14 Places You'll Totally Want To Add To Your Travel Bucket List

pexels.com

If you're like me, you've never really done much travelling. That's not to say I don't want to travel, but I just haven't had many opportunities. Sure, I've done your standard out-of-state family visit trip and a Disney vacation, but there are plenty of places outside the United States that I want to explore. I've only been out of the country once before - to Belize - and it definitely made me want to see more of the world. Here's a list of places I've always wanted to visit!

1. Amsterdam

Giphy

Amsterdam is first on my list for a few reasons. It's beautiful, with all the canals and architecture. Also, there's a lot of history there. I'd love to visit the Anne Frank museum and the Corrie ten Boom House someday!

2. Prince Edward Island

Giphy

If you've ever read "Anne of Green Gables," you understand why I want to visit this place. Based on Lucy Maud Montgomery's descriptions alone, it sounds like one of the most beautiful places in the world.

3. Tulsa, OK

Giphy

This seems like an odd choice, but one of my favorite books, "The Outsiders," is set in Tulsa. The movie was filmed there as well, and the house they used has since been turned into a museum! I would love to see my favorite book come to life like that.

4. London

Giphy

Call me a nerd, but there's so much history in London. Between all the museums and all the landmarks, there are so many things I want to see. Plus, it's the birthplace of Shakespeare, who wouldn't get excited about that?

5. Israel

Giphy

Sometimes, it's hard to think about all the Bible stories you grow up hearing about actually happening at a place you can visit. I think it would be so cool to see the places where people like Moses, David, and Jesus lived, to walk where they walked. Seeing history right in front of you makes it more real, so I definitely want to visit Israel one day!

6. Ireland

Giphy

My dad visited Ireland when I was younger, and after he showed me all the pictures he took, I knew I wanted to go there myself one day! Plus, they have a bunch of castles there - who wouldn't want to see some castles?

7. Iceland

Giphy

Aside from being absolutely beautiful, it's super cheap to go to Iceland. They want to increase tourism there, so it's pretty cheap to fly there and experience the sights.

8. Rome

Giphy

Between the food and the history, I will be in my happy place when I visit Rome someday. I can't even begin to list the places I want to visit in Rome - there's far too many!

9. Hawaii

Giphy

Hawaii is warm and a group of islands, what else could I want? Plus, the USS Arizona memorial is there, and I've wanted to see that since I did a report on it in middle school.

10. Belize (Again)

Giphy

As my only trip out of the country so far, Belize has a special place in my heart. I want to go back and visit the places I went to before, and get to explore more of such a beautiful country!

11. Egypt

Giphy

Pyramids, mummies, Nile River, need I say more?

12. Australia

Giphy

There's so much flora and fauna that we don't get to see in North America, so I think it would definitely be a fun trip! Also, I've always wanted to go to the Southern Hemisphere to see the different constellations that can't be seen up here.

13. France

Giphy

I'm very French, so I'd love to visit any part of France just to see the land of my ancestors. Plus, a trip to the Eiffel Tower would be pretty cool, wouldn't it?

14. Barcelona

Giphy

Ever since watching The Cheetah Girls 2, I've always wanted to visit Spain. I would love to be immersed in the culture, experience all the amazing things Spain has to offer, and get a chance to practice my Spanish (which is extremely rusty)!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
