My Travel Bucket List
Travel Channel

Ever since I can remember I have always had a love for adventure. I remember being a kid and my brother and I would explore the woods behind our house. As I grew up, this love for adventure turned into a passion for travel. If I had unlimited money and a lot of free time, I would travel the world, see new places, and immerse myself in different cultures. These following ten places on my so-called "bucket list" are the top ten places I'd definitely like to visit sometime in my life.


#10 - Canada

Despite living in upstate New York and being less than three hours from the Canadian border, I have actually never had the chance to visit our neighboring country. My "must-sees" include the busy metropolitan areas like Montreal and Toronto, as well as some other sights like Old Quebec and Jasper National Park.


#9 - Prague

While I don't know much about this city, it's impressive architecture and stunning views makes the city someplace that I'd like to experience. My "must-sees" include the Old Town Square, the Charles Bridge, and the Dancing House.


#8 - Greece

I think what has initially drawn me to Greece was all the Greek stories I read in freshmen year of high school. My "must-sees" include the typical tourist sights such as the Parthenon and the Acropolis of Athens, as well as lesser known ones like the Great Theatre of Epidaurus and the cliff-side city of Santorini.


#7 - South Africa

I never really knew much about South Africa until I met a girl named Haidee on a Leadership Summit in Boston, MA. Haidee was in my smaller group for the week and she was from Cape Town, South Africa. After hearing about the culture, I decided that I'd have to visit. My "must-sees" include The Cape of Good Hope, the city of Cape Town, and Kruger National Park.


#6 - Spain

I learned a lot about Spain and its' culture after taking Spanish classes from pre-school until eleventh grade. My "must-sees" include bustling areas like Madrid and Barcelona, as well as other sights such as Costa Brava and Cuenca.


#5 - Great Britain

In my opinion, Great Britain is a popular tourist destination for anyone visiting Europe. Both the high school I attended and the college I currently attend have "study abroad" trips to the capital of Great Britain, London. My "must-sees" include Big Ben, Stonehenge, and Westminster Abbey.


#4 - Italy

Another popular tourist destination is Italy, a country with a rich culture and great food. My "must-sees" are pretty much over the place, including Venice, Rome, Naples, Pisa, and the Amalfi Coast.


#3 - All 50 US States

One thing I would love to do is pack up my car and take a road trip around the country with some friends. Having never left the East Coast of the US, there is so much more to the country that I would love to explore. My "must-sees" include the French Quarter, the Grand Canyon, Alcatraz, and Zion National Park.


#2 - Australia

Ever since I was a kid and I had Scooby Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire on repeat, I've always wanted to travel to Australia myself. My "must-sees" include the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, the Sydney Opera House, and Bondi Beach.


#1 - Ireland

The place I want to travel to the most would have to be Ireland. My mother's side of the family has Irish heritage, and I've always thought it would be interesting to see my roots and where my family originated from. My "must-sees" include the Cliffs of Moher, Blarney Castle, and Dublin.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
