Monet Hambrick likes to say, "If kids live there, kids can visit."
The full-time travel blogger documents family trips to far-flung destinations with her husband, James, and their two daughters, Jordyn, 10, and Kennedy, 8, on her Instagram handle, @thetravelingchild. She doesn't just preach the motto; she practices it.
Hambrick fell in love with travel back in high school when she spent a summer staying with a host family in Botswana. She learned about the culture there, she told Business Insider, explored Chobe National Park, and camped in the Okavango Delta.
Looking back now, that summer "truly made an impact on how I choose to travel now with my family," she said.
Hambrick is making every effort to impart her love of travel to her two daughters, whom she began traveling with as newborns. So far, the kids have been to over 35 countries, while Hambrick has visited 50 herself.
Whether with her family or not, every trip has taught Hambrick what she likes when she travels — and what she doesn't. She has no shame about wanting to see major landmarks or tourist hot spots but also enjoys immersing herself in the local community of every destination.
Here, Hambrick shares destinations she felt were overrated, alternative suggestions, and two places she loves that she feels are highly underrated.

Local Dubai hotel group FIVE reported financial results Monday that show the company has continued to benefit from the emirate’s robust tourism sector, but also that it will need to look elsewhere for growth.
One might reasonably assume that the world’s best-connected airports would have been around for a while—long enough to test out new airline routes, apply those learnings, and figure out the smoothest way to introduce new carriers and destinations. Heathrow, for example, has long been hailed as one of the world’s best hubs, having opened nearly 80 years ago.
I dodged designer dogs — like shih tzus and Pomeranians — in Panama City's Punta Pacifica neighborhood.
Melissa Dewalt caught the travel bug a decade ago when she drove from her home state of Pennsylvania across the country to California to visit her then-boyfriend. She then road-tripped north to Seattle.
