When the time comes to plan your next vacation, it's easy to fall into the trap of going to the same places and doing the same things that you've done last year and the year before. Maybe it's time for a change. If you don't start going on your bucket list vacations, you may never get the opportunity to do those things you've always wanted to do.
For some people, the item on their list is a particular destination more than it is a particular thing to do. This makes it easier to achieve the dream because they simply need to save up for the cost of the flight and accommodation. Once they've identified the city or country they'd like to visit, they can then start thinking about what they'd like to experience once they're there.
An epic trek is a bucket list item for many people. For instance, walking Peru's Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a popular and achievable choice. If your dream is to walk all of the Appalachian Trail but you can't take several months off work in one go, it's entirely possible to break it up in smaller sections and do one of these every time you do have the opportunity.
One type of journey that can really change your life and strengthen your faith is to go on a religious pilgrimage. For Muslims the ultimate destination is Mecca; for Sikhs, it's the Golden Temple of Amritsar; for Jews, the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The most famous pilgrimage for Christians is the Camino de Santiago, which can start from anywhere and ends at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
If you want to find out more about your heritage, it's a great idea to consider a visit to a place that was of special significance for your ancestors. Maybe your father fought in a war on foreign soil and you'd like to see the places he experienced. Another option is to find out which town your ancestors came from and to go see what it looks like today.
If there's one particular thing that you really want to do before you die, it's wise to combine it with a trip to a destination you'd love to see. For example, you can easily combine an African safari with a bungee jump off the Victoria Falls Bridge between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Another once-in-a-lifetime experience that you may combine with wildlife viewing is to scale Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Another way to have an unforgettable experience is to volunteer while you go on vacation. Simply look for a project at the destination you'd like to visit or decide on the type of volunteer work you'd like to do and then choose your destination accordingly. For instance, if you'd like to work with sea turtles, you may want to consider a trip to Costa Rica or Cape Verde.
It's not that difficult to go on bucket list vacations if you really want to. All you need is some planning and then the determination to see it through. Once you have an idea of what you'd like to do and where you'd like to go, you only need to break up that goal into smaller goals and start working on achieving them, one by one. Every great journey, after all, begins with the simple step of putting one foot in front of the other.
