7 Totally Unexpected - and Affordable - Places You Will Want to See in 2015

Taipei
Fulltime traveler and blogger Dave Dean explained the lure of this city: “My pick for an unexpected 2015 travel destination is Taiwan. I've just spent 2.5 weeks there, and to be honest, it blew me away. It has a quite remarkable street food scene in Taipei, some gorgeous beaches in the south and east of the country, fantastic hiking (and scooter-riding!) in Taroko Gorge and extremely friendly people everywhere. I honestly don't know why it doesn't get more attention from Western travelers - I saw very few during my time there.” The four-star Howard Plaza Hotel - very near the city center - is $135 per night in January at Hotels.com.
