    5 Best Bucket List Destinations for World Travel in 2024



    This video is a list of five of the best tourist destinations in the world for 2024. This list includes the Faroe Islands, Lake Atitlan Guatemala, Raja Ampat Indonesia, Folegandros Greece, and Milford Sound New Zealand.

    Not only are each of these travel destinations incredibly beautiful, they are each incredibly beautiful places without quite as many visitors.

    ▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.

    We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.

    We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.

      Though with only 24 countries visited (just returned from Uganda last month), the Wolgangsee area outside of Salzburg, Austria 🇦🇹 is breathtaking. St Gilgen and the Himmelspforte Schafberg are amazing. Wife & I love your channel and we hope to retire in the next few years and travel even more! – Robert & Jill

      So glad NZ made it to your list! I know you’ve already been, but the Cinque Terre in Italy is our family favourite. Our kids were 8 & 10 when we went, so it ticks the boxes across a range of ages. Just posting this for others reading the comments. If you come back to NZ, our personal idyll is the Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South Island. Very peaceful. Safe travels.

      After watching one of your videos, my husband came to me and said that he wanted to really retire in two years. I say "really" because he supposedly retired from teaching 14 years ago, but some school always seems to convince him to return to the classroom. We are actually beginning the process of cleaning out and getting ready to sell our house. This time I believe him and have created a file for places to go and these 5 places will definitely be included in our plans.

      Each location looks amazing. Such beauty you both get to experience! Love your videos. Now I’m curious about solo travel.

      Patagonia!!! Hike to base of Fitzroy (the mountain on Patagonia's logo!) from El Chalten, Argentina AND hike the "O" or "W" through trek in Torres del Paine Nat'l Park in Chile. And while you're in Paragonia, don't miss the Perito Moreno Glacier. AWE-inspiring!!!

      Hi Bev and John, Another beautiful video! I loved the drone footage! Here are a few more places to add to your list: Norway (Lofoten and fjord areas), Patagonia, Japan (Kyoto, Tokyo, mountain towns), Swiss Alps (Jungfrau, Zermatt), Italian Dolomites, Barcelona and nearby towns, Bahamas, Alaska, and French Polynesia! Just so many places and wonderful people to meet! Keep traveling and continuing to share your awesome videos! We are here with your grandkids watching them intently and cheering you on! Cheers!

      Breathtaking! My current five: The Dordogne River Valley around Sarlat France, Zion National Park + Capitol Reef National Park in Utah USA, the less touristy parts of the Great Wall of China, the many fresh water cold springs in Florida USA, and in/around Oaxaca, Mexico.

      Woohoo NZ made the list! My favourite place in NZ is actually Lake Tekapo. And our favourite place (so far) in the world, is Banff in Canada. Just something about alpine villages.

      I have been to only Milford Sound from your list, which I would definitely agree with you on. Others look really enticing, too. But I would also add to the list: 1) Hiking Mt Kilimanjaro, 2) Overland Trucking from Cape Town to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe through Namibia and Botswana (Deadvlei and Tented Lodging in Okavango Delta were fascinating), 3) Zanzibar in Tanzania, and 4) Trekking in Patagonia. Keep traveling! Cheers!

      Obviously, everyone has their own "bucket list" choices, but for adventurous travelers who are sick of seeing a Starbucks (or two) at every corner, India should be at the top of the list. I have been a couple of times and have traversed much of the sub-continent. It is absolutely incredible. My partner and I are at 54 countries…and counting!

      As an aside that has nothing to do with "Bucket Lists"…
      I'm a retired motion picture Editor and Producer who worked in Hollywood for more than three decades. Your videos are very well shot and edited. As someone who is now in their early 60's, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the pacing of your editing. Nowadays, you can't watch a TV show, movie, commercial, or YouTube video without being bombarded with absurdly frenetic editing. You guys are doing a great job!

      I’ve been to Lake Atitlan several times with a friend who is a missionary to Guatemala. I was thrilled to see you’ve been there – it’s certainly isn’t a mainstream tourist destination.

    23. Miqelle on

      Love your channel and your website.
      US places I’d go back—Painted Rocks National Seashore, UP, MI—Black Hills SD—Kauai, HI—Ogunquit, Maine, White Mountains, NH
      Intl-Ometepe, Nicaragua—Amazon Rain Forest, Ecuador, Scottish or English Highlands
      On my list: Mongolia, Bhutan, Mafia Island, TZ, Madeira, Portugal, Vietnam and Cambodia, Botswana, Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Morocco, Dolomides—Italy

      Hi, just watched your 5 Bucket list destinations. We have already been to 3 of them! We/I are walkers so will be looking at Faroe Islands again for walking. If you want to go to one of the most interesting / beautiful places in the world, re flora and fauna etc, look up Lord Howe Island. Also look at Namibia .There are so many, our bucket list is quite long!

    25. Anonymous1 on

      Thanks for sharing. I have seen some recent articles about the Faroe Islands. I need to hurry up and visit there before it gets busier with tourists!

    27. foopah on

      Sorry to keep asking you questions, but I'd love to here about your down days. The ones where you have nothing to do. How many do you have or are you always busy planning the next destination? What do you do on those days you have nothing to do?

    28. Rebecca S on

      Wow what a great video. I love your channel. You two are so inspirational. I’m retiring at the end of the year and can’t wait to start my adventure too.

      Hi Bev and John, Great Bucket List Destinations, thanks for the info. My wife and I are inspired by your guys, and are planing to live oversea now. Quick questions: while you guys are living oversea, do you still keep USA cell phone number? How do you keep the monthly cell phone bill minimal? What is the plan and with which carrier? Thanks in advance, Jian

      My favorite destinations so far (26 countries and counting), in no particular order, Katmai National Park for the brown bears, Uganda for gorilla trekking, Galapagos, Paris (so many great museums), and scuba diving in Indonesia. And like you guys, we LOVE the USA National Parks!

      I loved having gone to (1):Hadrian's Wall with jump-off point from Carlisle visiting first the Carlisle Castle, Carlisle Cathedral, Tullie Museum & Art Gallery in Carlisle, urban capital of Cumbria which is in the far northern corner of England and near the Scottish border; (2) visit to the Highlands seeing Loch Lomond, Lochness, Three Sisters (mountain ranges), Glencoe, Lochness, Fort Williams with jump-off point in Glasgow, Scotland; clear aquamarine waters amidst limestone cliffs and white sand beaches that goes on and on but still shallow waters of Coron and El Nido in Palawan Philippines; Batan Island (main island) in Batanes, northern tip of the Philippines but visit must be in summer months of March & April if wanting to visit the thick stone-walled old houses in Sabtang Island because of rough waters if rainy months; and sights of Bohol, Philippines like the many Chocolate Hills, the smallest primate called Tarsier, white sand beaches of Panglao island, Hinagdanan Cave with subterranean waters to bathe in the cool waters. Many more like going Badian Canyoneering in Kawasan Falls in Cebu, Philippines where you play in waters from one place to another like walking on waters, sliding on rocks (like slides in park) from flowing waters, swing from rope jumping on waters, etc. with a guide.
