Sightseeing Bucketlist Part 1 of ?
I have a very long travel bucketlist, but these are some of the sights I really want to see before I die. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR BUCKETLIST ITEMS?
1. Machu Picchu: Peru
I've always had a fascination with old historical structures. I find learning the history of ancient cultures very interesting, plus it's one of the 7 wonders of the world.
2. The Great Pyramids and The Sphinx: Egypt
It's so crazy to think about what happened at these historical landmarks when you're standing within them. What notable people may have stood in the same spot as you. The amount of intensive labor and sacrifice/suffering people went through to build these monuments.
3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa: Italy
The tower began to lean during construction due to soft ground. It continued to get worse until its completion but has been stabilized since. The tower is actually a cathedral bell tower with 7 total bells. I'd like to go and do the touristy thing of "holding" the tower up OR "knocking" it down in a photo 😂.
4. The Hollywood Sign: California, USA
If you live in the US, chances are you've heard about the iconic Hollywood Sign. I just think this would be a cool one and done photo op.
5. The Roman Colosseum: Italy
Circling back to numbers 1 and 2. I'm also very much into Roman (and Greek) mythology.
6. Giraffe Manor: Kenya
This has been my DREAM accommodation for many years. Giraffes are my favorite animal and Africa is the # 1 continent I want to visit. If you stay in the actual Manor, giraffes can come up to your window and join you for meals 🦒.
7. Trevi Fountain: Italy
A huge fountain constructed in the 1700s. It's one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain is connected to an aqueduct used in ancient Rome. People toss millions of euros worth of coins in the fountain each year. The coins are collected and given to charity.
Creating a travel bucket list can be an exciting and inspiring task. With so many incredible destinations to choose from, one can explore historical landmarks, natural wonders, and unique cultures. Traveling offers not only personal enjoyment but also opportunities for personal growth and new experiences. Start with the stunning Machu Picchu in Peru, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its breathtaking beauty and rich history. A hike along the Inca Trail offers a perfect blend of adventure and learning. Then you can marvel at the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx in Egypt, which offer a glimpse into ancient civilization and engineering. Italy is a treasure trove of iconic sites, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Trevi Fountain, ideal for breathtaking photographs and cultural immersion. In the USA, the Hollywood Sign serves as a reminder of the iconic film industry, presenting an opportunity for a quick photo op. Lastly, Giraffe Manor in Kenya provides a unique lodging experience unlike any other, where giraffes greet guests. Planning visits to such unique places not only satisfies individual wanderlust but also enriches one’s understanding of the globe. Documenting these experiences can inspire others and contribute to a larger community of travel enthusiasts. Make sure to share your own bucket list items and inspire fellow travelers!
