My 2023 Travel Wishlist is In!
Before we get into 2023, can we recap my 2022 travel list? If you’re new here, I dedicated my 2022 to traveling somewhere at least once a month– and I did just that! Coming from a girl who had only been to about 12 of 50 states and never outside of the country, more traveling was number one on my list. Though I didn’t get to every place on my travel wishlist, I ended the year with adding 5 new states, 5 new cities, and 1 country to my archive.
A New Perspective on Traveling
This time around, instead of only listing cities/countries, I’m also going to add experiences that I want to try. In true collegiate style, I’ve done a great deal of research– and by that I mean I searched “black girls who travel” on TikTok. While some of these experiences may be solo, I want to make sure they are black girl friendly. On the flipside– shout out to my girls setting the tone for more traveling, more experiences, and more life! Okay, in the words of my good sister Glorilla, let’s goooooooooo!
Let’s Goooooo!
#1 Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona:
I love art, color, and nature so clearly this is the place for me! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing earths art and taking lots of pictures.
#2 Treehouse Getaway:
As a kid we all loved playing in the treehouse, I think this will be nostalgic and birth some great memories.
#3 Ski Resort:
My usual preference is to be warm however, I do love the snow and the idea of going skiing.. not too sure if I’m actually down for the slopes.
#4 Drone Photoshoot:
Yep, all those days of me going hard in the gym have to pay off someway, I think a photo of me floating in a clear kayak (in Thailand) is it!
#5 Feed Giraffes & Elephants:
Something about this brings me so much joy and peace, I just know I’m going to love it!
#6 Floating Breakfast:
We’ve seen it, and honestly we all deserve to experience our breakfast floating to us at least once in our lifetime, right?
#7 Rainforest/Waterfall:
I’ve always been so in love with waterfalls and rainforests ever since I can remember. Being in the heart of nature is something we should all experience.
#8 Wellness Resort/Spa:
I enjoy all things wellness and staying at a wellness resort for a few days has never done any harm to anyone.
#9 Surfing Lessons:
As you can see I love water which is unintentionally the theme of this blog. If I had to choose, surfing would be my top water sport of choice!
#10 Orient Express:
Who doesn’t want to live out their luxury train ride dreams in style? Okay, just checking #allaboard!!
#11 Wine Vineyard:
Wine should be my middle name for so many reasons.. I’m looking forward to expanding my palate and finding something that fits my late 20’s– lol
#12 Detty December:
Well, we all know the vibes.. I must go!
Experience Something NEW!
Needless to say, this year we’re not just taking the same old turn up trips– we’re experiencing new things! Gone are the days where we sit at home and dream about the places and things we crave doing. This travel wishlist is the blueprint to actually making it happen. Feel free to take my travel wishlist as your own, and let me know each time you cross something off the list. Better yet, DM me with any additions you think I should add or if you simply want to join #letsgooo.
As always, stay fierce!
