As of this writing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending a pause in travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic, so consider this story as a way to plan for future trips.

As the number of Covid-19 cases around the world continues to rise, people are taking to Pinterest to travel vicariously through photos and plan future trips, including honeymoons to beautiful places in the U.S. and abroad. A recent study by Kuoni, a luxury travel company based in the U.K., revealed the most commonly “pinned” romantic destinations people around the world have created Pinterest boards for.

“Pinterest and wedding planning goes hand-in-hand, so it is a really valuable resource to gain great insights on where the most dreamed about honeymoon destinations are in the world,” said Rachel O’Reilly, Head of Communications at Kuoni. “We hope this research can inspire couples who are looking to make a trip of a lifetime.”

On the U.S. side, the top destinations featured a mix of states known for their chill vibes and relaxing resorts, and others that are known for their more active, outdoor lifestyles.
