Ready to explore the world? Follow your bucket list dreams and start planning your next adventure
May 21st 2023
There are countless amazing places to visit around the world. As I have curated trips for many clients and studied different destinations, my bucket list has grown considerably. I have been fortunate to be able to visit some, but here is my current bucket list. To be honest - it may change tomorrow. I'll admit - I have been to a few, but just because, I have checked them off, doesn't mean they should be taken off it - Right?
The Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
These ancient wonders of the world have stood for thousands of years and are a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the ancient Egyptians. In fact, they are the oldest and last remaining of the original seven world wonders. That's reason enough for me
African Safari
Who hasn't added an African safari to the top of their bucket list vacations? A safari is thrilling, awe-inspiring, and picturesque, especially when conducted in one of the world's most phenomenal landscapes.
The Taj Mahal, India
This marble mausoleum in Agra is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and a symbol of love and devotion and I'm told even more beautiful in person.
The Acropolis, Greece
This ancient citadel in Athens is home to some of the most famous monuments of Greek civilization, including the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike. I cannot wait to check it out in May.
The Colosseum, Italy
This iconic Roman amphitheater is one of the most recognizable symbols of ancient Rome and a must-see for anyone visiting Italy. Last year, I was near it. This year I made it inside and on the arena floor. Amazing!
The Northern Lights in Iceland
As one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, witnessing the aurora borealis will be one of my greatest pleasures. Whether I catch sight of a delicate green glow or are privy to vivacious crimson lines streaking across the horizon, I know this wonderful spectacle is breathtaking and unforgettable.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
A World Heritage-listed area, the Great Barrier Reef is home to a rich ecosystem filled with everything from the smallest zooplankton to tropical fish to marine mammals like dugongs and dolphins.
The Vatican City, Italy
This independent city-state within Rome is home to some of the world's most important works of art and architecture, including St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. I have visited twice and both times were moving experiences.
The Louvre, France
This iconic museum in Paris is home to some of the world's most famous art collections, including the Mona Lisa and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. I can say first hand that it is amazing.
The Grand Canyon, USA
An area of immense natural beauty, it's no wonder the Grand Canyon tops so many vacation bucket lists. No photograph can do this spectacular place justice. You just can't fathom the landscape's innate beauty, the deep orange of the rock, or the canyon's immense size without seeing it in real life.
