One of my favourite to-do lists of all time has been my travel bucketlist. When I was growing up my parents made it our yearly goal to go on holiday – it didn’t matter how far or how close it was, but we would pack our bags and travel for a couple of weeks to a whole new place. But, sadly, as I grew up and moved out for university it all changed… I travelled a lot less – so much so that for a few years I didn’t go anywhere at all.
But now I’ve been hit by the wanderlust bug, hard. I just want to go out and explore! I’ve been scrolling endlessly through travel blogs and came across Kirsty’s post on ‘30 countries before 30‘ and it really inspired me to write this post.
So here it is – my ultimate travel bucketlist. I’ll put a little heart next to the places I’ve been and things I’ve done (that I might revisit one day).

I’ve linked the ones I’ve written for blog posts for, as I’d love to do more travel blogging, but some I didn’t really have any photos for as I was very young when I went… I guess it gives me another reason to go again!
Pin me for later!

The only place I’ve been on this list is New York City – it’s the most amazing city I’ve ever been to (and the shopping is the best! lol) There’s so much to do in NYC! #1 on my travel list is going to Paris, it looks so beautiful! I also really want to go to London, San Francisco, and Amsterdam.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

If you are looking for great Harry Potter destinations, there is a tour that leaves from Edinburgh and takes you to some gorgeous HP filming locations in the highlands! I wrote about it in my post about Scotland over on my blog if you are interested!
