Every traveler seeks that perfect next destination—a place that sparks their imagination, brimming with culture and natural diversity, and, of course, is stunningly picturesque. This week, Yaya and I have been on a mission to decide where our next vacation should take us. Like any blogger, I swiftly made a list of the top places calling my name right now.
I used to do something similar about a decade ago, back in my younger days. I’d collect and cut out pictures from my parents’ magazines of all the amazing places I dreamed of visiting as a kid. Looking back, I’m sure my parents weren’t too thrilled to find their magazines in pieces. Sorry, Mom and Dad!
So, for our planning session, we considered places that are both nearby and farther afield because adventure can be found close to home too! Here are 12 nostalgic spots that are at the top of my bucket list this week. Let me know if I’ve missed any must-see places!
1. Barcelona, Spain
2. Tenby, Wales
3. Navy Pier, Chicago
4. Portofino, Italy
5. Portmeirion, Wales
