Bucket List Inspirations

Inspiring destinations and experiences to put on your bucket list

2020 gave us the time to sit still and really consider what we really wanted to do, and where we want to go in the world. Along with “you’re still on mute”, one of the most common phrases that we said in 2020 – be it on zoom or over the phone – was “life is too short” and “I can’t wait to go there”. Although a bucket list is defined as a number of experiences that a person hopes to have accomplished during their lifetime, after the year that 2020 threw at us, many hope to tick off their bucket list sooner rather than later.

The beauty of a bucket list is that they are all unique. Although our team here at Unforgettable have travelled extensively, our bucket list collectively is still huge! Cycling through the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and diving the coral-filled waters of Gabon are top of Elaine’s bucket list. Julian has his eye on South America destinations, including Argentina, Chile and Colombia. Pietro’s bucket list includes the Great Wall of China, visiting Niagara Falls in Canada, and getting colourful at Rio de Janeiro’s notorious carnival. And over 2020, Gemma became enthralled with all things conservation and wildlife, so has added Belize, Borneo and the Galapagos to her bucket list.

As you can see, a travel bucket list doesn’t have to be a destination. It can also be made up of experiences: swim with whale sharks, drink champagne in Champagne, watch the Northern Lights dance through the sky, scuba dive between tectonic plates in Iceland. The list goes on. We have put together some bucket list trips to help inspire you.
