Overseas Destinations
From cobblestone European streets to sun-drenched Mediterranean coastlines, these are the international destinations that have been living rent-free in my head. Each one earned its place on this list for a reason — the food, the history, the feeling ...
The city that never stops calling my name. I want to do it slowly — morning croissants at a corner café, wandering the Marais, and finally seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at midnight. Paris isn't a cliché, it's a rite of passage.
Paris, France: All You Must Know Before You Go (2025)
One of those places that's impossible to fully understand until you're standing in front of it. The history, the emotion, the energy — it's unlike anywhere else on earth. On my list for a reason that goes beyond tourism.
Western Wall | Definition, History, & Facts
Every street feels like a movie set and every meal feels like an event. I want to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, eat cacio e pepe where it was invented, and get completely lost in Trastevere with no agenda.
Rome Italy
Beyond the food, there's a rugged coastal beauty here that most people never even think to look up.
Spanish Basque Country
Cobblestone hills, pastel buildings, and the most soul-stirring fado music you've ever heard drifting out of a tiny restaurant. Lisbon feels like Europe's best-kept secret and I want in.
Lisbon, Portugal: All You Must Know Before You Go (2025)
Moody, dramatic, and absolutely cinematic. I want to walk the Royal Mile, explore Edinburgh Castle, and find a cozy pub to wait out the inevitable rain. The kind of city that gets under your skin.
Forever Edinburgh: The Official Guide to Edinburgh
Gaudí alone is worth the flight. But add the beaches, the food scene, and the electric nightlife and Barcelona becomes one of those places you plan to visit once and end up returning to forever.

The gritty, chaotic, completely irresistible counterpoint to Rome. Naples is where pizza was born and where I intend to eat it daily. The access to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast doesn't hurt either.
THE 15 BEST Things to Do in Naples (2025) - Must-See Attractions
Part fever dream, part futuristic marvel. I want to see the Burj Khalifa at sunrise, explore the old spice souks, and experience the contrast of ancient and ultramodern all in one trip.
THE 15 BEST Things to Do in Dubai (2025) - Must-See Attractions
Cliffside villages, impossibly blue water, and lemon everything. The Amalfi Coast is the kind of place you save photos of for years before you finally go — and I'm ready to finally go.
19 Best Things to do in Amalfi Coast: Your Ultimate Guide
Not just Santorini (though yes, absolutely Santorini). I want to island-hop — Mykonos for the energy, Crete for the history, and one tiny off-the-radar island just for the quiet.

Canal bikes, world-class museums, and the most beautiful flower market you've ever seen. Amsterdam rewards slow exploration and I plan to give it exactly that.
THE 15 BEST Things to Do in Amsterdam (2025)
Ancient temples, volcanic landscapes, and food that makes every other Italian region nervous. Sicily feels raw and real in a way that more polished destinations can't quite replicate.

Tiny but mighty. Malta packs ancient megalithic temples, stunning sea caves, and a fascinating layered history into one sun-soaked island. It's been on my radar for years and it's time.
MALTA: THE ULTIMATE BUCKET LIST & TRAVEL GUIDE
The city that gave the world The Smiths, Oasis, and the Haçienda deserves more credit than it gets. Beyond the music legacy, there's a food scene in full bloom, neighborhoods with genuine grit, and an energy that feels earned rather than curated.
THE 15 BEST Things to Do in Manchester (2025) - Must-See Attractions
Waterfalls, castles, and coastlines that look like they belong in a fantasy novel. Wales is the underdog of UK travel and I'm here for it — Snowdonia especially has been on my list forever.

Domestic Adventures
The US has no shortage of places worth obsessing over. This is my running list of domestic destinations I'm actively plotting trips to — from charming coastal towns to mountain escapes that make you forget everything else exists.
Blue Ridge Mountain town meets unexpected art hub. Asheville has this rare combination of hiking trails, a world-class craft beer scene, and a walkable downtown packed with galleries and farm-to-table spots. The kind of place that makes you seriously...
Explore Asheville
Antebellum architecture, salt air, and some of the most elegant hospitality in the South. I want to walk Rainbow Row at golden hour, eat shrimp and grits somewhere legendary, and slow down in a way that only Charleston can make you do.
Charleston, SC | Official Site for Charleston Vacations ...
Dripping in Spanish moss and Southern gothic charm, Savannah is one of the most hauntingly beautiful cities in America. Cobblestone streets, gas-lit squares, and a food scene that's been quietly overachieving for years.

End-of-the-road energy in the best possible way. Sunsets at Mallory Square, fresh stone crab, and that laid-back island pace that makes it impossible to stay stressed. Hemingway lived here for a reason.

The gateway to Acadia and one of the most charming coastal towns on the East Coast. Lobster rolls, kayaking past seal colonies, and that crisp Maine air that makes everything feel more alive. Already planning this one.
Bar Harbor, Maine
Way more than Broadway honky-tonks (though those are essential). Nashville has become a genuinely great food city, a booming arts scene, and the kind of infectious energy that makes every visit feel like a celebration.
Things to Do in Nashville
The end of Long Island and the beginning of something magic. Surfers, seafood shacks, dramatic bluffs, and that effortlessly cool vibe that the Hamptons tries to manufacture but Montauk just has naturally.
Visit Montauk: Welcome to Montauk
Grand Teton views at every turn and some of the best skiing in North America — but honestly the summers might be even better. Wildlife sightings, white water rafting, and après culture that punches well above its weight.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
Glamorous but grounded in the mountains. Aspen is stunning year-round — skiing and apres-ski in winter, wildflower hikes and jazz festivals in summer. The kind of destination that justifies every inch of the splurge.
Aspen, CO | Official Website
A ski town with serious soul. World-class resorts, a charming historic Main Street, and enough outdoor adventures to fill a week — hiking, mountain biking, and stargazing that's genuinely unmatched. Sundance energy is a bonus.
Explore Park City, Utah | Things To Do, Hotels, Events & Dining
Sun-drenched beaches, incredible Mexican food, and a distinctly California energy that's equal parts surf culture and sophistication. Laguna Beach is my specific obsession — bluffs, galleries, and tide pools all in one.
Orange County | Orange County
One of New England's most underrated gems. A walkable waterfront, a food scene that's been quietly thriving, and that storybook coastal New England aesthetic that makes every street feel Instagram-ready. A must on the Maine road trip route.
Portsmouth, NH
Classic East Coast boardwalk energy done right. Funnel cake, the smell of sunscreen, and that specific summer nostalgia that's impossible to replicate. Equal parts kitschy and genuinely fun — no irony required.
Ocean City, Maryland
Montana's wide open skies and some of the most dramatic landscapes in the country. Big Sky gets you close to Yellowstone and deep into Gallatin National Forest — pure wilderness with just enough comfort to make it accessible.
Big Sky Resort
Lowcountry luxury meets laid-back beach vibes. Golf, sea turtle nesting beaches, excellent seafood, and a pace of life that feels genuinely restorative. The kind of place where a week disappears and you're grateful.
Hilton Head Island
