Over the weekend I watched the movie "The Bucket List" if you haven't seen it, its a really nice movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon. The whole movie is about two older men who find out that they both have terminal cancer and only have 6 months to a year to live, so they make a list of things that they want to accomplish before they're time is up. During the movie they travelled to some beautiful destinations, this got me thinking, where do I want to travel to before my time is up?
The first five are places that they visited in the movie. I think most of these destinations would be on everyone's list.
The Great Wall of China
This has always been a dream of mine. I have a few friends who have visited the Great Wall and they said it was amazing. The photos i have seen always blow me away!
Mount Everest
I'm not much of a climber, so I doubt I'll ever actually climb the mountain, but visiting Nepal and seeing the mountain would be good enough for me. The plus for this would be that I don't know anyone who has actually seen Everest.
Egypt
The pyramids are a destination I think everyone wants to visit.
Rome
I will be visiting Rome this September. I'm really excited. I've taken several art history classes over the years and because of that Rome has always been the number one place for me to go. If Rome is the only place on this list I actually visit, then that's fine.
Skydiving
I know skydiving isn't an actual destination, but its something I've always wanted to do. Recently a friend of mine said 'If nothing is wrong with the plane why would I jump out of it?' I think many people feel that way, but for me, it seems like such an amazing thing to do.
The other five - these are the five places I'd visit that weren't in the movie.
England
My Grandfather was born in England and because of that I've always wanted to go. Friends of mine who have gone have said that the food is great, and the shopping is even better!
Paris
The city of love. I have wanted to visit Paris since I was a little girl, I think I saw a movie or two about Paris and just fell in love!
Japan
I'm actually attempting to learn Japanese! I've always been interested in the culture and the history of Japan. My boyfriend - the lucky guy, will be heading to Japan in September, I'm so jealous!
Mexico
I think its because of all those art history classes. When I first learned about the temples and their culture I remember being taken back by it, because it was so different from our own.
Terracotta Warriors
I think that the idea of making 8,099 different warriors some with horses is unbelievable. Apparently it took 700,000 million warriors and over 38 years to complete it!
So that’s my list. What's yours?
