We're used to hearing about the exotic places everyone has to visit during their lifetime. When you see places like that, you might think to add it to your vacation wishlist, but what about the locations you can definitely leave off your bucket list? While some spots aren't worth the visit, other destinations are simply forbidden. It's hard to imagine places like this on earth, but there are many of them, from snake-infested islands to top-secret military bases. Although you can't get on the next flight to these sites, and you probably wouldn't want to, we can tell you why these places are one hundred percent off-limits. You might be surprised to find that some of them aren't that far from your home!

American tourists are stereotypically thought of as loud, boorish, and tacky. They’re also sorely missed. “It’s a great time to be an American tourist.” Such a statement would have been nonsensical a year ago, when the COVID-19 surge in the United States was so grim that Americans, who are accustomed to traveling most places without issue, were considered personae non gratae across much of the rest of the world. But Tom Jenkins, the CEO of the European Tourism Association, stands by it: When European countries reopen their borders to tourists—as they expect to do this summer—they hope Americans will be at the front of the line.

It's Europe day, so what better way is there to celebrate this incredible continent than by discovering it's hidden gems.
Santa Cruz del Islote, Colombia (CNN) — From a distance, it's hard at first to determine what Santa Cruz del Islote actually is. Rising from the sea, the island -- one of the most densely populated in the world -- appears to be floating. In fact, Santa Cruz -- located in Colombia's San Bernardo Archipelago in the Gulf of Morrosquillo -- sits on a combination of raised sea bed and coral. It's one of 10 islands in the archipelago. Legend has it that fishermen from the nearby islands spent the night on Santa Cruz and decided to stay there permanently when they realized there were no mosquitoes. Locals attribute the mosquito-free environment to the absence of mangroves and beaches. Santa Cruz isn't a traditional island retreat. There's nowhere for visitors to stay. Tourists often spend the night at the neighboring Punta Faro hotel on Múcura Island, and travel to Santa Cruz by speed boat to explore for a few hours. It's like stepping into a Gabriel García Márquez novel. Santa Cruz features a dreamlike, innocent way of life (there are no police on the island), and the colorful houses are passed down through generations, so there are no non-native residents. Some estimates put about 1,200 inhabitants on the tiny island that's about the size of two soccer fields. But some say the community is smaller.
A year into extreme challenges, we’re asking ourselves some big questions. Untethered from our daily commutes, where do we really want to live and work? Faced with health and travel restrictions, how do we still have fun? In the midst of so much change, how can we adapt? The answers will be different for everybody, whether you’ve lost your job, gone remote, moved back home, or stuck it out. Maybe you’ll take to the open road for outdoor adventures and history lessons in real time. Work remotely from the beach or the backseat. Find a new town to call home and a new community to serve. The Roaming ‘20s is all about seizing this moment of exploration. We’re talking to creative risk-takers about how they used 2020 to start a new chapter, flip their work-life balance, and have a ton of fun doing it. We’re embracing the nomad in each of us and rethinking the way we live, work, and travel.
