If you’re like many people approaching or enjoying retirement, you may have a list of destinations or experiences you’ve always dreamed of exploring. Whether it’s a classic “bucket list” or a more playful “curious list,” these dreams reflect more than wanderlust—they reflect your values, interests, and sense of purpose.
Why it Matters: According to RBC Wealth Management, 63% of Americans aged 50 and older consider travel an important retirement goal. For many, it’s about more than sightseeing—it’s about fulfillment, exploration, and experiencing life more deeply.
While a bucket list is about those must-see destinations, a curious list goes deeper. It includes places you’re drawn to without fully knowing why. Maybe it's a tiny island you heard about once or a place with a strange name that sparks something in you.
Tips for creating your Curious Travel List
Include childhood dream destinations.
Add places tied to family history.
Think about where you can slow down and experience life.
Remember, your travel list doesn’t need to impress anyone. It should light you up!
Take time today to jot down your top 3 destinations on your Travel Bucket List – places you absolutely must visit and your top 3 destinations on your Travel Curious List – places you want to learn more about.
