I love to travel and wish I could do it more. With my love of traveling, I have always had a bucket list of the top places I want to go and some are even checked off!

1. Rome, Italy


When I went to Rome my junior year of high school, I fell in love with the food, the atmosphere and the fashion. I loved walking around and visiting the Fontana de Trevi, the Colosseum and the Pantheon. I tell people, "I ate my way through Rome and Florence, and coming home, the Italian food was not the same." My love of history grew as I saw all the old buildings and knew the stories and the struggles behind them. Visiting Rome again and doing more research into the history of the city so wee where the local spots are would be fun.

2. Barcelona, Spain

When I went to Spain my senior year, I learned some about life. In Oviedo, Spain, life is more family oriented, and I loved that. The way of life in Spain is drastically different than in the United States. When I went to Madrid, I fell in love with the old buildings. My dream is to go to Barcelona, however. Barcelona has some of the best fashion designers head quarters in the world and fashion is a passion of mine. It is the full of fashion and the buildings are amazing. It is a dream of mine to go to Barcelona as I have only been in the airport. I love being able to speak Spanish with the locals and understanding it and that what makes Spain so fun to visit.

3. Santorini, Greece

I am sure you have all seen the amazing picture of the very white houses and the amazing deep blue roofs with the coast line. I look at it often and just imagine how it would look in person. Greece has many beautiful places and Santorini is just one of them. I would like to explore them all but the views in Santorini are so breathtaking that I have to see them. Santorini has more to offer than just views, it has the Nea Kameni and Santorini Caldera. Both are volcanos that are possible for exploration and an amazing landmark.

4. Paris, France

Not being able to speak French will be a small struggle but I have dreamed of going to Paris. The “City of Love” has always been a mystery to me but something I have always wanted to explore. Besides it being one of the homes of fashion, it also has some of the best food. With the most delectable pastries such as macarons. If I could eat my way through Europe, I would. Along with the food and fashion, the lock bridge and Eiffel tower are a site to see as touristy as it is.

5. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil


Rio de Janeiro is known for some of the best beaches in the world along with some of the best views. Who doesn’t want a vacation to lay on some of the best beaches and relax. Along with the beaches Rio as so much to offer such as Christ de redeemer and fun adventures. Rio offers many opportunities and adventures such as zip lining, bungee jumping and hang gliding.

The list goes on and on including Thailand, Israel, Egypt and many more places. The important thing is that you travel and explore, seeing other cultures changes you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
