The older I get, the more I want to see the world around me. As I sat down to write my goals for 2020, I started to think about where in this world do I want to explore. A couple of hours later, my Travel Bucket List Series was born.
Throughout 2020, I will be highlighting my top 30 places on my travel bucket list to explore in the world. I have broken it down to 15 international destinations and 15 U.S. destinations. By no means is this list meant to be inclusive; it is merely the places I want to see most in the world before exploring others.
Every week or so, I will be posting about one of the places on the list. The posts will include photos, where I would like to stay, sites to see, and more. Each week I will alternate writing between an international and a U.S. destination.
Believe it or not, it was much easier to come up with 15 international destinations than
These are my top 30. Please check back each week or so as I highlight each of these magnificent places.

What a great idea Heather, I love all the places you listed in there. My bucket list is never ending 🙂 I love the fact that you have the Canadian Rockies on your list. I hope you can visit one day.

Good idea to make a bucket list at home as well as an international one. For Christmas markets, Germany and Alsace in France are great. Happy trails!!!
Heather | 17th Jan 20
Thank you! I will check them out.
Crystal @ Our Little Bunch | 16th Jan 20
What a great idea! Many of your international places are on my list as well. Except for the Canadian Rockies 🙂 since I live in BC, Canada, and have driven through them many times. They are stunning!
Heather | 17th Jan 20
That is our first trip. We leave in June.
Lori Nielsen | 16th Jan 20

These are quite incredible lists! You’ve got some great locations listed on both. My family and I visited Iceland last summer and that is by far and wide the most exciting and absolutely amazing place I’ve ever seen. I hope you get to visit there soon!

What was your favorite part?

I appreciate your commend, “The older I get, the more I want to see the world around me.” We have been fortunate to travel out of the country for many years. As I get older I notice I like seeing what is near me in my state and town.
Heather | 17th Jan 20
That is great!
Kita | 18th Jan 20
It is so hard to narrow it all down to one list. but I think its smart to prioritize the where’s to a reasonable list! I see we share some similar top places! 😀
Courtney | 18th Jan 20
You have a great list! I enjoy reading about your travels!
Amanda | 19th Jan 20

Great list! It’ll be amazing checking these off. Amalfi was a favorite along with Alaska. Took us by surprise. Checking off a few big travels ourselves this year
Trisha | 21st Jan 20
That’s my favorite Disney quote!
These are amazing lists! Makes it hard not to jump on the computer and book some vacations!
Christina | 25th Jan 20
This is a great list! A few of your places are on my list as well! A found a few I need to add. I think it’s a great idea that you’re coming back to talk about the locations you chose. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
