New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be the same old clichés. Why not turn that traditional list into an exciting journey? Imagine a collection of remarkable places you've always wanted to visit, transforming dreams into reality. A friend once told me, “Planning your next trip keeps your motivation alive.” This thought motivates me to not just dream about travel but actively pursue it.
As I map out my travel plans for 2025 and beyond, I’m excited to share my upcoming adventures, including group experiences available for everyone. Let's dive into this thrilling journey together!
Individual Adventures Await
Returning to Sri Lanka and Singapore
In March, my partner and I are thrilled to head back to Sri Lanka and Singapore. Each destination promises unique experiences guaranteed to leave lasting memories.
In Sri Lanka, expect breathtaking landscapes from lush tea plantations to serene beaches. For instance, visiting Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers both adventure and awe-inspiring views. Or indulge in the vibrant street food scene by trying out the famous kottu rotti, a spicy stir-fried dish that locals love.
Singapore, on the other hand, is a bustling hub of culture and modernity. A visit to the Gardens by the Bay showcases a stunning collection of plants and nighttime light shows. Plus, don’t miss out on the local cuisine by exploring various hawker centers, such as Maxwell Food Centre, known for its delicious Hainanese chicken rice served at affordable prices.
Cultural Gems in Mexico
In April, we plan a getaway to Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta for a long weekend. Living in San Diego makes this trip both convenient and thrilling.
Mexico City is a cultural hotspot bursting with history and unforgettable food. Exploring the Zócalo, the largest square in Latin America, will immerse us in vibrant Mexican culture as we see stunning architecture all around. We’re eager to try authentic street tacos, which can cost as little as 10 pesos (about 50 cents) each for a satisfying meal.
Then there’s Puerto Vallarta, where relaxation meets lively nightlife. With beautiful beaches and opportunities for outdoor activities like ATV tours in the surrounding jungles, this trip is the perfect blend of adventure and leisure.
European Dream: Italy, Greece, and Croatia
Later this year, we’re designing a grand trip through Europe, stopping in Italy, Greece, and Croatia—three countries that offer a rich variety of experiences.
Italy has always enchanted me with its timeless art and culinary wonders. Trying a classic Neapolitan pizza in its birthplace is a must, along with exploring the breathtaking Amalfi Coast. Did you know that this coastline is made up of 13 picturesque towns, with Positano being the most famous for its colorful cliffside houses?
In Greece, we plan to soak up the sun on the beaches of Santorini and appreciate the ancient history in Athens. Climbing to the Acropolis is not only educational but provides panoramic views of this historic city. For relaxation, we’ll unwind on the pristine beaches where the Aegean Sea meets golden sands.
Finally, Croatian islands promise breathtaking views and unique landscapes. Expect to marvel at Dubrovnik, a UNESCO site, often praised for its stunning architecture and fortified walls. Such destinations make for unforgettable memories.
Planned Group Travels
New Zealand's Natural Beauty
For adventurers looking to travel together, I'm excited to announce a group trip to New Zealand in the fall of 2025. We’ll be visiting iconic cities like Auckland and Christchurch, and have plans that may include many incredible natural wonders in between.
Australia Awaits
For adventurers looking to travel together, I'm excited to announce a group trip to Australia in the January of 2026. We’ll be visiting iconic cities like Sydney and Melbourne, and have plans that may include Tasmania or the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef.
Australia’s diverse landscapes are incredible, from rugged coastlines to vibrant urban settings. Imagine visiting the Sydney Opera House and then enjoying a gourmet meal in one of Melbourne’s top restaurants. With more than 50 million visitors in 2019, it’s clear that Australia offers experiences that attract travelers worldwide
