Lost’s Bucket List

I’m pretty sure my friends would say “What do you mean you have a bucket list? Is it not just a world map circled in sharpie?”

Everywhere is on my list. It’s true.

That said, this list is one of things that I would like to do in specific places. I’ve restricted myself to my top 10, but this list is as ever changing as desert sand.

#10: Sky Dive in New Zealand

When I was last in New Zealand I had the opportunity to go sky diving, but I chickened out. If given the chance to go back, I’d definitely go this time!

#9: See Desert Lions in Namibia

I love lions, and to be fortunate enough to see such a magnificent being thriving in such a harsh environment would be really something.

#8: Swim with Great White Sharks in Guadalupe

This has been a long standing dream of mine, there’s something so primordial about Great Whites, I imagine it would be like looking prehistory in the eyes.

#7: Visit the Grave of Choi Yeong in Korea

I’m an avid fan of Kdramas, but it was Lee Min Ho’s portrayal of Choi Yeong in Faith that sparked my interest in the country’s history. I’d like to pay my respects, and learn more about Korea while there.

#6: Have Tea in Istanbul

What can I say, I think it would be amazing to be in Istanbul, partaking in one of their most well known cultural traditions! Plus I really like tea.

#5: Attend a Hanami Near Himeji Palace

This one goes way back. I watched quite a bit of anime in high school, and was always enchanted by scenes with Sakura trees and their falling petals. I’d like to see the real thing, and especially near Himeji, one of the coolest palaces I know of in Japan.

#4: Go Shopping in New York

I’d also like the ability to afford said shopping trip, but hey, one step at a time.

#3: See the Terracotta Army in China

How cool are those soldiers?! The work that must have been put into them, to have each be unique, it astonishes me. I’d love to see them for myself, to get a sense of the size of the army. Not to mention they’d be awesome inspiration for stories!

#2: Pay my Respects at a Polish Concentration Camp

Being that my family is part Polish I want to pay my respects. It’s somber, sobering, and nothing I look forward to, but it’s something I should do none the less.

#1: See the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt

I’ve wanted to see the pyramids since I was a little girl. Egypt has always held a certain mystique for me, and I’d love the chance to make my childhood dream come true. I’d love to see some crocodiles too!

Are there any places worthy of your own bucket lists? Leave a comment, I’d love to hear about them!
