I know at the age of 25, I should not be thinking about starting a bucket list, but for the past few weeks, I have been thinking about the things I would like to accomplish before I die--most of them are what anyone would like to accomplish. But, there is one thing most people would not think about accomplishing before they die, and that is to travel to as many parts of the world as I can.
Most people my age are thinking about continuing to get their “feet wet” in corporate America, dating that special someone, starting families and traveling across the country. While that is all on my list, I am just sold on wanting to see as much as the world as I can because there is a great big world out there that I still have not seen.
Some of the top places I would like to visit before I pass on would be Paris, France, Tokyo, Japan, the Bahamas, and I would love to complete missionary work in South America and Africa.
I would love to travel to Paris, as it is known as the “love capital of the world.” It is known for couples to spend their honeymoon, get married or just to take romantic vacations.
With the realization that Paris has come under attack in recent years, I am not in a hurry to travel to Paris, but I always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower and see some of the oldest art museums in the world.
When I was younger, my grandmother visited Paris, and although it was expensive, it was worth the trip. For me, of course, just to get there once will be enough for me.
The reason why I want to visit Tokyo is that I am becoming more interested in anime shows, in which more than half originate out of Japan, namely Tokyo. The Japan culture is so intriguing to me, and I am beginning to dive into more documentaries about the culture of Japan that I will be learning about before I go there so I will be fully prepared when it comes time to visit.
One of my favorite anime, "Attack on Titan," was created in Japan, and the animation of the whole movie is so enlightening and intriguing that I would like to visit the very studio that the anime was made.
Tokyo has one of the most famous downtown areas in the world, and I believe it is bigger than Times Square in New York. I am personally a city dweller, and I will definitely want to check that out. It is not every day that a person my age is this eager to travel to Japan.
The final destination I would like to travel to is the Bahamas. Known as the top honeymoon destination and the top destination for vacationers, the Bahamas is somewhere I always wanted to travel to.
With its blue waters and white sand, the Bahamas is somewhere I would like to go for just a plain, old-fashioned vacation. Ever since I could remember I wanted to travel to the Bahamas and spend a week there.
They have a very amusing waterpark, and with a slide that goes into the ocean, it is a slide I would want to try out, and it will be the first thing I try out when I arrive in the Bahamas.
In preparation for my travels around the world, there are things I have to accomplish. I have to learn the language of the appropriate country, what to do and not to do while in that particular country, how much money I need to be able to get what I need and of course, the time difference.
Most of all, I need a stable job. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and unfortunately, due to me being a broke college student, I have not been able to do much of it. I really hope that will change in the coming years.
