Where are some places y'all are looking to be this year? For our fam of four, heading back to Japan is top of the list, and we're kicking around some Baltic and Central Europe too.
2026 plans and destinations?

We just completed some big firming-up on our plans. Will be in Osaka April, May, & June, then in Helsinki for July. August we're still deciding, likely some faster travel through Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, maybe part of Poland. Aiming to be in the US for part of August and all of September. In October we're cruising from LA to Yokohama, planning for October, November, and December to be back in Osaka.

3 weeks traveling around France in mid-April/May! It's our longest trip and the furthest from home. Super excited...
We start in Paris, then Bordeaux, Nice via Montpelier, Lyon, Dijon and back to Paris. We plan on doing lots of wine tours, museums, and putzing around the cities. Any hot tips appreciated!

My entire family is going to the Canary Islands for a week in February/March, and in the summer I plan to travel a week+ by myself to Germany to attend DrachenFest. I'm far from FI, but enjoying life along the way.

I'm headed to Costa Rica next week and then this summer a river cruise on the Danube. Several years ago I made a commitment to myself to travel once a year. For the past few years it's happily turned into twice a year. My intention is to eventually slow travel and have extended stays, but for now while I'm still working and have pets at home, I'm keeping it to under two weeks at a time.

That sounds amazing! I’m not quite FI yet, so trying to focus on planning travel around the seasons of life and trying mini-adventures that mirror potential larger post-FI adventures. One of the items on the big bucket list is a cross country national park trip, so this year we’re going to try a mini version and head from southern New England to Mammoth Cave, New River Gorge, and Shenandoah.

We are spending January and February in Chile, March in Brazil then cruising the Amazon back to our car in Miami. We tentatively plan to rent a house in Ajijic Mexico for the rest of the year with monthly trips within Mexico and to the US in June for a wedding.
