The Best Destinations to Travel With Your Mom

Mother’s Day may be behind us, but here at Cherish, we believe in honoring the women who nurture, support, and guide us—not just for one weekend in May, but all year long.

Whether it’s your mom, a mother figure, or another incredible woman in your life, traveling together is one of the most meaningful ways to deepen your bond. Shared adventures have a way of creating space for connection, reflection, and joy that’s hard to find in everyday life.

This summer, I’m finally taking a trip to Norway with my mom—something we’ve both dreamed about for years. From long road trips to once-in-a-lifetime safaris, some of my most treasured memories have been made traveling together.

If you’re thinking about planning a trip with your mom—or any woman who’s made a lasting impact on your life—here are a few destinations we love.

Scandinavia

Explore the quiet magic of Norway and Denmark, where cozy cafés, scenic fjords, and long summer days offer the perfect pace for meaningful connection. Whether you’re wandering through cobblestone streets or cruising along the coastline, Scandinavia is ideal for slowing down and savoring time together.

Central America

If you’re craving a mix of adventure and relaxation, Costa Rica and Panama are both great options. With lush jungles, thermal springs, and coastal beauty, these destinations offer an energizing mix of nature and culture—along with the opportunity to support local women through thoughtfully curated experiences.

Out West Road Trip

Sometimes the best conversations happen on the open road. Reconnect with nature (and each other) on a scenic road trip through Utah or Arizona. Think glamping under the stars, hiking through red rock canyons, stargazing over a campfire, and moments that feel both big and beautifully simple.

Japan

If your mom loves culture, food, or thoughtful design, Japan is an absolute dream. Share quiet moments in traditional gardens, taste your way through street markets, and admire the blend of ancient tradition and modern innovation. It’s a place that invites awe and shared wonder.

Southern France

If elegance and ease are more your style, head to Southern France. Picture slow mornings with fresh pastries, afternoons in sun-drenched vineyards, and strolls through storybook villages. Perfect for mothers and daughters who love charm, conversation, and a good glass of wine.

Wherever you go, the destination is only part of the magic. What really matters is time—unhurried, quality time with someone who’s shaped your life. Here’s to creating once-in-a-lifetime moments and celebrating the women who have helped make us who we are.
