When I was growing up I had no idea what a travel bucket list is? In fact I never new one might have such a list. For me visiting my grandmothers paternal home or my uncles home was vacation. It was only during my collage days I realized how fun travelling is. I went on my first trip outside my hometown in 2006 and I visited Sikkim. It was an epic trip with friends, full of new experiences and learnings.
To be honest a travel bucket list is actually very helpful for someone like me. Let’s accept it, not everyone has that crazy money and time to travel and see every single place that we come across social media. However, we desire to visit beautiful destinations at least once in our life. Hence, Travel Bucket List keeps our task easy.
Why should we have a Travel Bucket list?
I completely understand!! many of you might ask me Why? But trust me this simple thing may have a greater impact on your life. I am not saying someone without desire to travel has no life. However, this simple aspiration can actually bring in a lot of positivity in your life. Because exploring new places and culture can give us a sense of greater things that we don’t learn staying at only one place. It expands our horizon and let’s us see the world from a different vantage point. Moreover, when we travel we feel happy and content. A sense of accomplishment can be felt each time we visit a new place. It doesn’t have to be a land very far but it can be a city or village nearby. For me every place has a significant character and charm. Sometimes, we need to travel to focus and motivate ourselves as well. Escape from a mundane life to get inspired.
Nonetheless, A travel bucket list helps us in planning accordingly.
How to make a travel bucket list
In simple terms, it is a list that includes places that one wishes to travel and explore in ones lifetime. It is something that one may create in order to express ones goals and desirers.
To begin with, a travel bucket list is something that should reflect what you want. It must not be a last option to escape some sort of problematic situation. It must be a medium for you to get motivated and accomplish things that you never thought of achieving. These can be material or non-material things, but has a meaning in your life. It pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you create memories that last forever.
For me I always wanted to travel to certain place that is blessed with nature and greenery. The mountains being my absolute favorite. But I was also keen on exploring a different culture and people. I am scared of heights but I still was determined that given the opportunity I would even climb a mountain. Finally, I was able to do what I want and felt empowered when I went to the places and even climbed the mountain.
Make memories and feel accomplished
Every travel experience helps you grow as a person. Good or bad, easy or tough. It may be a journey that you went on with your friends or family or solo. It will ultimately give you a sense of complete joy. This will not only help you learn a ton of things but also create memories that will last lifetime. Thinking of that hike up the hill or munching on the local food nearby a river stream etc. can be pretty amazing. These experiences you get will never be felt unless you step out.
Finally, the only thing that makes you complete and happy is you. Having a travel bucket list and some goals on that list is a feeling that keeps you moving. It is fun actually, however big or small the place may be, it will be something that you ticked off your list. Therefore, don’t wait much, run your imagination wild and think what you wanna do? and where you want to visit next? Because, it does take time to plan things.
