The Most Popular Bucket List Destinations
Let’s be honest — we’ve all got a travel bucket list tucked away in our notes app or scribbled in the back of a journal. That list of “one day” places we swear we’ll visit — but somehow, life keeps getting in the way.
In this community-powered episode of Wingin’ It, Wisely, I asked you:
What’s at the top of your bucket list? And wow, the responses were good. 😍
One of the top picks? Thailand — no surprise there. Between the dreamy beaches, buzzing street markets, and elephant sanctuaries, it’s a solid all-rounder for adventure, relaxation, and affordable luxury.
Another standout? One of you wild souls said you wanted to drive through all 50 US states — and honestly, I’m obsessed with the energy. Just imagine the playlist you’d need for that trip!
I asked someone to work out how long your Spotify playlist would need to be in order to not listen to the same song more than once…someone do that maths ASAP and let me know!
I also shared some of my own bucket list dreams — like getting an old campervan and driving around Europe, slow-living my way through hidden beaches and mountain villages.
And let’s not forget my soft spot for Tokyo during cherry blossom season — it’s been high on my list forever. I talk about my dreams of going next year…The culture, the food, the aesthetic ✨... I need it.
But here’s the real takeaway:
Bucket list travel shouldn’t just be a someday thing.
It’s not about endless savings or waiting for the “perfect” time — it’s about prioritising travel like it’s a non-negotiable.
If you truly will not be fulfilled in life until you have visited your bucket list location, then it is a need, not a must. Bucket lists destinations look different for us all, but one thing they have in common is their importance, and the need for them to actually occur.
In the episode, I dive into practical ways to turn dream trips into real ones:
Mindset shifts that make travel feel doable
Why treating travel like a bill (yes, really) actually works
Simple ways to start planning today — even if you’re broke or busy
How to cut costs on accommodation
And so much more…
