I get asked quite often what my favorite destinations have been and I always struggle with an answer. Reason being, I dive into each adventure with a completely different mindset. Each meticulously designed trip has served a different purpose in my journey.
Sometimes I may be in desperate need of an escape, while others it may just be a quick holiday or perhaps a physical challenge. More often than not, I follow in the footsteps of fellow travel companions as our web of past experiences all weave together and spit out a laundry list of βmust doβ sites.
But there are a bunch of trips that were so profound that they rocked me to my core. These destinations were so majestical and inspiring that they changed my perspective on life forever.
While I canβt realistically put these top 10 in any particular ranking order, these were all truly trips of a lifetime:
- Machu Picchu, Peru – my 1st extreme adventure
- Everest Base Camp – triumph thru being sick to the top of the world
- Mt. Kilimanjaro summit – very emotional as only 2 of our group of 8 made it
- Jordan – Petra, Wadi Rum desert, Dead Sea
- Swiss Alps – Mont Blanc trek hut hopping
- Hawaii island hopping – 2 trips & equally as amazing
- Utah & Arizona hiking – Sedona, Kanab areas, Big 5 National Parks, the Wave
- Egypt, Greece & Turkey multi sport 6 weeks adventure
- 35+ cruises – my early yearsβ ticket to seeing the world
- Bali – a week of recovery & exploration
Wherever your spend your time off, I hope it brings you as much peace and joy that I have experienced and that you keep yearning for more.
Be fearless in your pursuit of your own happiness!
