Round the World Bucket List
I have been lucky in my life to have had to the chance to travel to so many incredible places and see so many incredible things. But, there is still so much more out there to see, so many places to visit and so many things to do. The world is full of endless wonders and I want to see them all. I thought I would share with you my current travel bucket list. I wanted to keep it at 25, that was impossible so here are the 50 places I want to see and things I want to do before I die. Some of them I have been able to check off the list.
1. Visit all seven continents -- 4 down, 3 to go
2. Go white water rafting -- In my head its in Costa Rica, but anywhere will do
3. See the Northern Lights
4. Go to Easter Island - I have been completely fascinated by this place since watching a video in high school Spanish class.
5. Get invited to an Indian wedding -- They look incredibly fun and are so colorful
6. Become friends with an elephant -- Elephants are my all time favorite animal. I would love to go somewhere like an orphanage where I can get up close and personal with one.
7. Travel on a boat down the Amazon
8. Learn to Scuba Dive
9. Attend the World Cup, Olympics and Wimbledon
10. Fly first class

this is awesome! my favorite is the festivals, of course!! tomorrowland is a must!
I know! I've made a goal to make it there either next year or 2016.
What a wonderful list! So many of those are definitely on my list as well! I definitely want to go to the Galapagos! and cruise up in Alaska and trek up Machu Picchu! I always wanted to go to Easter Island and when I learned it was a part of Chile I was like 'yay I can totally do that' then I saw the flight costs :S it was like a cold shower! Also if I can give you a little advice, I would perhaps avoid the Holi festival in India, a friend who is from Delhi told me it's very unsafe because people put anything in their powder! I participated in Holi while I was in the UK and all the powder was provided and was organic and all, it was super! And so jealous you've been to the Great Barrier Reef!
Thanks! Yea, I was a little bummed when I saw how much it cost to fly to Easter Island, but, its one of those things that I have to do no matter what. So one day I'll bit the bullet and make it out there.
Love your list! Walking the Camino de Santiago is on my list for sure. New follower. :-)

Thanks for following. I actually hadn't heard about the Camino de Santiago until recently, but it definitely seems like it would be amazing.
So...the above list:
2) check. Snake River in Wyoming with you-know-who.
7) Does a boat trip on the Essequibo and Demerara Rivers in Guyana count? I think it might.
14) Done - kinda. Balloon was tethered. At the time, I was OK with that.
29) 48 down. The obvious 2 to go - we can check off 17 when we go.
These are some great goals and I hope you achieve them all :)
Thank you! :)
But you had great company for #31! Even if it was only once.
The best company. Hugs.
The hot air balloon pic you have is from Cappadocia, Turkey! If you can manage to go hot ballooning there, I highly recommend it (even though it's super expensive). You can't find scenery like that anywhere else in the world!
I know! It looks pretty epic, I hope to make it there one day.
I would love to visit a French wineyard and see how they make it behind the scenes. Plus set foot on all continents until I am 30. Your first point. Great list!
Thank you! I am a big fan of wine so seeing how it is made would be an awesome experience!
