Travel Bucket List

You could say that my travel list has just about every destination on it. I just want to see it all. I love experiencing new cultures and foods and languages and each place I visit has so much to offer. Travel makes me a better person to. I am more flexible, more understanding and more adventurous when I travel. So, while my travel list is pretty much infinitely long, my travel bucket list (below) contains places I am dying to visit. Places that have always intrigued me. Places I’ve fixed upon for months (or even years). One day I hope I’m lucky enough to see the places on this list!

[This is Day 3 of the Blog Everyday in May challenge I’m participating in] :) (all images from Pinterest)

Cuba

I love Cuban food and I’ve always wanted to visit Cuba. Especially since the travel restrictions are starting to loosen up for Americans. I need to get there before it becomes too touristy! I’m trying to talk my parents into getting me a trip there as a graduation present (who needs the rent for a flat when you can go to Cuba?!?).

 

Egypt

When I was little, I wanted to be an Egyptologist. Zahi Hawass used to be my idol and I taught myself hieroglyphics (#coolkidstatus). I used to be obsessed with the gods and goddesses and processes of mummification. Books about Ancient Egypt were my life and I distinctly remember writing/starting several mini-novels that took place in Egypt. It is my dream to see the pyramids and the Sphinx and the tombs. And discover the magic of it all.

Iceland

I think it would be incredibly cool to road trip around Iceland. I’ve read so many blogs about all there is to do throughout the country. It looks absolutely beautiful, especially with the volcanoes, fjords, beaches, rivers, and all the other forms of nature. Just to spend a week or two driving around this beautiful country would be a dream come true.

Ireland 

Ireland has been on my list for awhile now. Like Iceland, I feel like it would be cool to spend a few weeks just driving around Ireland and Northern Ireland. Giant’s Causeway, the Cliffs of Moher, Dublin, Belfast, everything. SO pretty.

Russia

Russia has always appealed to me. I love its history. It’s mesmerising and confusing at the same time. Being a political science nerd, its government (and its political history) fascinates me. Plus the architecture is gorgeous and its language is cool.

 

Romania

I love Dracula and I’ve always wanted to see Vlad the Impaler’s castle. We tried to make it work for our spring break trip but it was too out of the way :( But it looks beautiful.

Quebec

Ever since I started learning French, I’ve wanted to visit Quebec. I’ve seen so many Travel Channel shows and even a few House Hunters International shows on it. Heck, I even took a class solely on Quebec in French! That also made me want to visit even more. I love the Quebecois French accent and think it would be kind of cool to try to speak French to them there and get laughed at. I just have to make sure to go when it’s not winter….

Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul. The gateway between the East and the West. Such a fascinating history and a beautiful looking city. The Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace. I want to see it all! One day, hopefully.
So, that’s my Travel Bucket List. The final list is, of course, a lot longer. But these are the places I most want to visit and the places I’ll hopefully get to see sometime in the near(ish) future.
Come back tomorrow for my next post! And like my Facebook page to keep updated!
Found Love. Now What?

The first time DC has seen at least 1 inch of snow The first time DC has seen at least 1 inch of snow in 728 days and I couldn't be happier ❄️❄️❄️ Snow is also the only thing that can get me out of bed before 8am to go for a walk 🤩 #lifewellwandered
One of my favorite things about traveling in Franc One of my favorite things about traveling in France is the constant reminder to slow down. ✨ On a spontaneous stop in Tours after a busy morning of castle-visiting, we visited the cathedral (more on that soon) and wandered over to Place Plumereau. My former self would have wanted to maximize sightseeing, making a quick stop and moving on. 💥 However, the groups of people enjoying the beautiful weather with wine and cheese made it impossible to refuse a snack and break myself. 🍷🧀 Sitting on a terrace surrounded by others just ~being~ was a great reminder to slow down and soak up the moment 😌 #lifewellwandered #mindfultravel
What's one thing you always notice when you visit What's one thing you always notice when you visit a historical building? 🤓 I always notice floors and staircases, constantly imagining who used them and the history they've witnessed. ✨ The staircases in the châteaux in the Loire Valley did not disappoint 😍 #lifewellwandered
Château de Châteaudun has one of the largest and b Château de Châteaudun has one of the largest and best preserved keeps in France, dating from the 12th century 🤓 at 102 ft (31m) tall, it dominates your view when you visit. SWIPE to see more shots from the château, including centuries-old graffiti from the castle's prisons 😯 #lifewellwandered

Do you prefer French or English gardens? 🌸 Somethi Do you prefer French or English gardens? 🌸 Something about the symmetry of French gardens (pictured here) is very pleasing to me, but I really dislike the rules that come along — no walking on grass, no random meandering from one spot to another, limited to the confines of your current trajectory. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I enjoy the freedom and wildness (is that a real word?) of English gardens much more! #lifewellwandered
Which half-timbered building would you live in? 🤔 Which half-timbered building would you live in? 🤔 Whenever I'm in Europe, I always find myself drawn to these quirky, wonky buildings, each with a unique history. 🤓 Drop me in any one and I would be content 😍 #lifewellwandered
