How to travel like your favorite tastemakers
When tastemakers travel, it seems they somehow intuitively know all the best spots. They're hanging out at local dive bars, they're staying at the most gorgeous boutique hotels, and they're eating at the most charming hole-in-the-walls. When I travel, I send out a humiliating "any recs?" post on my Instagram story just to be met with an endless list of the same oversaturated spots.
But no more.
I used to scour the Instagram pages of my favorite writers, curators, influencers, and tastemakers for the best spots in each city I was visiting. I would even dedicate hours of research to finding influencers that lived in the city I was visiting and looking through their tagged photos for the hot spots that all the cool locals are actually going to.
And while this method never steered me wrong, it was so time-consuming. Then, like an answer to my prayers, I discovered AmiGo. Imagine a combination of Basic.Space's curated profiles and the organic community of Pinterest. It's like that but better. This travel app is a hub for all the people I was already following. Prolific travel writers, photographers, fashion people, and the It girls are all on AmiGo.
The premise of the app is simple. Users tag places they visited in cities they've been in. They can even add their own photos and descriptions. Then, on your own profile, you can wishlist certain places to save them for your own travel bucket list.
AmiGo also curates guides of the top recommended spots in all the coolest cities. Think of it like Infatuation Guides for more than just food.
To help inspire my 2024 travel, I'm wishlisting all the coolest places on AmiGo. Here are some of the places recommended by the coolest people on the internet:
This North African city is a vibrant, culturally rich city equally fit for those seeking adventure and those seeking relaxation. A tapestry of colors in Morocco, Marrakesh beckons with its ornate palaces and natural desert beauty.
Here are the highlights:
Everyone wants to go to St. Barth's. The epitome of Caribbean luxury, I salivate at the thought of its pristine beaches, chic boutiques, and fine dining. But how to do this destination right?
Where to visit:
A trendy destination for culture, history, and food, Mexico City blends the old and new with ancient ruins, lively markets, iconic art museums, and a tantalizing culinary scene. I'm always fiending for another trip here, and next time I'll be armed with AmiGo's best reccs.
Here's what not to miss:
Effortlessly cool Copenhagen is a must-visit destination for charming design, Michelin-starred cuisine, and incredible style.
Here's what not to miss:
I'll never say no to an Italian vacation, and while coastal towns are all the rage in the summer, Rome is never a bad idea. You can't go wrong with so much history in the streets and delicious pasta and pizza everywhere you turn, but to make the most out of your trip, here are some can't-miss spots.
