Hate Crowds? Avoid These 20 Places When Traveling This Year

Data provided by Instagram, based on location tags and compiled in Buzzfeed’s “Top 20 Worldwide Instagram Spots Of 2016,” gave us the 20 most Instagrammed places in the world over the last year.

What does that mean? Go to these 20 places if you want the same photos and stories as everyone else.

OR! Avoid these 20 places if you crave unique experiences, original photos, and fewer crowds.

Let the list begin…

What have we learned?

Basically, to avoid the crowds and the “me-too” Instagram feeds, stay away from NYC, Paris, and theme parks. Good luck getting off-the-beaten path to new destinations, away from the masses, and finding your own authentic travel experiences this year!
