Travel broadens the mind and delights the taste buds. It allows you to explore the world outside of your own front door, and you almost always come back from your adventures feeling simultaneously satisfied, rejuvenated, and refreshed, ready to take on the mundanity of everyday life once more until your next getaway with increased vigor.

There are a few incredible destinations that should be on your bucket list for 2022!

1. COSTA RICA: HEAVEN FOR CONSERVATIONISTS

Costa Rica does almost everything right. In fact, many would call this place Heaven on earth: It’s home to a myriad of bird species, and it is the most biodiverse nation on the planet.

It also has loads of incredible beaches, sexy men and women who are decidedly fun and flirtatious, and a ton of classically simple and delightful dishes.

Get your surf on, explore a cloud forest, or go ziplining in Costa Rica!

You won’t regret it.

2. ITALY: HEAVEN FOR FOOD-LOVERS

Italy is one of the most incredible places on earth, especially if you’re a lover of pizza and pasta. They’re very proud of their cappuccinos and, when the foam melts on your tongue with the perfect amount of froth, you’ll understand exactly why that is.

It’s also an amazing country for history buffs and art enthusiasts alike.

I mean, it’s hard to beat Florence when it comes to strolling through some of the finest art galleries in the world!

3. CANADA: HEAVEN FOR MUSIC-LOVERS

While you can find some fabulous music everywhere, Canada is particularly well-suited to those who like their bands with a little bit of grit.

You can find all sorts of genres here, from bluegrass to jazz to punk rock. Honestly, Canada has something for everyone, whether you’re craving Poutine or wanting to trek across the Canadian Rockies.

It’s truly a special place, and most Canadians will welcome you with open arms: The stereotypes about these people being quite friendly often ring true!

I hope you enjoy your travels! It’s nice to get away from the every day occasionally and explore the extraordinary.
