So, you're a broke college student dreaming of traveling the world when you finally pay off your student loan debt... right? Well, let me feed into your wanderlust with these killer destinations that should be on your "before-I-die" bucket list.
1. Major's Spot Cay, Bahamas
Alright, so I went on a sailboat cruise with some kick-ass people in the summer of 2015 around the Bahamas, and it was probably the best and most incredible experience I've ever had. During our sailing tour, we stopped at the Hog Island which is located at Major's Spot Cay, Bahamas. Of course, the water in the Bahamas is crystal clear, but if you're an animal lover, it's fun to go feed and swim with the "domesticated" pigs.
2. Honolulu, Hawaii
When I was still in high school, my band traveled to the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii to perform at the Memorial Day event. We had some extra travel time and spent lots of time hanging out around the shopping district (which is AWESOME if you're a shopaholic like me) and the water and scenery is just beautiful. Fair warning, the water is REALLY rough around certain points of the year.
3. Las Pozas, Mexico
If you like abandon-esque places like me, this place is a gem. Las Pozas, Mexico is actually the work of the Englishman, Edward James, who was a founder of the Surrealist art movement. This 80-acre plot of land is filled with surrealist sculptures that can reach up to four stories tall.
4. Aurora Borealis in Alaska
One of my dreams has always been to see the Northern Lights from Alaska. Night time is the most beautiful to me, and I would die happy just to see them.
Yes, I know you can see them from other northernmost areas of the world, but I'm an American and don't need a passport to fly to Alaska... lol
5. Palace of Versailles, France
This. IS. Beautiful. Go France.
6. Pink Lake in Australia
Apparently, the pink color comes from the algae that grows in the lake.
Enough said.
7. Grand Canyon, AZ, USA
Yes, it's cliché, but it's beautiful. Honestly, who wouldn't want to see this beauty?
8. Playa del Amore, Mexico
Also known as "Hidden Beach," the only way you can see it is from the air, and the only entrance is a tunnel from the ocean to the underground shore. Wouldn't that be awesome?
9. Lock Bridge in France
10. Red Beach, Panjin, China
Red's my favorite color. I think it's now my new favorite beach.
11. Antelope Canyon, AZ
This site is located in the LeChee chapter of the Navajo Nation in Arizona. The Antelope Canyon site is two separate canyons, an upper and a lower, and flash flooding created these beatufiul canyons.
12. Swing at the "End of the World," Ecuador
If you're afraid of heights, I don't recommend... but you adrenaline junkies out there may appreciate! Isn't this a beautiful site?
Let's make some travel plans.
