Top 25 Dream Destinations Around the World
Some of these dream destinations have been on our wish list for a long time. We even asked readers to pick where we should go next. Iceland and Peru were tied and we are working on making both of those trips happen soon (check each destination for an update)! The great thing about wish lists is you can always add more wishes to it. Hopefully our list will inspire you to update your list, and share your favorites with us. We love hearing of new destinations!

  1. Hawaii

A top dream destination for incredible beaches, lush tropical forests, and picture perfect waterfalls. We would add in chasing waterfalls, epic hiking and seeking #SundaySunsets to the trip.

  1. Iceland

A nature lover and photographers dream destination. We want to backpack, explore ice caves, visit waterfalls, and relax in the Blue Lagoon. I think we will have to visit in the winter for Northern Lights and in the summer for backpacking.

  1. Peru

Hiking the classic Inca trail to Machu Picchu, and lesser known hikes like Ausangate trek, and Rainbow Mountain are on our wish list too. Visiting Inca ruins, see the salt mines, tour the Amazon jungle, and of course take some photos with llamas!

** Update- we didn’t hike the Inca Trail or Ausangate but did the 9 day Choquequirao trek in Peru. See why we love Peru and want to go back again! **
