In the fall of 2016, I will be studying abroad in Florence, Italy for an entire semester. These are the things I want to do and plan to see. Hopefully I'll be able to come home with a few crossed off my bucket list.
1. See the Northern Lights
For some reason, I've always had the desire to see the Northern Lights. To be honest, I'm not even sure when you can see the Northern Lights, but if I can see them during my time abroad I will be quite happy. Finland or Iceland, here I come (despite hating cold weather.)
2. Go on a Gondola ride
What better place to go on a Gondola ride than Italy?
3. See the Eiffel Tower at night
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the Eiffel Tower at any time of the day, but if given the opportunity I'd love to see it twinkle at night.
4. Watch the sunset in Greece
What better place in the world to watch the sunset than on one of Greece's beautiful islands?
5. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain
This is such an iconic fountain in the world that I want to experience first hand, plus it'll make a great photo or video.
6. Drink beer at Oktoberfest
Don't worry I'll be of legal age. What better place to enjoy some beer than Oktoberfest?
7. Go on a Wine Tour in Tuscany
Tuscany will be the perfect place to go on a wine tour with friends for a day filled of relaxation with great views and wine (hopefully.)
8. Go to the Sistine Chapel
A day spent viewing Michelangelo's gorgeous masterpieces would not be a day wasted. I'll be taking an art history class abroad and Michelangelo is going to be a must see on my list, especially because I'll have a better appreciation for the arts.
9. Lounge on the beaches of the Amalfi Coast
I'm a huge fan of relaxing on the beach and being in the water, so I know this is a place I'll be visiting - the perfect weekend getaway.
10. Wander around Copenhagen
Although I don't know much about Copenhagen, I wouldn't mind spending the day wandering around what appears to be a beautiful city.
11. Go to Barcelona
After seeing the beautiful Barcelona in the Cheetah Girls many years ago, I'd love to take a weekend trip to explore the beautiful city.
