My Updated Bucket List
So I've done this post before but this is the updated list. I first made a post like this back in August 2018 and since then my list has either grown or become a bit more concise.
The first post can be found here: First Bucket List Post
So this is my new Bucket List
1) Canada
2) Semester At Sea
3) Europe
4) South America
5) Russia
6) Australia & New Zealand
7) Africa
8) Antarctica
1) Canada
Canada is still on my list (and still at the top) because I still have only been as far east as Alberta and as far north as the Yukon. I want to drive across the country and simply enjoy my country. I love taking photographs and love nature. I can't wait to be able to fulfill this dream.
2) Semester At Sea
I found Semester at Sea back in 2015. I really want to be able to experience this. For those who don't know SAS is a college campus at sea. You go for four months and visit 8-11 countries (I think, I am linking the website below. It is my dream to go on SAS during my last year at University. I am very optimistic that this will indeed happen.
3) Europe
Europe has always been on my bucket list and it always will be. I know Europe is a pretty broad term but I plan on taking 5-6 months and simply travel, and hit as many countries as I can.
4) South America
There are many places in South America that I want to visit but Machu Picchu is at the top of the list. I would love to just do a group tour through South America.
5) Russia
While I was in school we never learned about Russia, basically only what we needed to know. As I got older I did my own research and decided that Moscow and St. Petersburg are definitely on my list. I have always been interested in Russian culture and I want to simply learn more about Russia and what better way then going there and experiencing it in person.
6) Australia & New Zealand
I have always wanted to visit The Hobbit set and simply to see the scenery of New Zealand. I again love photography and this would be my dream to take photos there. I do have fears about Australia simply because of wildlife but I would get past that in order to experience Australia.
7) Africa
I have always wanted to go on a real African Safari because that I believe that's how that African animals should be viewed, not in zoos. I have never really thought about going to Northern Africa as I have always wanted to go where the majority of the animals are which is the Southern countries.
8) Antarctica
Antarctica has always been on my bucket list. Simply for the fact that it has remained mainly untouched save for research facilities. I would love to go on a National Geographic Expedition Cruise as while yes your on a cruise, you are on a learning ship, or working ship. I really want to do this but the only holdback for me is the cost. *it is very expensive*
But Why Should You Have A Bucket List?
I found that having a bucket list helped me discover what I really wanted in life. I found my desire to learn about new cultures and languages as well. Now while my bucket list is a travel bucket list that does not mean that you have to use it for travel, bucket lists can be useful for anything. I have bucket lists for my blog, work and I had one for school as well as my travel bucket list. So here are the top 10 reasons to have a bucket list of your own.
1. Explore
2. Learn
3. Discover a new talent
4. Learn something new
5. Find a purpose
6. Help you confront your fears
7. Never-ending
8. Gives you a sense of hope
9. Let's you think outside the box
10. Can be for anything (life,work,travel,goals etc.)
Have you made an updated version of your bucket list? Any changes to mine that you were surprised to see?
