My husband and I have been discussing our future travel plans a lot at the moment and thinking of places to go on our family travel bucket list. Throughout our almost ten years of marriage, we have spent most of it having babies! Now the three kids are getting that little bit older (and there’s certainly no plan for baby number 4!) we can now focus on seeing new places!
There are plenty of places we’d love to visit in Europe that are a little closer to home but we also have a list of long haul destinations that we would love to visit. Here’s just a few :
Mauritius
Who wouldn’t want to visit Mauritius? The turquoise ocean, the white sandy beaches, it looks like the ultimate luxury holiday. You could make it even more luxurious if you chose to charter a private jet! Jettly is a great site to use if you’re looking for the best charter private jet cost. It’s somewhere we have considered for when the kids are a little bit older, so while we’re not lucky enough to be looking at holidays to Mauritius in 2018, it’s hopefully one for the future.
Sydney
We have wanted to Sydney for such a long time. From the opera house, to Bondi Beach and the harbour bridge, there’s plenty of places we could tick off our bucket list. However the main reason we want to visit is to watch a live rugby league game. We’re massive fans of the sport in the England and follow the Australian game too. To be lucky enough to watch an NRL game, or even a State of Origin game live would be incredible.
Mexico
We know so many people who have travelled to Mexico and everyone has spoken so highly of it. Whilst relaxing at one of the many all-inclusive resorts does appeal, we also love a bit of sightseeing. We’d love to explore and learn about Mayan history and culture with a trip to Chichen Itza. We wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity of having a day trip from Cancun to one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Florida
Such an obvious choice for any family with young children, but when it comes to US States we’d love to visit, Florida is top of the list. There’s so much more in Florida we want to see other than Disney and Universal. We want to stroll down Miami beach, visit the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral and take a trip to Everglades National Park. It’s definitely on the list of places I want to visit before I turn 40.
Costa Rica
Did you know that Costa Rica was voted the happiest country in the world? Who wouldn’t want to go there?! It’s also renowned for being a very eco-friendly place to visit with 27% of the country’s landmass devoted to national parks. We’d love to explore them and see one of the several volcanoes in Costa Rica. The children would love the chance to see the wildlife and we’d love to see the La Fortuna Waterfall.
What’s at the top of your bucket list?

I think travelling with children is a great idea, getting them to experience it all and learn so much. You have some fabulous ideas here, particularly Iceland and The Italian lakes. So beautiful.
Copenhagen is such an amazing place, I have been there three times and I love it. Rej and Iceland in general is high up my to visit list x
ha, you have my list exactly!! Though I’ve been to Italy, Lakes Garda and Como are on my list, and Iceland really is a must one day!
A great list of places. Copenhagen looks great. I would love to see the Northern Lights too.
Anywhere in Italy is my favorite. However I have never been to Mauritius and It is in my bucket list.
Sydney is definitely one of my favorite places EVER!!!!!!!!
I love all these destinations and would like to visit one day. I would have to say the one place I would love to visit would be Iceland, I would love to see the northern-lights, it looks so amazing!
I agree with this list, such great places to visit. My current number one has to be Marrakesh, where I’ve never been to but if I could pick a place now – that would be the one to visit.
Oh all of these wonderful places are on my bucket list too. Although the travelling to Sydney does put me off a little!!
I look forward to traveling to all these places. Such incredible views.
Oh me too me too me too! I’d happily go to every one of these!
How lovely. I liked that you actually planned your kids to travel around the world with you. Those memories will always linger in them. Thanks for sharing.
Reykjavik has been on my list for a while! It’s just the cold that keeps me away…
Sydney and Iceland are on my list of places I would love to travel. I have always wanted to see the northern lights!
Okay, I have to say that Copenhagen is my absolute favorite place. HUGE recommends. Great list!
I never really thought about going to Copenhagen before, it looks beautiful though. May need to add it to my want to do list.
I was thoroughly impressed with Copenhagen. From the food to the pristine cleanliness of the city. I really love how bike friendly it is.
I’d love to visit Mauritius, it looks so idyllic x
Italian lakes sounds and looks beautiful!!! Love your bucket list
Love your bucket list, Blue Lagoon has been on our list for awhile now.
All great choices! Many of these are on our bucket list too. We were just living in Sydney this past summer and I’ve got to say it’s incredible. You MUST go. Bondi is breathtaking and the Opera House doesn’t disappoint.
I know what you mean! I’m hoping to do some more traveling within the next few years since my kids are getting older as well. I’d love to visit some of these places, especially Reykjavik.
The Italian Lakes look like a dream! My family is from Italy, and unfortunately, I’ve yet to go! I’m hoping to go with my grandmother one day soon, to see her hometown with her. 🙂
Wow and wow, those are really gorgeous place to visit and I love to be in every places and hoping to go there with my family in soon time!
All are beautiful places to visit but the Sydney and the Raykjavik are the most places that I really wanted to see.
i wish i’d been brave enough to backpack with my son when he was little. When i did a teeny bit of travelling before kids i was in awe of the odd lone mum or couple travelling with a youngster and the kids were always amazing.. #dreamteam
What an interesting and insightful post! I really enjoyed your perspective and look forward to reading more from you in the future!
Oh man, I’d absolutely love to visit Copenhagen, it’s on our list of places to visit so hopefully next year or the year after we will make it there – kids dependant!
The top of my bucket list is to visit the UK! #DreamTeam
