From dreaming of a tropical beach escape to an adventurous mountain trek to a cultural city tour, these seven steps will guide you with creating a travel vision board to make your wanderlust your next great adventure.
Step 1: Clarify Your Travel Goals
The first step to manifesting your dream vacation is to be clear about what you desire.
Take a few moments to reflect on the perfect location, the adventures you have, and the feelings you wish to tap into while traveling.
Questions like, “Where do I want to be? “What do I want to do?” and “What’s the point of this trip?”
Are you looking to unwind, embark on a thrilling adventure, or discover something new about yourself? Knowing your intent will allow you to focus and develop a vision board that speaks to your heart.
Step 2: Collect Materials that Spark Joy
Once you’ve got your goals clarified, it’s time to collect material that visually represents your dream vacation.
If you are making a physical vision board, find images of your destination, activities and accommodations and print them out.
Cut articles, pictures and photos out of magazines, travel brochures, or create your own from pictures you take and build a set of exciting pictures.
If you prefer a digital vision board, use platforms like Pinterest, Canva, or dedicated vision board apps to collect and organize your visuals.
Add in quotes, affirmations and even symbols (plane tickets, maps, landmarks) to make your vision tangible.
Step 3: Create Your Travel Vision Board
Now on to the fun part — designing your vision board. That can be physical or digital, but organize your materials in a way that feels instinctive and expiring.
Put your priorities in the middle and surround them with complementary images, affirmations, and details.
Use color schemes that remind you of the vibe of your dream destination, such as warm tones for a tropical getaway, or cool hues for a tranquil mountain retreat.
Get creative, but keep in mind: Your board should be understandable to a glance.
Step 4: Add Call to Actions
A great vision board isn’t only inspiration — it has actionable steps, too.
Adding features such as a tracker for your travel savings, a timeline for booking flights or accommodations and a list of tasks to help prepare for your trip.
To illustrate, if your dream is to visit Paris, your actionable items might be: save $2,000; learn how to say “hello” and “thank you” in basic French; research the best spots to hit up in the city.
These practical touches will help fill the space between dreaming and doing, moving you steadily toward your vacation.
Step 5: Hang Your Vision Board in a High Traffic Area
Remember, consistency is key for manifesting your dream vacation!

This daily reminder serves as a gentle prod to take steps that will align your choices with your travel goals, whether that is saving money or looking up travel deals.
Step 6: Positive energy and Believe
Often manifestations are based on positive energy and belief.
Here is an exercise you can do while working on your vision board.
Visualize the sights, sounds and feelings as though they’re happening in the present moment.
Repeat affirmations such as “I am manifesting my dream trip” or “The universe is aligning to bring me closer to my travel goals.”
Have faith that your effort, commitment and positive attitude will make that vision a reality.
Step 7: Attract Your Aims By Putting In Inspired Action
Although a vision board is an amazing way to be inspired, manifestation is about taking action.
Buckling down — and ignoring — is hard, so remember to use your board as a roadmap to get practical about your vacation.

Celebrate your progress, and keep a vision board close to you to keep the momentum.
