Travel Bucket List

Lifestyle

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?

My favorite stop in Bruges was City Hall. Built in My favorite stop in Bruges was City Hall. Built in 1376, it is one of the oldest in the Low Countries and has been used as the seat of the city government for over 600 years. 🤓
Inside City Hall is the beautiful gothic hall. It was remodeled in the 19th century and decorated with beautiful murals and woodwork from floor to ceiling. The ceiling dates from 1385. The murals were painted in the 19th century and depict different people from Belgian history, including Jan Van Eyck, Brueghel, Rubens, and more. 😍 #lifewellwandered
If you fancy climbing up about 400 steps in a spir If you fancy climbing up about 400 steps in a spiral staircase, then consider visiting the Belfry in Bruges. From the top, you'll see just how beautiful Bruges is, with its winding streets and orange rooftops. 😍
Dating back to the 13th century, the Belfry is the most important tower in Bruges. At over 83 meters (272 feet) tall, it was an important status symbol in the Middle Ages. It formerly housed the treasury and city archives, as well as a market for the town. 🏰
At the top of the tower, you'll find a carillon—47 bells playable by hand with a keyboard—with bells ranging in weight from two pounds to 11,000 pounds. Historically, the bells were used not only to mark the passage of time but also to alert residents of fires, work hours, or important events. Today, if you visit at the top of the hour, you'll get to experience the ringing of the bells. 🛎 #lifewellwandered
In March of 2015, I began my biggest trip around E In March of 2015, I began my biggest trip around Europe to date. We had about 5 weeks off (during which we were supposed to be revising for exams) so my friend and I took the opportunity to see as much of Europe as possible while also getting to know each stop as well as possible. A hard balance to strike, but we did the best we could! 🇪🇺
Our first stop was Bruges. We visited on the day of a solar eclipse, but it was already cloudy and foggy so the lack of sunlight wasn’t noticed. We spent our day in Bruges wandering around the streets and eating waffles - not a bad start to a trip around Europe that would be characterized by eating and wandering! 🍽 #lifewellwandered
The last stop on my series of day trips around Eng The last stop on my series of day trips around England was Windsor. I had been close to Windsor once before but had yet to visit Windsor Castle or the town. Windsor Castle was overwhelming. 🏰
It is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, founded by William the Conqueror and the home of 39 monarchs. We spent hours walking around the various wings and exhibits, trying to absorb everything we could. Have you visited Windsor Castle before? 👑 #lifewellwandered
Bath is most famous for, well, its Roman baths. As Bath is most famous for, well, its Roman baths. As a Roman history nerd, Bath was on my to-visit list for ages and I spent my entire visit to the baths geeking out over all of the artifacts and ruins. 🤓
For thousands of years, 240,000 gallons of 115ºF water has risen into this spring, known as the Sacred Spring, daily. In Roman times, this phenomenon was believed to be the work of the Gods, so Romans built a temple dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, a deity with healing powers, around the spring. Water from it feeds the Roman baths. 🛁 #lifewellwandered
Three churches have occupied the site of Bath Abbe Three churches have occupied the site of Bath Abbey since 757AD. There was first an Anglo-Saxon monastery, then a massive Norman cathedral (the foundations of which can be seen underground in one part of the Abbey) and then the present abbey church from the 1600s. ⛪️
The first King of England, King Edgar, was crowned here in 973 - his coronation set the precedent for the current coronation ceremony of all kings and queens of England. 👑 #lifewellwandered
I visited Winchester on what felt like the first w I visited Winchester on what felt like the first warm, sunny day in months. When you live in a place without regular sun, you always take advantage of beautiful days. Winchester made the perfect destination for a beautiful day spent walking around and exploring. 🤗
Winchester’s High Street is built along the original Roman street that led through the town. Today, it has buildings dating from the 16th century. The clock was presented after a visit from Queen Anne in 1713. 🕑 #lifewellwandered
Chances are, you’ve heard of the Knights of the Chances are, you’ve heard of the Knights of the Round Table. Did you know that the Round Table of King Arthur can be found in the Great Hall in Winchester? ⚔️
While this table was created around 1290, well after the death of King Arthur and his knights, it’s still impressive to visit. Weighing over one ton, it is thought to portray King Arthur on his throne surrounded by 24 places for his knights. King Henry VIII added a Tudor Rose during his reign. Swipe for a closer look at the table! 🤓 #lifewellwandered
In another edition of always visit the cathedral i In another edition of always visit the cathedral in the town you visit, I bring you Winchester Cathedral. One of the reasons why I chose to visit Winchester of all places was its connection to Jane Austen. Jane Austen spent the last weeks of her life in a house in Winchester and was laid to rest in its cathedral in 1817. ⛪️
