As a 19 year old, broke college student there's nothing that seems more appealing than to travel the world, explore new cultures, and gain life experiences. College provides a new found sense of freedom and independence that encourages many kids to want to go out and explore, and I admit to falling victim to this impulse as well. Perusing the feeds on social media of travel bloggers and adventurists while gawking at the stunning images captured on their many adventures does make the view outside my dorm window a little less appealing. This being said, over the past year I have created a list of places to visit in my lifetime that look too amazing to pass up: The ultimate travel bucket list. From that list I have collected 6 places that I hope to visit before I turn 25.

1. Havasupai Falls, Arizona.

After hiking down the walls of the Grand Canyon you enter one of the most stunning groups of falls imagined. The blue-green water glistens like some sort of oasis in a mirage. Totally worth the ten mile hike.

2. Zion National Park, Utah.

Hiking through the steep cliff walls of the Zion Narrows, wading waist to shoulder deep in the crisp Virgin River, and experiencing rock climbing on prodigious rock faces make the Zion experience astonishing.

3. Devil's Den Prehistoric Spring, Florida.

Located near Williston, Florida lies an underground spring that can be accessed by the public through SCUBA tours. A rare and majestic hidden gem for sure.

4. Mendenhall Glacier Cave, Alaska.

This glacier cave looks like some sort of scene out of a movie. Because of its location in Alaska, it may be one of the hardest spots to reach out of the six destinations.

5. Big Sur, California.

Beaches? Waterfalls? What could be better?

6. Coyote Buttes (The Wave), Arizona.

The Wave is only accessible by a permit granted via the lottery method in order to ensure the least amount of erosion to the sandstone as possible. Although it may not be easy to be granted a permit, the site is more than worth it and ranks very high up on my bucket list.
