Tomodachi Life Travel Guide — All 19 Tours & Souvenirs

How travel works (and what changed from the 3DS)

The travel system in Living the Dream is rebuilt from the ground up. In the 3DS original, you gave a Mii a generic Travel Ticket and they went to a random country. In Living the Dream, you pick the specific destination from a list of 19 tours, unlocked progressively through the Wishing Fountain.

The space trip used to require giving a Mii a cumulative $10,000 in pocket money in the 3DS game. That's gone. Outer Space is now a regular tour ticket you wish for at the Fountain — much faster and more deliberate.

Unlock progression

Travel is a mid-game system. You can't access it from day one:

1. Grant 10 wishes at the Wishing Fountain. Travel Tours unlock as a category in your wish menu after this milestone.
2. Each additional 5 wishes unlocks the next destination in the rotation.
3. To unlock all 19 tours, you need to grant roughly 10 + (18 × 5) = 100 wishes at the Fountain over the course of your save.
4. Locked destinations on the ticket selection screen show how many more wishes you need.

Granting wishes requires Warm Fuzzies, which come from making Miis happy. The Wishing Fountain guide breaks down the full Fuzzy economy.

All 19 travel destinations

Each destination unlocks a unique souvenir treasure and three scenic photo locations. Tours unlock in roughly this order, though the exact sequence may vary slightly by save:

The Latin America Tour actually covers multiple Latin American countries, not just Central and South America. The souvenir is an Alebrije, the brightly painted Mexican folk-art creature, and one of the scenes shows a cenote from Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. It's a region-wide tour despite the broad name.

The Antarctica special case

Antarctica is the one tour that works differently. Instead of being purely Fountain-unlocked, the Mii themselves wishes for the Antarctica trip once they have $5,000 in pocket money saved. This means you:

1. Level the Mii to Happiness Level 10 (unlocks the Pocket Money gift option).
2. Give them pocket money over time as level-up rewards until they accumulate $5,000.
3. The Mii decides on their own to spend it on the Antarctica Tour.

This is the closest thing Living the Dream has to the old 3DS space-travel mechanic. It rewards long-term investment in a single Mii rather than wish farming.

How a tour actually plays out

1. You pick the ticket recipient. Only this one Mii is your choice.
2. The Mii picks their companions. They prioritize spouse + children first, then family, then roommates from shared housing, then friends. Up to 7 others can join, for a maximum group of 8.
3. Title screen plays. A thought bubble shows the destination and the travel party.
4. Three scenes play out at different landmarks. The ticket recipient comments on each. After each comment, the group poses for a photo — press the shutter to capture.
5. Mii returns home and calls you over to say thanks. They hand you a unique souvenir from that destination.
6. Relationship bonus: Every companion's relationship with the ticket recipient improves by +1 level. This stacks across tours and is the single fastest way to bond Miis.

The honeymoon system

When two Miis get married, they automatically go on a honeymoon — a free vacation that doesn't consume a travel ticket. Key details:

• The destination is randomly picked from your unlocked tours. You can't choose where they go.
• The title screen uses a heart-shaped thought bubble with hearts along the top.
• The Mii who proposed appears on the left.
• Three photos and one unique souvenir, same as a regular tour.
• This doesn't give the relationship +1 boost (they're already married).

Mood-based travel quirks

If you give a Travel Ticket to a Mii who's currently sad or in a fight:

• They will travel alone, no companions allowed.
• If they were sad, they come back happy.
• If they were angry, they cool down.
• They will not bring back a souvenir on these solo emotional-repair trips.
• Miis in massive fights (the dramatic ones with anger marks) can't be calmed this way — you have to resolve the fight directly first.

This is a useful crisis-management tool, but don't waste your premium destinations on it — give a cheaper unlocked tour for emotional repair, save Antarctica or Outer Space for full happy trips with the maximum 8-Mii group photo.

Photo strategy

You only get three photos per trip, and there are no reshoots. Tips:

• Press the shutter any time during the pose — the Mii may blink, change expression, or fall over, so timing matters.
• To capture all available photo scenes at a destination (some have 5 total scenes but you only see 3 per trip), revisit the same destination multiple times with different ticket recipients.
• Roommates count as travel companions, so if you want a specific group photo, get those Miis into shared housing first to guarantee their inclusion.
• If a Mii is raising a stage 1–3 baby, they bring the spouse and baby (spouse holds the baby in photos). Stage 4–5 babies pose independently.

Optimization: travel for happiness farming

Vacations deliver large one-time happiness boosts to every Mii in the travel group, plus relationship +1 levels, plus a treasure. That's three rewards from one ticket. It's the highest single-action efficiency in the game once unlocked.

• Always include companions — solo trips are wasteful.
• Send Miis you haven't bonded yet on the same trips to fast-track friendships.
• Send freshly-leveled Miis right after Level 10 to start the pocket money savings for Antarctica.
• When Fountain rank lets you buy multiple tickets, batch a "tour week" instead of spreading them out.
