As the new year begins, I’m revisiting my Europe travel bucket list for 2026.
So I'm sharing the destinations that are calling my name — along with a few beloved places I’m eager to return to.
This annual tradition is less about rigid travel plans and more about dreaming, reflecting and noticing how our travel wishes evolve over time.
In this episode, I walk through my Travel Bucket List for 2026, highlighting a mix of new destinations and long-time favorites across Europe.
From England’s countryside and dramatic coastlines to iconic regions of France, Italy, Ireland and Scandinavia, I share what’s drawing me to each place and why they’ve earned a spot on my travel bucket list this year.
I also touch on the places I’m most excited to revisit — destinations that left a lasting impression and still have more stories to reveal.
Whether it’s returning to wild landscapes, exploring quieter regions, or imagining a future long-distance walk, this episode is about how travel dreams shift as we do.
If you love Europe travel, reflective planning, and using a travel bucket list as a source of inspiration rather than pressure, this episode is for you.
