77: Nick Onken – My Top Travel Destinations

Personal Growth, Podcast, Travel

I’ve been to over 70 countries at this point, and life has been an epic journey.

I often get asked what my favorite travel destination is, and it’s a hard question to answer because it’s always changing. I love different places for different reasons.

Today I’m telling you my top 12 travel destinations and why I love them. I’ve been to over 70 countries at this point – life has been an epic journey, and I’m so grateful for the experiences that have taken me all over the world.

This year I’m hoping to travel to some new places as well as visiting some that I’ve already been to so I can explore more.

I’ve been a lot of places where you think it’s going to be something and you go and it just doesn’t quite meet your expectations of the images you had in your head.
