Finally, Lonely Planet has just released their list of top 10 countries to visit in 2010. If you don't know, Lonely Planet is the go-to resource for people looking for a travel adventure that's a little out of the ordinary. Some destinations not usually considered include El Salvador and Suriname. Others are unsurprising repeat recommendations - Portugal, Greece (pictured) and New Zealand. A surprise on the list is the United States, which the company has deemed 'cool again', thanks probably in no small part to a young and popular President.

Here's a great collection of images of these places, courtesy of The Sydney Morning Herald.

And the Lonely Planet book about all of them is here.
