A wandering mind: Ciara’s travel wish list

Ciara – travel blogger and storyteller – is no stranger to taking on “daring adventures” or “walking into the unknown”. And even though the Coronavirus has paused her travel plans, she has still managed to find a different type of adventure – isolating in her hometown with family. The good news, the pandemic hasn't stopped Ciara from dreaming up her next big trip.

We recently caught up with Ciara for a sneak peek of the destinations she’s adding to her travel wish list on the Booking.com app.

I was just returning from a trip to Hollywood, Florida.

I am currently in Houston, Texas, where I was born and raised. It's been really nice to reunite with my family in a way that I haven't been able to for years.

Due to the nature of my job as a Content Creator, my calendar is always relatively open-ended. I typically plan 1-2 months out max. Dubai, India, Japan, Memphis and Germany were in my plans but no major bookings were made. However, I am looking forward to an adventure soon.

I miss the opportunity to meet people. I've been surrounded by my family for the past few months, which is great. However, I really do miss meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures on a whim. I also miss the spontaneity and the unknown. With quarantine, the days seem to go by slowly and everything is so predictable. As a naturally curious person, I'm ready for some novelty.

I'd love to visit Mongolia for its mystery and nomadic culture, Norway for its incredible landscapes and Sri Lanka for its rich culture. My wish list is always full, but I've been particularly drawn to these countries for a while now.

I'd recommend Iceland for its otherworldly landscapes, Kenya for its epic Masai Mara National Safari Park, New Orleans for its Cajun food and Greece for its unique islands. The list is truly endless.

Azulik in Mexico and the Venetian in Vegas. I love it when accommodation is a unique experience in itself.

I could be in Mexico within two hours! It's one of my favorite countries because of its varied landscapes. I could hit some white-powder beaches in Tulum, stuff my face with tacos in Mexico City or swim with whale sharks in La Paz.
