Our Favorite Travel Stories of 2023Another year of travel down, and it was a big one. In fact, at the close of the year, international tourism will have reached close to 90% of pre-pandemic levels, which means next year will be a big one, too. But before we start looking too far into the future, a look back. If you've been following along, then you already know that we went to a lot of places this year. Like, a lot. From Australia, Nepal and Albania, to Lethoso, Chile, Norway and all over the continental U.S., our correspondents spent 2023 traveling the globe so that your travel-inspo cup never ran dry. It is our sincerest hope that the resulting stories we told inspired you. So, with that said, here are a few of those stories from the past year. And who knows? Maybe they'll be of use when it's time to book your first big trip of 2024, too. Happy travels. Lindsay Rogers
