5 Wishlist Travel Destinations
I may have six holidays planned abroad this year, three completed and three to go, but I am already planning my next holiday to book. I find travelling difficult to do if you don’t have a friend with the same interests, time and money as you and I’m simply not brave enough to go it alone, as much as I would love to. I have so many places I want to visit but I wanted to put together five of my current top wishlist destinations, especially as I head to Paris tomorrow!
1. Peru
I’m fascinated by historical lankmarks like the Pyramids and the Colosseum, but the various Inca ruins are one of the places I most want to see. I would love to trek along the Inca trail in Peru and Machu Picchu is a must see for me. Food is a huge part of travelling for me, so I’d love to try the local Peruvian cuisine – although I’m not sure I fancy the local delicacy of guinea pig!
2. Belize
I have a friend who is currently island hopping in Belize and I cannot describe how jealous I am! The country sounds so interesting; cheap but tasty food, beautiful beaches and a once in a lifetime experience. Scuba diving, swimming with sharks and snorkelling with stingrays at the Hol Chan marine reserve are all on my list of things to do there!
3. New Zealand
It seems to be the new place where everyone goes to travel, but I would love to go to New Zealand. From the amazing All Blacks rugby team to the filming location of Lord of the Rings, it has got so much to do. You can swim with dolphins, watch for whales and you can either ski or surf, depending on what takes your fancy. I’d love to visit Milford Sound, the Tongariro Crossing and the geothermal spas.
4. Sardinia
With its white beaches, fantastic food and glorious sunshine, Sardinia seems like the perfect Summer holiday destination. Personally, I love the idea of travelling to the mainland first then catching the ferry across to Sardinia. The location is stunning, the Italian food is sure to be delicious and the coastal walks show off those views. I’ve never visited Italy but I’ve got a trip to Rome in September coming up and I’m so excited to stuff myself with gorgeous Italian food!
5. Iceland
I’m currently keeping my eye on deals for Iceland as I would love to visit here this year. There are great tours available to see the Golden Circle, the stunning Blue Lagoon and of course try to catch the Northern Lights. It’s another great spot for whale watching and I want to fulfil my New Year’s Resolution to go husky sledding – and what better location for it?
There are so many more places I want to visit – Prague, Los Angeles, Egypt, Belgium, Japan and Vietnam to name just a few. Where would you like to visit? Have you visited any of these places – I’d love to read some blog posts!
