Full disclosure: I always get hungry when I write this kind of articles!
Chris and I are both huge foodies so when we research a travel destination we always check out where and what to eat too. We always, I mean ALWAYS try the local food. The best way to experience a destination is by visiting its famous landmarks, meeting the locals and trying out the traditional dishes.
Who here has a bucket list of travel destinations or travel experiences? I certainly do!
One thing on our travel bucket list, which we can tick as done, was to drive on the famous Route 66.
Aloha! Hawaii has been on our bucket list for a while, so what better time to visit than now!? All we knew about Hawaii was basically from movies and that it is far far away, so a lot of research took place before we decided on which islands to visit. There are 8 major islands in Hawaii, 7 of which
you can explore.
In our travels so far we discovered that the things/places you least expect impress you the most. We would have never imagined that the desert in California would be this impressive, that it is defined by more than sand and wind, and that it actually holds some unique and incredible life, like the Joshua Trees.
Chris has always been fascinated by the hustle and bustle of a big city, so I have to give it to him that visiting Hong Kong was purely his idea. I did not know what to expect from this concrete jungle but I was left in awe by this intricate cityscape.
To be honest Sri Lanka was never on our travel bucket list, however while planning a trip to the Maldives we had a layover in Colombo, so we decided to extend it and give Sri Lanka a chance.
Our trip to Sri Lanka was on a very tight schedule because we wanted to see the most important sights and we only had a very short time, due to this we had to change locations almost every day, sleeping in different hotels or resorts.
Maldives has been very high on my bucket list, so when we decided to go there for my birthday we wanted it to be perfect. We had in mind the full Maldivian experience, with the lovely over water bungalows and the perfect blue water.
Some might hear of the Caribbean blue...Some might see that it is true...
Our trip to the Caribbean was a very spontaneous decision. We had a few vacation days left so in the spur of a moment we got the plane tickets, booked our accommodation and one month later we were in the Dominican Republic.
I had no idea how much I wanted to visit Singapore before I got there! I don't think this makes any sense to you, but it sure does to me...so let me elaborate.
Conde Nast Traveler just ranked the 30 bests islands in the world in the 2017 Readers Choice Awards and the number one is...(drum roll please)...the one and only Boracay in the Philippines! Following up close on 2nd and 3rd place are two other islands in the Philippines as well: Cebu and Palawan.
I love Italy! But this is coming from a girl who's favorite food is pizza (besides french fries, but that's a different story).
If you have a romantic weekend getaway in mind, Venice would definitely be the right choice.
Voted the best island in the world for 3 years in a row by the Travel + Leisure readers, El Nido - Palawan in the Philippines should definitely be on your travel bucket list.
I remember while planning our trip to Venice, I was most excited of the day trip to Burano. When seeing pictures of this colourful little town I just couldn't wait to get there and see it with my own eyes.
