Since becoming a parent my love for travel has grown so much. As a family when I was a girl, my Mum didn't have a lot of money and so holidays were very rarely a thing. It was only after I became an adult myself and had my own family that I realised how much I wanted to see the world. I'm a homely sort of person, I really am, but there's a passion inside of me for adventure and exploring and I hope that one day I will get to visit at least some of the places on my travel bucket list. I've listed my top 10 places that I'd love to visit in my lifetime below and I'd love to know which of these are on your list? Or what else you would add?
1. Realise my dream and take an American road trip - Since I was a young girl I have wanted to explore America. If someone said that I could go anywhere in the world right now I would 100% pick somewhere in the US, the only difficult part would be deciding exactly where as there are so many places I'd like to visit. One thing I would LOVE to do it visit California, there are so many stunning Napa vacation rentals and villas that I would love to spend a week at or alternatively I'd love to do a Californian road trip from San Francisco to San Diego stopping off at Los Angeles. That would be incredible!
2. Be wow'ed by New York - New York is next on my travel bucket list, I'd love to visit in the summer when the weather's warm or even in the winter at Christmas time to be wow'ed by all of the pretty lights.
3. Visit India and have my breath taken away by the Taj Mahal - I'd love to visit the Taj Mahal and get there either really early for sunrise or later for sunset. It is absolutely stunning and I just know being there and seeing it up close would completely take my breath away.
4. See animals in their natural environments on an African safari - I've always been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember so an African safari is something I hope I'll one day get to do. To see wild animals in their natural habitats and to fall asleep to the sounds of nature would be a dream come true.
5. Stay in a jungle lodge and get closer to nature with a trip to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil - To me there would be no greater adventure then exploring the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. It would the ultimate way to feel closer to nature.
5. Gaze up at the Egyptian pyramids in Giza, Egypt - I'm sure this one falls on many peoples travel bucket lists, but how amazing would it be to stand and gaze upon one of the seven wonders of the world. This is something I would ABSOLUTELY love to do!
6. Feel like I'm in heaven in the Maldives - I'd love to take a family holiday to the Maldives, the golden sand and the turquoise water would be heavenly. My dream would be to stay in one of those villas above the water that has a slide attached to it and a roof that opens up so that you can gaze up at the stars at night. I would literally feel like I was in heaven.
7. Take a cruise for the first time - I've never been on a cruise so I'd love to experience it. A Caribbean cruise where we would visit different islands would be amazing.
8. Fall in love with Santorini - Santorini has been on my travel bucket list for a while now. It looks absolutely stunning. The views are incredible and I love the white and blue landscape. I'd love to visit here one day for the ultimate relaxation.
9. Be dazzled by Las Vegas - My Husband and I ummed and ahhed about going to Las Vegas for our honeymoon when we got married, in the end we went to the Lake District which was lovely, but our desire to visit Vegas still lingers. There's something about all of the lights and the shows that I know would dazzle me.
10. Go and make more memories that will last a lifetime at Walt Disney World and see more of Orlando whilst we are there - Our trip to Walt Disney World a couple of years ago has left us with memories that will last a lifetime, I'd love to go back and do the bits that we missed and re-do the bits that we loved so much. I'd also like to see a bit more of Orlando too such as Universal Studios.

ReplyDeleteI've been to the states loads of times but would also love to do a California road trip. We went to Sri Lanka then the Maldives on our honeymoon and there are so many more places in Asia I would love to visit.
We are heading to the Iceland next then hopefully Dubai again to visit my sister, then back to Disneyland Paris next year.
