As a college student routinely going to classes and studying all the time, I've spent a good amount of time dreaming of global destinations/events I hope to see and experience in my lifetime. Traveling is one of the things I enjoy the most and I hope to be able to keep adding destinations and traveling to them throughout my life.

Sitting at school during finals week has only made me want to be somewhere else exploring and experiencing. Here are a few of my favorite destinations that I've heard of over the past year and added to my bucket list.

1. Green Lake in Austria

This lake is unique because it is a 40 ft deep lake in the winter and a walkable park in the summer. I'd definitely want to visit in the winter to scuba dive through benches and tree stumps.

2. Carnival - Rio de Janeiro

Carnival is a celebration before Lent that attracts people from around the globe. Street parties, parades, and vivid costumes keep festivities going all night. I would enjoy dressing up in a bright costume and parading the streets with a group of friends.

3. Hitachi Seaside Park - Japan

The pictures should say it all for this one.

4. Glowing Beach, Maldives

Chemicals cause plankton to glow and light up the waves on the shoreline at this beautiful beach. I can't wait to be there one day.

5. Berlin Wall

The history behind this wall lands it a top spot on my list.

6. Great Wall of China

Another fascinating wall with a rich history I'd love to be able to see firsthand.

7. Running of the Bulls

Every year in Barcelona and Madrid, men dress in white and test their speed and strength against the bulls set free in the streets. It's a fast-paced, exciting event I'd love to see firsthand one day.

8. Kings Day, Netherlands

One day every year, flea markets and parties fill the street and the country turns orange as people gather to celebrate the king's birthday.

9. Clear Water in Menorca, Spain

These boats seem to be floating through the crystal clear water in this destination in Spain.

10. Koh Samui, Thailand

This exotic island speaks for itself, with it's beautiful beaches and unique activities like riding elephants.

While I'm at school studying for finals, I dream of visiting these destinations and experiencing all that they have to offer. If I had unlimited money and time, I would be in a new country every day. I hope to create a life for myself where traveling around the world is viable. Until then, I'll be enjoying the little adventures in life and burying my head in the books.
