Dr. Kim Cantos, known as The Moonlighting Doctor, recommends exploring Hokkaido, Japan.

For your culinary adventures, Dr. Cantos advises securing comprehensive travel insurance, particularly in case of unexpected food-related issues. "One of my greatest fears when traveling alone is not being able to access medical help in a foreign country," he explains.
