strutner and Campbell.

Another top pick that is showing up on more and more lists is Kazakhstan.

"The world's ninth-largest country is not just for Borat: Fans of architecture, city tours and wilderness explorations will feel right at home in this little-explored corner of the earth," they say.
