The winter is approaching and with it the usual "Best of" and "Must do" lists that summarize everything, from the funniest individuals on Twitter to the best countries that should be visited in 2018. Everyone is there, from The New York times that are willing to publish their 52 places, to the industry stars Lonely Planet, who have just published their best in Travel.

These lively lists of perfect places do exactly what they should: awaken intensive wanderlust, but in the middle of dreaming to the desk, it is advisable to ask whether it is not dangerous to kneel in front of the experts. Should we really collect these wisdom and add to our bucket lists?

on the other hand, something is certainly wrong. By highlighting certain places, travel publishers (and indeed travel bloggers) can put up with exactly what you want to share: secret sandy beaches, difficult -to -grapping wild animals within reach, the hole in the wall full of local. It is no fun to replace local culture with thirsty tourists in search of adventures.

So should we ignore these lists to do things in our own way? Do we have enough of experts with the immediate availability of crowd sourcing knowledge, as some may say?

It may not be fashionable, but our answer is no. We still trust the experts and appreciate their contribution. As we said in our defense of the travel guide, travel publishers tend to know more than the travel press; They offer better advice than other travelers; And can even share secrets that are unknown to the locals.

At Atlas & Boots we have our own list of countries we would like to see, but we are also open to ideas, especially when these ideas come from authors, editors and travelers who have seen every corner and every country in the world. In the case of Best in Travel, suggestions are curated so that they only contain those who offer an outstanding experience in the coming year, be it a special event, a new access route or a rapidly improving infrastructure.

Against this background you will understand why Dschibuti is at the top of our travel list.

    With a new railway that improves access to jibuti, it is an excellent time to visit the country - and we are too! We combine it with an upcoming trip to Ethiopia, which, by the way, is on our list of countries that we would like to see, and Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2017. Sometimes - actually mostly - the travel experts are exactly right.
