5 Easy Steps To Get Started

It can be overwhelming trying to identify and prioritize the travel you want to experience. Our Virtuoso Travel Advisors are always here to help, and we recommend you start by using the following steps:

1 – There Are No Bad Ideas

When you first sit down and start thinking through all the places you’d like to see and experience, it can be easy to talk yourself out of them and try to be “practical”. When you’re creating your bucket list, dream big!

There are no bad ideas, so open your mind and let it wander to all of the places you’ve dreamed of seeing. You can always edit your list later.

As you start jotting down ideas, ask yourself:

Where would I go if my budget wasn’t a consideration?
What international foods do I want to try?
Are there any specific monuments or sites I want to see?
If I was 100 years old and looking back on my life, where would I regret not going?

2 – Write Down Places You’ve Already Visited

It’s always a good idea to keep track of the places you’ve visited. You can check them off your list and also make note of ones you want to see again. Just because you’ve already been to Rome or the Bahamas or Australia (or anywhere else on the planet) doesn’t mean you’ve seen everything there is to see there.

Keeping track of what you’ve already experienced can also help you identify trends in your travel. Do you usually only travel to coastal locations? Do you stick to adventure travel experiences or are family vacations more your speed?

3 – Identify Specific Experiences You Want To Try

Is there a regional cuisine you’ve always wanted to eat? Maybe there’s a specific landmark you can’t wait to visit or a sightseeing adventure tour a friend of yours has been raving about for years that you can’t wait to try yourself?

Whether it’s running with the bulls in Pamplona, taking in the majesty of the Taj Mahal in India, or finally trying authentic Cajun cuisine in New Orleans, write down the experiences you know you don’t want to miss!

4 – Get Inspired

Once you’ve written down all the places you want to visit and experiences you know you want to have, go online for a little more inspiration. Pinterest can be a wonderful tool to search for “bucket list destinations”. Browse the lists other people have shared and get ideas to add to your own list!

5 – Ask For Help
