12 Places For Your Traveling Bucket List
Jamie Street

Everyone has at least one place they'd absolutely love to visit someday, whether the destination has a historic, ancestral, literary, or simply enjoyable meaning. Traveling anywhere ignites a passion within a person of a desire to see and experience a multitude of cultural aspects. To travel is truly a privilege that everyone should have the opportunity to experience at some point within their lives, and I too hope that I will be lucky enough to travel to several countries and certain destinations someday. These places include some of the destinations that everyone may wish to consider for their own traveling endeavors:

1. Fairy Glen, Isle Of Skye, Scotland

Fairy Glen in the Isle of Skye looks exactly as its name indicates; namely, something straight out of a fairytale. The stark greenery with the gloomy sky and swirling landscape are straight out of a fantasy novel or film and encapsulates all that tourists imagine classic Scottish scenery to be!

2. The Redwood National Park, California

Other than serving for a location for filming of Star Wars and its immense historical background, the Redwood National Park is home to some of the largest trees, fascinating wildlife, and interesting climate (a temperate rainforest!).

3. Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Finland

This resort has been on my travel bucket list for as long as I can remember. I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights, and this seems like the best way to do it. The cozy igloos contrasting the frigid landscape provide the perfect arctic getaway to see one of nature's most beautiful phenomena!

4. The Crooked Forest, Poland

Do I even need to explain how remarkable this would be to see in person? Look at the trees! Look at the mist surrounding the landscape! This place once again look's straight out of a fairytale (though possibly more as a home for a villain's lair).

5. The Jacobite Steam Train (Glenfinnan Viaduct), Scotland

While this isn't a location necessarily, who wouldn't want to ride on the Hogwarts Express?! It showcases a stunning view of Scotland, plus it provides an opportunity to experience a little bit of magic in reality.

6. Hobbiton, New Zealand

If you're a fan of The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings, then Hobbiton must be at the top of your list for traveling! It's absolutely stunning, and you're truly able to step right into your favorite imaginary world!

7. Black Beach, Dyrhólaey, Iceland

Iceland has recently been recognized as quite the incredible travel destination with a multitude of great locations to visit, and the Black Beach is no exception. The sand is composed of basalt lava, and Dyrhólaey is home to adorable Puffins!

8. Pompeii, Italy

While incredibly somber and disturbing due to the reason for the city's fame, Pompeii nonetheless would be incredibly fascinating to witness in person and would certainly evoke gratitude for safety from natural disasters and technology to foresee such events from any visitor!

9. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

I seem to have a running theme of fairytales-come-to-life on this list of destinations, as Neuschwanstein Castle really takes the cake for fitting the mold as such. Its position high upon and among the trees serve as a lonely yet enchanting place representing the extensive history of the world showing glimpses of the past even within the modern day.

10. Wisteria Tunnel, Japan

Japan additionally possesses absolutely magical locations; however, the Wisteria Tunnel tends to top the list in my opinion. This tunnel looks like and must have the aroma of romance and beauty. It's simply stunning!

11. Cinque Terre, Italy

Cinque Terre has earned a reputation as one of the most colorful cities in the world and has a view that is just stunning. The bright colors of the buildings against the fiery sun and beautifully blue ocean makes for a scenery you'd never forget.

12. Grasse, France

http://wanderlusteurope.tumblr.com

Grasse is known as the "perfume capital" of the world due to its extensive flower fields. It just looks so quaint, quiet, and stunning, once again evoking the sense of stepping right into a fantasy realm!

This concludes the list of magical, literary, and historical locations to add to your travel itinerary! Hopefully at least one of these destinations struck you as worthy of a visit some day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
