Everyone has a bucket list of some sort. Whether it's written down in a private diary somewhere or whether it's a fleeting idea that comes and goes during times of reflection - a plan to ensure life is lived to its fullest exists for everyone.
But what usually features on a bucket list? If a thousand
people were to be surveyed, more would include travel on theirs than anything
else. This wide world that we occupy is home to a marvel of sights, scenes and
adventures just waiting for us to experience them. Though sadly, for many, the
wait lasts longer than their life span. An unfulfilled life is almost a rite of
passage for those without the motivation to get out and make things happen.
While everybody dreams of completing their bucket list, far fewer ever
accomplish it.
The top bucket list destinations
Whatever stage you're at regarding your inner list of
things to do before you die, the following article will provide you with
inspiration, hopefully to act, but if nothing else, then to at least dream. For
all you know, your eyes have been shut for billions of years, and may well be
shut for billions more years after you pass. During your short time with them
open, we think the following places are more than worthy of their attention.
African Safari
Venturing to another continent often tops most peoples
list of achievements in life. While TV and the internet have made shifting
continent seem effortless, the mere act of waking up in another part of the
World is often a profound experience for those who get to enjoy it. That
feeling of awe is only intensified in the case of going on an African Safari.
Seeing the types of animals you've only ever seen in
books, in the flesh, living freely, will be nothing short of perception
changing. Journeying on a 4x4 through the plains, seeing giraffes, zebras,
lions and more is something you'll truly never forget.
Machu Picchu, Peru
Google Machu Picchu. This article will still be here when
you return. The simple sight of it triggers something deep within. Machu Picchu
is one of the earliest forms of a complete human society left on earth.
Yet, away from its sentimental value, the landmark itself
is truly stunning. Standing at almost 8000ft above sea-level, and often
complimented by the beauty of the clouds surrounding the Peruvian tourist spot,
the image is something that will stay with you for a life time.
Tahiti
If history isn't your thing, if pure, unadulterated,
heavenly beauty is what does it for you, it's hard to image anywhere that would
suit your needs more than Tahiti.
As the largest island in the French Polynesian region,
Tahiti is somewhat of a worldly anomaly. You simply won't encounter anything
that matches its aesthetic allure. Even if you live in California.
With white sand and light blue sea, the scenery is to die
for. Though, dying isn't something that's recommended if you're planning on
completing the rest of your bucket list! Spending time in an above water
bungalow is a revitalizing, soul-massaging experience. To say it will change
the way you live life from then onwards wouldn't be an overstatement.
Dubai, the United Arab Emirates
At one point, a few years ago, Dubai was primed to be the
next Las Vegas. As a strict Muslim country, that was never on the cards. What
was though, given its wealth, was its rise to being one of the most luxurious
destinations on earth. With 6 star hotels, fine dining and streets so clean you
could (almost) eat off of them, the pride of the United Arab Emirates really is
one of earth's greatest tourist destinations.
Yet, despite everything it offers, Dubai is more famous
for something else. Its shopping. With low levels of tax, items are often found
cheaper than at home, and with boutiques from every fashion outlet worth its salt
occupying the city, indulgence in the material isn't just a suggestion when it
comes to visiting Dubai, it's an order!
Costa Rica
The Central American country of Costa Rica isn't one of
the giants of international tourism. It doesn't have the reputation of the
Caribbean, nor the visitor amount of somewhere like Brazil. What it is though,
is a gem of a holiday location, a bucket list classic, which combines tranquil
beach scenery with the excitement of the rainforest.
In a sense, Costa Rica is two vacations in one. Its
peaceful beaches and wide array of organic, untouched nature give you the best
of both worlds when exploring the country. It's like taking a step closer to
nature, with virgin forests and animals living freely, especially as hunting for
sport was abolished in 2012.
Then, there's the Arenal volcano. If you can tear
yourself away from surfing, swimming and exploring, the Arenal volcano serves
as yet another fascinating stop on your journey around the country. With
National Park hotels close to its summit, you can get even further to nature,
and some incredible snaps to boot.
What are you waiting for?
Planet earth is much more than just rush hour traffic and
the inside of the grocery store. On its surface exist places that have the
capability of awakening things inside of you that you never knew were there.
There are places which can connect so profoundly with your heart, that your
life may have seemed destined to end up there. But, most believe destiny to be
a concept of the mind. A connecting of dots that takes place deep within the
subconscious.
To experience earth's wonders for yourself during your
short stay on it takes more than just destiny, more than dreaming, more than a
mere list. It takes action. If you're the type of person with a desire to
explore, in a way that is natural and in-built into a human being's DNA, then
accessibility, affordability and travel have never been better.
So stop dreaming and start doing. After all, nobody knows
how long he or she has got left.
