Here are the must-see destinations you should consider adding to your travel bucket list this year: 1. Jordan "Every year for my birthday I solo travel to a new country. This year I would like to go to Jordan. It’s not yet a hugely popular destination, and there is so much beautiful history and architecture to see and incredible food to experience. I also want to live out my Indiana Jones dreams, horse riding through Petra."

I was diagnosed as being on the spectrum and my partner of 17 years broke up with me, so I felt like I needed to do something for myself for once. This summer I am taking a solo cruise that travels throughout the Mediterranean (Italy, Greece, and France), and next summer another solo cruise that visits England, the northern coast of Europe, and Iceland."

We went to Germany to visit family and explore, although I obviously don't remember a thing. It's always been my dream to go back now in my adult years so I can actually enjoy it! I'm always imagining where I'd like to go, but right now Paris and Greece would be my dream trip. Although, I'd like to go back to Germany someday to visit my family and learn more about my heritage."

This year, my big trip is going to be a tour of southern Spain and Morocco. I'm going to hit Málaga, Córdoba, and Seville before hopping over across the strait and doing a tour of Morocco's imperial cities. I'm planning to cap the trip off with a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Marrakesh followed by a traditional Berber breakfast and camel ride."

We were planning for 2020 but you can guess how that went. This year I'm finally going. And on the bright side, I've got about three years of French lessons on Duolingo now."

Matteo Colombo / Getty Images 17. Wales "The best part about my international travel is I decided I’m not coming back from it! I'm headed on a 16-hour direct flight to New York where I’ll explore, then grabbing another flight to the UK. I'm spending one glorious month road-tripping around England, Wales, Ireland, and last but not least, Scotland, which is where I’ll start my next chapter of life. Just booked my one-way flights yesterday."
