Now that we're 3/4 through 2023, it's time to look at what new travel trends have emerged. I know we've been traveling a little differently now than we did 3, 5, or even 10 years ago. Last year we threw caution to the wind and went all-in on a trip to Paris on a brand new airline and we genuinely have no regrets. We have been traveling more with family (specifically, my mom), visiting more places on those trips that are historically important to us, and we even took a trip to celebrate a wedding.

Travel feels even more of a privilege to me than it did before and I am grateful for every trip I get to go on. I'm planning a short trip to Vancouver, BC with the help from Internet friends who live there. I basically know what I want to do there, but I asked for recommendations on dining and coffee shops and I wasn't disappointed in the feedback I got and will probably enjoying some of those things with new in-person friends. It's always lovely to experience things with friends, especially when they are showing you some of their favorite things. I'm trying to connect more with people when I travel (I was able to see a friend on our short trip to San Francisco) and make sure I visit any open-air or farmers' markets on trips, where I can talk to locals and learn more about where I'm visiting. It might be through someone's favorite coffee spot or a rancher's story about how they raise their cattle to be happy in the field and ultimately top-tier beef at his stand or a chat with an Uber driver about their home country or bonding with a couple in a theme park line. I find myself craving more moments like this when I'm away from home and I can only think that's a great thing and is a big motivator for at least half this list.
Have you been planning any of the above type of travel?
