I’ve been to all 50 states, and I’ve unexpectedly fallen in love with these 7 cities

• Having traveled to all 50 states multiple times, I’m often asked to share my travel recommendations.
• I’ve visited several cities that wowed me even though some are a bit under the radar.
• I love visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Chattanooga, Tennesee.

I’ve spent the last decade traveling solo to all 50 states multiple times — and people often ask me for trip recommendations.

My favorite destinations are towns that have a lot to do but can sometimes fly under the radar.

Although some on this list are still considered major cities, I find they aren’t talked about nearly as often as super popular travel destinations like New York City or Los Angeles.
