World Travel Bucket List for World Travel Dreamers

Last updated on October 29th, 2023 at 11:51 am

Travel and photographyThe new year is just around the corner, and I can’t wait for all the excitement to begin.

I will be camping in a mountainous area of Australia for the New Year’s weekend, and my thoughts will be with all of the world’s big travel dreamers.

It’s that time of year to make my world travel bucket list for the coming year.

8 New Year’s Travel Bucket List Goals

1. Have a great rock climbing adventure and travel year. I love rock climbing; combining this with adventure travel is the ultimate. This year, as well as more rock climbing adventures in Australia, I hope to climb in Yangshuo, China, and also in Europe.

2. Complete a major alpine hike. I have been wanting to knock something off in terms of famous multi-day hikes for some time now, and maybe this year will be the year either in Europe or here in Australia.

3. Do some more travel in the developing world with my daughter. I have already talked about my enthusiasm for traveling with children, but for the most part, we have traveled First World with her so far. She coped admirably with the backblocks of Bali this year, so next year, I think she’s ready to discover more of what the world is really about.

4. Undertake another excellent train journey. It’s no secret I love traveling by train, and one of my new year goals this year is the Trans Mongolian. That’s like the Trans Siberian, except starting from Beijing and traveling to Russia via Mongolia rather than starting in Vladivostock.

5. Attend a travel blogging conference. Travel Blogger Exchange (TBEX) and Women In Travel Summit (WITS) are two travel blogging conferences I want to attend. I want to meet some of the fabulous people I have connected with through social media. I want to improve my blogging and photography skills. I want to learn more about how to make the most of my travel writing.

6. Publish travel e-books. Continue on with the following travel guide in my e-book series. I’m just waiting on the design, and then publication could be just around the corner. I am so excited about the possibilities of this – sharing the knowledge and passion I have about lesser-visited corners of the world.

7. Publish my own digital magazine.  This is a significant New Year goal and something that will take a lot of courage and hard work to bring to fruition next year. A glossy flipbook magazine full of fantastic photography and inspirational travel stories. Making the pages of the atlas real is my world travel dream, and sharing that passion with others in a more professional way is the next step.

8. Celebrate my birthday somewhere incredible, preferably with mountains in view and surrounded by friends. The European Alps are high on my preference list at the moment.

Consider Creating Your Own Travel Bucket List

Creating a world travel bucket list for the new year can be an exciting and inspiring activity. It’s a way to set travel goals and prioritize the destinations you want to explore.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your travel bucket list for the upcoming year:

1. Reflect on Your Interests and Priorities
• Consider your interests, such as culture, history, nature, adventure, relaxation, food, or any other specific aspects of travel that appeal to you.
• Consider your budget, available time, and travel preferences, such as solo travel, family trips, or group adventures.

2. Research Destinations
• Start researching destinations that align with your interests and priorities. Use travel books, travel websites, and social media for inspiration.
• Make a list of countries, cities, and specific places you’ve always wanted to visit.

3. Set Realistic Goals
• Be realistic about the number of trips you can take in a year, considering time and budget constraints.
• Prioritize destinations that are feasible for you to reach within your constraints.

3. Create Categories
• Organize your bucket list into categories, such as domestic trips, international trips, short weekend getaways, long vacations, and dream destinations.

4. Consider Season and Weather
• Keep in mind the best times to visit your chosen destinations. Some places are best visited during specific seasons or weather conditions.

5. Plan Experiences
• Rather than just listing destinations, think about the experiences you want to have in each place. For example, you might want to explore a specific cuisine, go on a hiking adventure, or immerse yourself in local culture.

6. Set Clear Objectives
• Define why you want to visit each travel destination. Is it to relax, learn, explore, or challenge yourself? Setting clear objectives will make your trips more meaningful.

7. Budget and Savings
• Estimate the costs associated with each trip and create a travel budget. This will help you plan your savings and financial goals accordingly.

8. Prioritize and Time Your Travel
• Prioritize your travel destinations on your list based on your interests, goals, and circumstances.
• Create a tentative travel schedule for the year, considering work commitments and personal events.

9. Be Flexible
• While planning is essential, it’s also important to be flexible. Unexpected opportunities or changes in circumstances may lead to new additions or alterations to your travel bucket list.

10. Share and Seek Advice
• Share your travel bucket list with friends, family, or online travel communities. They can offer recommendations and valuable advice based on their experiences.

11. Keep a Travel Journal or Online Document
• Create a travel journal or use an online document to keep track of your progress and notes about each destination. Update it as you plan and execute your trips.

12. Celebrate Achievements
• As you check off destinations and experiences from your bucket list, celebrate your achievements and create lasting memories.

13. Adapt and Evolve
• Over time, your travel interests and priorities may change. Be open to adapting and evolving your travel bucket list to suit your evolving desires.

It’s been my experience that creating a world travel bucket list is a personal and exciting process. It helps you set travel goals and stay motivated to explore the world. Remember that the journey itself is as important as reaching the destinations on your list, so enjoy the planning process and savor every moment of your travels. And don’t let traveling with children stop you from risking great travel adventures.
