Travel Goals 2026

It's hard to believe the year is nearly finished! I'm already brainstorming ideas for 2026 travel and eagerly anticipating discovering new destinations. Being from New England, I adore the seasons here and am planning to spend a long weekend in Vermont, Rhode Island, and Maine next year. Surprisingly, I've never visited Canada despite its proximity, but I'm hoping to schedule a long weekend in either Toronto or Montreal.

I am excited to plan a trip to Napa Valley and San Francisco! Since I have never visited the West Coast, it's a priority for me next year. My mom and I are considering an itinerary for late April or early May.

Finally, I aim to maintain my recent tradition of taking one European trip annually, as there are numerous destinations I'd love to visit. My friends and I are discussing a few options:

• South of France - Rose and the beach need I say more?

• Greek Islands - Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was my favorite book series in my middle school years!

• Mallorca - never been to Spain but have heard incredible things!

• Ireland Road Trip? I have been to Dublin and stayed on the west coast but so much more to explore!
