After all the excitement that 2015 had to offer and my reflections on the Big move from Glasgow to Milano and the amazing opportunities I crammed in to the four short months and reflection on my Top trips of 2015 I thought it was about time I started thinking about what 2016 had to offer!
2016, the excitement is bubbling inside me, as this will be my first full year abroad and the travel opportunities are endless!
Not so much a resolution, but a goal, and mine is to visit 20 new places in 2016! I got a scratch map for Christmas and I cannot wait to get scratching !
So here it is, my Wanderlust Wishlist for 2016…
Booked up…
Budapest , Hungary
Next weekend we will be flying from Milan to Budapest with Wizz Air. we will be there for a short 2 day trip, that we plan to cram as much as we can in to! We are staying in the beautiful Lanchid 19 Hotel facing out on to the river. But the top thing on the list is the Szechenyi thermal baths ! They look so relaxing !
Marrakech, Morocco
In Feb, I’m off on a girly holiday with my momma to Morocco. We originally booked for Egypt but our holiday got cancelled, a blessing in disguise because now I think I’m more excited and intrigued by Morocco ! We are staying in the Pullman Marrakech 5* Resort & Spa I cannot wait to go to the centre of Marrakech and experience the buzz of the markets laced with spices and stall vendors and the culture of the red city !
Punta Cana , Dominican Republic
Our best friends are getting married and they’re only getting married at Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana! Gary and I have visited Dom Rep before but the other side of the island. Bring on paradise for the wedding of the year!
The wanderlist…
Malta
A little island that had always intrigued me! Gary’s family visit a lot and the girls from work have been ! The historical elements and scenery sound and look beautiful, who could resist that view
Croatia
The Plitvice Lakes, I have to go! Croatia has been firmly on my Wishlist for a long time and I cannot wait to visit , hopping from one place to another , for me , it’s a Summer must !
Cinque Terre
The Italian Balamory,Scotland I can’t wait to visit the beautiful , colourful bay !
Iceland
Get me in one of those blue lagoons watching the northern lights illuminate the sky !
Vienna, Austria
My friend Eimear living here for a year and all of her stories and pics make me want to go ! It looks absolutely magical at Christmas time
Sardinia
They have a pink beach, enough said !
Where is on your 2016 wanderlist??
Have you ever visited any of these places, where was your favourite ?
Ciao

You have a great bucket list this year! I’ve been to Marrakech, Punta Cana, Croatia, Cinque Terre, and Iceland, and the others are on my list! All of those places I’ve been are magical and incredible and I hope you get to go!
By the way, good for you for making the move…it’s a hard thing to do but well worth it in the end! Milan is so well-located with so many cheap flights in and out…I wish I could make a move like that again!

Great list! I have stayed in Budapest (I loved Buda and the amazing alternative bars of the city) and Vienna (huge city with lot of surprising spots! :D). And I share with your wanderlist: Marrakesh, Sardinia and Cinqueterre (I’m moving to Bologna in Spring, so I guess these two Italian destinations will be visited during the year :D). Cheers!! E
