Bucket list: Kenya

Flamingos in Kenya

I know I’ve written a bucket list for Africa in the past but this month I wanted to get a bit more specific and do a Kenya bucket list as Kenya’s definitely a destination in Africa I’ve got my eye on for a future trip for us. From the variety of safari options to the

Bucket list: Scotland

We’re anxiously counting down to our next big Europe trip that’s happening this summer, where we’ll be checking out England, Scotland, and Ireland and I’m thrilled we’ll be able to cross two countries off of our travel bucket list! While we went to London just back in 2018, I’m super excited to see more of

Bucket list: China

Sunset in China

We’ve got a few big travel destinations still waiting to be crossed off our bucket list and one of  the biggest is China. We don’t yet have anything in the works in terms of traveling to China, but a couple of our friends are working hard at making a case for us to go there

Bucket list: Brazil

Rio de Janeiro

From the vibrant colors of Carnival to the emerald hues along the coast, there’s a lot for us to see and do in Brazil when we finally check it off our bucket list! Unless we get a generous amount of time off from our jobs, there’s no way we’ll be able to knock all these

Bucket list: Colombia

Medellin, Colombia

South America is yet to be crossed off our travel bucket list and I think when we do finally make it down there, Colombia might be our first pick! Colombia is a safe travel destination with safe drinking water and not as much crime as people expect – like any travel destination, be smart about

Bucket list: Norway

Norway

With my Norwegian roots, it only seems right that Norway make the list of future travel destinations for us, so I’ve started putting together our Norway bucket list! From the picture-perfect fjords to gigantic, snowy mountains, I feel there’ll be plenty to keep us busy as we explore this Scandinavian country. Rich in Viking culture,

Bucket list: New Zealand

Maori rock carvings

Seeing as tomorrow is my birthday (woo!), I thought I’d take over the bucket list topic for June as New Zealand is a top pick on my list! Known for its incredible landscapes and vibrant greenery, New Zealand has been a bucket list destination for me for a long time – and one I plan

Bucket list: British Columbia, Canada

I have a confession to make as a Minnesotan. I’ve never crossed the border up into Canada even though my accent has made many people think I’m Canadian. I know, I’m a bad Northerner and really need to cross Canada off the bucket list and go back to my roots of nice people, hockey, and

Bucket list: Romania

Transylvania, tales of Dracula, and a rich European history beckon in Romania! While we’ve got the castles of Scotland and Ireland up next on our big Europe trip in 2020, I’ve been keeping my eye on Romania as a good travel destination for another return visit to Europe. I’ve heard wonderful things about it and
