Top Ten: Travel Bucket List for Adventurous Families

I’ve been spending a few minutes each day over on NotePD. It’s a website dedicated toward capturing Idea Lists – the principle is that you dedicate yourself to coming up with 10 new ideas a day. They might not be good ideas, but by making a daily practice of it, your ‘creative muscles’ get their exercise. I really enjoy it, and when I did a Clifton Strengths Finder test, ‘Ideation’ came up as one of my top 5, so it makes sense that I would enjoy that sort of thing.

One of my lists of ideas was ‘Travel Bucket List for Adventurous Families‘, which I decided to re-publish here.

1: Thailand
I went here for our honeymoon, and it has a wide variety of terrains and eco-systems that would make an extended trip a lot of fun.

2: Costa Rica
Similar appeal to Thailand, only I’m the only one in the family to have been there.

3: New Zealand
My wife went in her 20s, and she’s been obsessed ever since.

4: Ireland
I think there are some beautiful walks and hikes. A friend of mine bike toured it too.

5: Japan
A bit questionable for this list, but I’ve been fascinated by elements of Japanese culture, and I’ll bet a family can find fun things to do.

6: Belize
Reputed to be very Costa Rica like

Pastoral setting, getting around by bike, FOOD!

8: Spain – Andalusia
I loved Seville and the surrounding area on a solo trip. Suitability for family activities would need to be investigated

9: Switzerland (Winter)
Skiing. Cheese, Chocolate.

10: Gros Morne, NL, Canada
I’ve had this as a camping/hiking goal for several years now.

Would any of these make your top ten? I can’t say as they are necessarily ranked in order, but if I were to rank them, what should be number one?
