Bucket-List Destinations for 2024
Iberian Peninsula: Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Imagine crossing history’s crossroads through Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. The Iberian Peninsula has rich cultural traditions combined with incredible natural beauty. One can hardly resist the rhythm of flamenco and the taste of tapas in Granada, Spain. Famous wine tastings along the Douro River are found in Portugal’s Porto. Morocco will complete the experience with Moorish architecture, souks filled with spices, and the bustle of cities in Marrakech and Fez. In their entirety, these three countries create an enchanting tapestry of landscapes, cultures, and cuisines that belong on any traveler’s bucket list.
Japan
It’s like nowhere else on earth, especially in cherry blossom season. If you are looking for a feast for the senses, especially in spring, then Japan’s Tokyo high-energy streets would be a great contrast to Kyoto’s historical shrines and the serene beauty found on Miyajima Island. From dining at Tokyo’s Michelin-star restaurants through the neon-lit Osaka streets and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Japan offers a unique mix of ancient tradition mixed with modern innovation. Visit springtime to catch a peach blossom festival or, for those in Japan, the cherry blossoms, and cities are transformed into seas of pink.
South Korea
For those who have explored Japan and seek something equally engaging, South Korea is the place to go. This vibrant country is the perfect blend of ancient tradition and cutting-edge technology. Starting in Seoul where culinary delights like kimchi and Korean BBQ await. History buffs should head over to Imjingak Resort Unification Park for a glimpse into North Korea from a safe distance. South Korea is more lively, with a bustling nightlife, markets, and history to follow up on Japan.
Vietnam
Vietnam is full of promises of adventure and luxury without losing one’s fortune. This tour begins from the land of the Mekong Delta where floating villages and groves of coconut trees take your breath away. Try some of Hoi An’s traditional architectural streets in addition to one of their most famous Banh-Mi sandwiches, all the way up to an exquisite tour around Ha Long Bay- its towering cliffs of stone, and wooden boats. To visit Vietnam is to spend at little cost the high life.
Italy
Italy is always popular, and with the next installment of Gladiator coming this year, Rome’s Colosseum is bound to be a hot ticket in 2024. Italy packs a unique combination of history, art, and food. Visitors can walk in the footsteps of gladiators, enjoy the rich culture of cities like Florence and Venice, or retreat to the vineyards and coastal villages of the countryside. With direct flights again going from Perth to Rome, Italy is an old favorite addition to any bucket list.
Botswana
Botswana is a superb safari dream destination. With luxurious safari lodges catering to the most privileged travelers, Botswana is an experience par excellence in the African wilderness. The “Big Five” can be seen at Josh’s recommendation-the Xigera Safari Lodge-while enjoying some of the best lodging experiences, and due to the few number of tourists, the wildlife contact is up close and personal.
North America
North America caters to every taste, making it the top choice for 2024. From the icy peaks of Utah’s ski resorts to the sun-drenched beaches of Hawaii “North America has it all”. For nature lovers, there is the Rocky Mountains wilderness. Urbanites can indulge in New York City’s busy hustle and bustle. Las Vegas promises excitement through its casinos and shows, and New Orleans offers vibrant nightlife with a historic twist.
