Travel Spots You’ll Love Twice (Wanderlust Wednesday)

Have you ever visited a destination and felt one trip just wasn’t enough? In this Wanderlust Wednesday episode, Nick and Wil share their personal travel favorites and client insights on destinations worth visiting multiple times. From Europe to Asia to safaris in Africa, they explore why certain places keep travelers coming back again and again.

Key Takeaways:

• New Zealand is a must-visit more than once since the North and South Islands each offer unique landscapes and experiences.
• Some travelers prefer the comfort of returning to a favorite destination, while others chase new cultures and sights.
• Italy is the number one repeat destination for many travelers because of its culture, history, food, and diverse regions.
• Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast make up the Italian trifecta, but repeat visitors often explore Milan, Lake Como, Venice, or the less-touristic east coast.
• Greece tends to be a one-and-done destination where travelers enjoy it once but rarely feel the need to return.
• Croatia is a hidden gem that surprises travelers and keeps them coming back for its beauty, culture, and coastline.
• Alaska is another one-time trip for most, though extending with a land tour enhances the experience beyond the cruise.
• Japan is becoming increasingly popular and often inspires return visits because of its culture, variety, and extensive sights.
• London and Barcelona are cities travelers rarely tire of, offering new discoveries on repeat visits.
• Madrid, Lisbon, Prague, and Amsterdam are European cities that give travelers strong reasons to return for their food, culture, and vibrant atmospheres.
• Safaris in Africa often turn into repeat trips because each region offers unique wildlife, landscapes, and cultural experiences.
• South Africa is a unique blend of history, culture, and safari access, though many pair it with other African destinations.
• Dubai often surprises visitors with its welcoming atmosphere, luxury, safety, and food, leading many to return after an initial trip.
• Las Vegas remains a repeat destination for Nick and Wil.
• The biggest lesson is not to wait until retirement to travel since life is uncertain and memories are best made now.
