Welcome to Our Bucket List Travel!  My name is Jenn, and I love to travel. I also love to plan a good trip... and share our adventures after-the-fact.  After being asked to share my itineraries a few times, I decided to create this blog.  I'm always looking for an excuse to talk about travel!

​

On this site you'll find past itineraries (both domestic and global) along with future plans in the making.  If you've got suggestions on our future trips... please share.

​

A few things to point out on how we travel:

• I am a point/mile hoarder.  We fly American, stay Marriott and drive Avis whenever possible.  Loyalty pays off!

• We are fortunate to be able to splurge on travel.  I would describe our accommodations as mostly moderate with an occasional splurge (my husband may argue it's more than occasional).  I believe you can travel on any budget!

• We love to eat and drink. I'm always hunting for the spots the locals go... along with the more unique (some may say touristy) must-do spots.  I get super excited about rooftops with a view and fun bars/speakeasies.  I'll spend more time than most researching food and drink options... and it has paid off!

• Large, organized group tours are not our first choice.  We typically choose to explore on our own, unless we feel there is a need for a tour guide.  When we do seek out a tour, I look for private/smaller ones.  

• We like to stay active... even on vacation!  We don't shy away from taking ridiculous amounts of steps and we will seek out opportunities to hike, bike or kayak.  I rarely pass up the opportunity to climb towers (belltowers, cathedrals, duomos). 

• My goal on most trips is to have something booked each day... and most days we make sure to have some down time to just sit (or the chance to add something spontaneous).
