After visiting Bhutan, which sat at number one on my travel list for years, I found myself in a strange lull. It's like winning a championship—all that buildup, all that emotion, and then it's over. What next?

So I've been thinking long and hard about where to go next. These aren't bucket list boxes to tick or trendy destinations to follow. These are places I genuinely can't let go of in my mind. Here are my top 16, ranked in order of how much they've been occupying my thoughts.

Hey everyone, James here!

I recently spent a month travelling around Central America, and I have some amazing memories from my time there, which I will share later in this blog.

During my trip, I was still releasing episodes with guest interviews, and even though there were no blogs to accompany them, you could still find those episodes on my channel through your podcast player of choice.

Therefore, my blog has gotten behind schedule, so I am trying to catch up.
