A new year brings fresh aspirations. This year, instead of preparing a list of resolutions I might not stick to, I’ve decided to dream up my ultimate travel bucket list. Who knows? Perhaps this dreaming will inspire me to achieve other goals along the way.
Dining at Arnaud Donckele’s table in Paris
This is so much more than just a meal—it’s an emotional and sensory journey. Chef Arnaud Donckele has mastered the art of creating a subtle, refined, and wildly inventive cuisine. It’s haute gastronomy at its finest, served in the exceptional setting of Cheval Blanc, a hotel overlooking the Seine and the Parisian skyline. The chef has found a setting worthy of his culinary art.
What truly sets Plénitude apart from other Michelin-starred restaurants is Chef Donckele’s ability to tell a story with every dish. Each tasting is a sensory voyage, where presentation, flavors, textures, and even aromas are meticulously designed to evoke emotions. Every plate is crafted to awaken a feeling. Plénitude is undoubtedly a dream destination and, according to those who’ve been, one of the most extraordinary dining experiences in the world.
Going on a safari in Kenya
Immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the wild, where animals roam free across breathtaking landscapes. From the Masai Mara to Amboseli and Tsavo, Kenya offers unparalleled encounters with lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, zebras, and giraffes in their natural habitats. It’s a rare and deeply moving sight.
The scenery is equally mesmerizing, with vast savannas, lush forests, mountains, and salt lakes. These awe-inspiring landscapes remind us of nature’s grandeur and power. For me, a Kenyan safari is the ultimate dream—an opportunity to witness a world far greater than ourselves.
Learning to kitesurf—or perfecting oyster pairings—in Dakhla
Whether you’re chasing adventure or relaxation, Dakhla is magical. It’s where the dunes of the Sahara meet the Atlantic Ocean in a surreal embrace. This extraordinary place, nestled just on the Tropic of Cancer, offers eternal spring-like weather, immaculate beaches, and turquoise lagoons.
Dakhla is ideal for disconnecting without venturing too far. They say time slows here. Days unfold with the rhythm of the sun, and nights bring the Milky Way into full view. It’s a place of immense beauty and endless horizons—a true oasis for the soul.
Road-tripping along Route 66
Stretching across eight U.S. states, Route 66 is the quintessential road trip. From Chicago to Santa Monica, this legendary highway embodies the spirit of America. Just thinking about it, I can picture myself: windows down, music blasting, landscapes shifting with every mile, and memories collect with every stop.Route 66 offers a magical blend of adventure, history, and discovery. It winds through deserts, small towns, retro diners, and cinematic motels. It’s a journey straight out of a movie, where every kilometer becomes part of the story—a story etched into the film reel of our lives.
Marveling at the Northern Lights
Witnessing the aurora borealis in Lapland is the dream of many, including me. Imagine standing beneath waves of green, violet, and crimson light dancing across the night sky. It’s a breathtaking spectacle, set against the pristine white snow of a winter wonderland.
Lapland itself is extraordinary. Its snowy forests, frozen lakes, and crisp, clear air create an atmosphere of otherworldly beauty. Watching the northern lights here is more than just observing a natural phenomenon—it’s an emotional, timeless experience. For seekers of wonder, tranquility, and reconnection with nature, Lapland is a must.
