Moving from coastal vibes to a more relaxed, small-town charm, Green Bay, Wisconsin, secures the second spot.

This country is the top spot for disconnecting from digital life
Looking to unplug?
India

In a world where constant connectivity can feel overwhelming, some countries offer the perfect escape to slow down and truly disconnect. MyCross recently analyzed around 40 countries based on factors like wellness retreats, internet usage and speed, safety, national parks, population density, and walkability to identify the best places for a slower-paced lifestyle. Topping the list is India, scoring a perfect 100.

India stands out for its staggering 360 wellness retreats, including renowned destinations like Six Senses Fort Barwara and Kerala’s Ayurvedic resorts. Despite its high population density, India’s digital saturation remains relatively low, with only 56% of people using the internet and average speeds of 66 Mbps, making it easier to unplug and focus inward.

The best places for solo travel in the USA: Where to go when you’re flying solo
Wander alone, but never feel lonely
Boston

Solo travel is having a moment, and for good reason. There’s something incredibly freeing about waking up in a new place with zero compromises on what to do, see, or eat. Personally, I love solo trips because I get to follow my own schedule (or ditch it entirely), try new things, and meet people I might never have crossed paths with otherwise. And while Europe gets a lot of buzz for solo adventures, there are tons of amazing destinations stateside, too. From historic cities like Boston to laid-back beach towns and scenic mountain escapes, these are some of the best places for solo travel in the USA.

Airbnb has unveiled its list of the top summer travel trends and destinations for 2025, and the results might surprise even seasoned travelers.

Topping the list is Rocca Pietore, a small alpine village nestled in the heart of Italy’s Dolomites mountain range. Perfect for glacier hikes and scenic cable car rides with amazing views, Rocca Pietore offers a peaceful retreat far from crowded tourist hubs. Located about two hours north of Venice, it’s an ideal destination for travelers wanting to immerse themselves in nature and mountain culture.
