Bucket List
A collection of amazing places, natural wonders, and unique experiences that I want to explore in my lifetime.
Bucket List
Everyone has a bucket list of things they would like to do in life—for some it’s a small list; for others it’s an elaborate, extensive list. My bucket list was comprised of things related to travel.
To start with, there are different lists on the internet that list the wonders of the world. Some are for natural wonders of the world (for example, Victoria Falls, better known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe), which I have visited several times. There are the man-made wonders of the world, like the Pyramids of Egypt or the Taj Mahal (both of which I have been fortunate to see).
Regardless of what is on your list, try to see at least one item—the biggest regret we have in life is ‘if only I could have…’ Remember, “Don’t gather stuff—you leave it all behind anyway.” Gather experiences you can carry forever as beautiful memories.”
“Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected till the end of my life.”
To me, these are the top man-made Wonders of the World.
- Great Pyramids of Giza — Egypt
- Abu Simbel — Egypt
- Taj Mahal — India
- Petra — Jordan
- Great Wall — China
- Angkor Wat — Cambodia
- Machu Picchu — Peru
