Travel is what makes our writers’ worlds go round, so to say that they are chomping at the bit to get back out there is an understatement. Their travel plans for the year sound nothing short of ah-mazing! We really hope they get to go to all of their 2022 dream destinations so that we can read all about their experiences. In the meantime, let’s live vicariously through their plans.
Some TravelAwaits writers shared the countries they will visit, while others shared specific locations within a country. Others had to tell us about a few (or quite a few) trips they have planned. Starting with the most far-flung journeys, we’ll work our way back toward the states as we go. If their ideas spark inspiration, check out the related articles we included with each destination.
1. Vietnam
“Vietnam has been on my list of places to visit for several years, and now tops that list. This has been the result of many influences. Since the country reunified, my interest in Vietnam has only grown.
“My dream trip would start in Hanoi, venture south through the country, and end up in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Along the way, I’d like to meet the people, explore the caves, float along Hạ Long Bay, seek out French architecture, see the rice terraces, and heavily indulge in the Vietnamese cuisine beyond phỏ.” — Stan Thomas
2. Al Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
“I am always drawn to the Middle East and my next destination is Sharjah. It’s the third largest of the UAE, right next door to Dubai. In fact, you can cross the border without any formality. Sharjah was declared Capital of Culture of the UAE and World Book Capital in 2019. As you can see, the emphasis in Sharjah is on culture and the preservation of Arabic lifestyle and heritage, something which is the foremost aim of Sharjah’s ruler. Therefore there are traditional souks, museums, and cultural institutions galore, which I want to visit.
“Sharjah is located on the Persian Gulf, which means it’s also ideal for a beach vacation. Moreover, in 2022, two new luxury resorts run by LUX resorts will be opened in Sharjah. There is also a great Indian community in Sharjah which makes for interesting cuisine. The combination of history, culture, great food, and luxury resorts made me put Sharjah on my preferred destination list of 2022.” — Inka Piegsa-Quischotte
3. Tanzania
“My daughter and I travel for our birthdays and in early 2022, I’m looking forward to a trip of a lifetime: a Tanzania safari! It’s estimated that one million animals cross the Serengeti this time of year and we’ll have 10 days during peak migration season. We’ll start with three days in the heart of the Serengeti, Tanzania’s most famous national park.
“Next, we travel to the Ngorongoro Crater — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — for a chance to drive into the crater itself (an erupted volcano) and spot the elusive black rhinos that live there along with lions, cape buffalo, elephants, hyena, ostrich, hippo, and some of the most amazing birds. We’ll overnight on the crater rim for awesome morning views. Finally, we’ll visit the Tarangire National Park — the land of the elephants, where we’ll camp within the park gates. I can hardly wait!” — Gail Clifford
