Share Your Travel Intentions for 2026: What destinations are you setting your sights on to visit next year and why?

Usually we post a "share your travel predictions" thread at the end of the year to capture everyone's imaginations about the future of travel and where it's headed. I thought we'd try something different this year and ask — what are your travel intentions for 2026?

👉 What destinations are you setting your sights on to visit (or live, or do business in) and why? Share your places, motivations and intentions below with the community.

📍 In addition to commenting below, you can also add places to your wishlist on Travel Massive Places at travelmassive.com/places and share on your travel map!

— Happy travels!

I'm heading to:

• Kyrgizstan for the winter season & snowboarding in Karakol (Jan-March 2026)
• Montreal, Canada in summer for a work visit to Stay22 headquarters

Planning on South America on second half of 2026 for a 2-3 months – either Brazil, Peru or Argentina. Any tips to help me choose are welcome.

Aiming to visit several new states on our cross-country road trip for World Cup and America's 250th celebration, including Ohio, Kentucky, Utah, Indiana and DC

I've been using the last few months to upskill myself in multiple industries to transition to a digital nomad in 2026. Looking at teaching abroad in Japan and South Korea, maybe hostel work for room and board in Europe while freelance writing. Really open to a lot of different possibilities.

These days, I find my personal travel is lead by my daughter's desires. I am grateful she wants to visit Paris and Mexico. I would love to attend an F1 race in a new city. Also, I'd love to visit Africa for the first time. Air Canada just added direct flights to Ghana (first direct flights between the countries!) and now I'm inspired!
