Do you make a yearly bucket list of countries you'd like to visit--hopefully before that year ends? Or maybe you just go with the flow and start to plan out your trips according to factors like the season/holiday plans, PTO at work, or around your birthday.
I found that as I get older, I travel for leisure more and more each year. Partially this is due to being in a better financial position to not only cover the travel expenses, but to also be able to travel in a way that doesn't require me to get my blood pressure checked & back to normal after a chaotic travel experience, IYKYK.
But I also believe I've gone on more vacations lately than I have ever before in the past because: 1.) I'm hella intentional about being outside & 2.) I have a travel companion who enjoys traveling with First-Class Energy, just as much as I do.
So when I came across this article about a woman--the first Black woman, who visited every country, my travel bug awakened and literally became an overly inspired bug-a-boo overnight.
All that to say: Where to next, fam?!
While it seems easier to visit IG worthy destinations with the clear water beaches and picturesque scenery and backdrops with the rise in sharing of personal itineraries and hacks for the more popular destinations, I'm wanting to explore some of the less commonly traveled destinations that are just as beautiful but not yet overpopulated with tourists.
As I am vocal and honest about my inability and ZERO desire to plan and organize the trips, we'll see just how my 2023 unique-destination-travels pan out haha. Looks like I'm in desperate need of Ms. Jessica Nabongo's book!
