WanderMoore’s Travel Bucket List
After years of traveling and now starting my own travel blog I thought it was high time I put my Travel Bucket List down on paper. Travel is supposed to inspire, encourage dreaming, and give travelers something to look forward to. Creating a bucket list is the perfect way to do just that, plus it keeps all your travel ideas organized. I want to look back on my life knowing that I lived it to the fullest and did all the things I set out to do. And that starts with bucket list dreaming!
Some of the travel destinations and experiences below have been on my mind for a long time and others have only just come on my radar. But all of them, as is my nature, have been fully researched. So each of the items on my list comes with a link to an article so you can read more about that specific location if you wish. Some of them are feasible in the next few years (Michigan Beach Town Road Trip) and others are big dream trips (African Safari)! Both types of trips are good to have on a bucket list.
I hope you enjoy my Travel Bucket List, that you are inspired by the locations below and set out to create your own bucket list!

Love this list. A lifetime of travel planning awaits. I’m blessed to have seen Lake Louise and Antelope Canyon. Alaskan Cruise would be nice one day! Thanks for sharing the dreams.
What an amazing list! Actually, a lot of them are on my list too. Beautiful pictures too. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that’s a great list ,I have been thinking of creating one for me ..and this one is so helpful
This is such a great list! I’m happy to say I’ve visited some of them but I still have a ways to go! Hopefully, travel will open back up soon so we can get back to the travelling to these awesome places 🙂
I love this unique idea on how you made your Bucket list! There is a lot of beautiful places. Glad you had Boracay on you list, it’s the most famous beach in the Philippines.
These are some great bucket list ideas!! Especially love the South America ones — this continent has my heart 🙂
Great list of ideas! It will take me a while to really go through them. I can already say that I’m adding a tree house in Costa Rica to my list!
This list is terrific! I want to go everywhere on it!!!!
