Every summer, I have the urge to plan a trip, yet we rarely travel in the summer. I think it would be fun to visit a new city or destination every year, so I’ve been keeping a running list of places I’d love to visit. Some are for their natural beauty, others for the charm, and some just for the food. Here’s what’s on my summer travel bucket list.
Bucket List Travel Places
New York City

I’ve traveled to New York a few times for work. When you travel for business, you rarely get to experience the city. On my last trip, I was able to do some sightseeing and visit the September 11 Memorial and Museum, as well as the top of the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. This city is on my travel bucket list because I’d love to go back to explore the different neighborhoods, see a few Broadway shows, and check out some restaurants.
Savannah, GA

Savannah appears to be the perfect blend of history and charm. The moss-draped trees, cobblestone streets, and beautiful homes are reason enough to go, but I’ve also heard the food scene is worth the trip.
Charleston, SC

Charleston has been on my list forever. I’d love to see Rainbow Row, the French Quarter, and the Battery districts.
Yosemite National Park, CA

Have you visited any of our national parks? I haven’t and need to change that. Yosemite is at the top of national parks on my travel bucket list. I’d love to hike to the Half Dome, see the waterfalls, and giant sequoias.
Yellowstone National Park, WY

Yellowstone is another national park on my travel bucket list. I’d love to see the geysers erupt, check out the hot springs, and of course, spot all of the wildlife (without getting too close)!
Jekyll Island, GA

Jekyll Island seems like a hidden gem with its quiet beaches (Driftwood Beach is at the top of my list) and bike trails. It would be the perfect escape to unplug for a few days.
Mackinac Island, MI

I recall taking the ferry to Mackinac Island as a child, and I’ve always wanted to return as an adult. I love that there are no cars on the island, and it feels like a step back in time.
San Diego, CA

San Diego is another city I traveled to for work at some point, but I didn’t get to explore. It seems to check all the boxes for a travel bucket list: beaches, great food, and perfect weather.
Napa Valley, CA

A wine weekend in Napa sounds like the perfect mix of relaxation and indulgence. I’d love to visit a few vineyards, enjoy long lunches, take in the views, and shop.
These spots all offer something different, and I’m hoping to check at least one of them off my travel bucket list this year. Have you been to any of these destinations? Let me know in the comments!
