13 Trips That Should Be On Your Bucket List

Everyone and their mom has dreamed about going on a vacation these last couple months. We’ve all had ample time to either reflect on previous trips and more carefree times or plan trips that you will be heading for as soon as COVID is no longer an issue. These trips will serve as some inspiration for your next trip where you can kickback and just enjoy your surroundings without a care in the world.

1. Mexico

Mexico is a destination spot for so many and for good reason. Mexico is a beautiful place to go with your family or on a girls trip. If you’ve grown out of the Cabo scene, a great place to go is Tulum. With so much sight seeing and beautiful Air BNB’s, it should be the next spot you hit up. With warm weather, sandy beaches, and nothing but great drinks, Mexico will help you relax while you catch a nice tan.

2. Greece

Live out your Mama Mia or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants dreams! I think it’s safe to say everyone has dreamed about going to Greece so why not add this to your bucket list? Greece has those clear blue waters and the architecture that can leave you dreaming about it. There are also historical sights that you can see while in Greece. If Greek mythology interests you then one thing you absolutely have to do is climb Mount Olympus. If climbing isn’t something that interests you then going on a tour at the Acropolis will also give you the opportunity to geek out over some Greek history.

3. London

If you are a foodie or love to sight see, then London should be high on your bucket list. With places to see like Big Ben and going on the London Eye, this trip will not disappoint any traveler. Another great place to check out if you want to experience a tea time in London, go to Sketch. It’s a beautiful tea room and has an iconic bathroom that you can snap the greatest selfie in.

4. Japan

Japan is without a doubt one of the coolest places that can be on someone’s bucket list. The culture itself is something that is fascinating all on it’s own. The fashion, food, attractions, it’s place that you go and have the utmost respect for. There is so much to do in Japan but a big thing before traveling there, or any foreign place for that matter is to learn things about their culture. You do not want to be disrespectful while there. Japan is a place you go and learn far more than you ever thought you would. Another great reason why Japan should be on your bucket list is if you grew up playing any sort of Nintendo game as Nintendo Land will be opening there February of 2021.

5. Paris

The city of love. Paris is great bucket list trip for a girl’s trip or with someone you love. Honeymoon maybe? There’s so much to do and so much culture to soak up that it will have you not wanting to go home. There’s also so much to Paris than just the Eiffel tower so read in to places to go on the countryside or take a train to a neighboring city. Who knows, maybe that girl’s trip will leave one or more of you head over heels for a Parisian man. It will be the best trip to cross off that bucket list. 

6. Australia

Take a trip down under and explore a beautiful content. There are endless things to do and explore there. This bucket list trip is one that you take when you can spend a decent amount of time there. With the amount of cities to explore and the amount of things to do in those cities, this is not a trip that anyone would want to cut short. And if you have to, leave it on your bucket list until you have done absolutely everything you want to do there, no matter how many trips it takes.

7. Dubai

Home of the world’s tallest building, Dubai is a place that should be on your bucket list. It meets the satisfaction of wanting to be in a city and exploring the culture that way. With amazing skylines and some of the greatest malls, you will be overly satisfied with what the city has to offer. Another great thing to look forward to while traveling to Dubai if you are interested more on Historic side is walking through the Al Fahidi Quarter, old Dubai. And, if you want to get outside and dirty, go to the Red Dunes and either sandboard or sign up for a safari. All of those attractions will give you little bits of Dubai that will make other people want to put Dubai on their bucket list.

8. India

India is seeping with new culture and experiences that anyone should want on their bucket list. It’s unlike many other places which makes the trip so much richer and memorable. With things like going to Gali Paranthe Wali, a famous food market in the middle of Old Delhi. Or going to Raj Mandir Cinema to watch Bollywood films at one of the most well known cinemas in India. Regardless of what you choose to do there, this is one of the trips that will have you thinking about it for years to come.

9. Thailand

If Thailand is one of the places on your bucket list, than a for sure way to soak up as much as you can of it is to go island hopping. With over 3000 islands in Thailand pick out your top places and go from there. It is a for sure way to keep your trip exciting and always have you looking forward to the next thing.

10. Bali

A must do in Bali is going to Ulun Danu Temple. This is a place where you can go to fully learn about Bali and be immersed in their culture. Not only is the view gorgeous and all of the surrounding area but, it’s dedicated to the goddess of the lake. One of the most serene places you can go in Bali. While there make sure you look at all of the different shrines that are dedicated to different Gods.
