A picnic is a fun way to connect with friends or a romantic partner. There is something special about being surrounded by nature and enjoying a delicious meal.

#3: Ride in a Hot Air Balloon-

Going on a hot air balloon ride at sunrise is one of the most incredible feelings in the world because you get to marvel at the beautiful scenery and views below you. The most famous place to go on a hot air balloon ride is in Cappadocia, Turkey. There is something magical about seeing the unique landscape of fairy chimneys, valleys, and rock formations from above.

#4: Visit a Chocolate Factory and Learn How to Make Chocolate-

First of all, who does not love the smell of chocolate? I certainly do. The best way to learn how to make chocolate is to visit a Chocolate Factory! We all know Belgium has the BEST chocolate in the world. My sister worked abroad in Belgium and brought some home, so I KNOW this is a fact. You can book a chocolate tour or take a class in Belgium! I took a chocolate workshop in Peru to make chocolate in 2019. I must have added WAY too much salt because my handmade chocolate tasted terrible.

#5: Travel the World-

Traveling will allow you to live out your bucket list dreams! Who does not want to experience the incredible Swiss Alps in Switzerland or the changing of the guard at the Buckingham Palace in London? Do you want to swim with nurse sharks in Punta Cana or whale sharks in the Philippines? Book the flight, chase your dreams, and travel the world. Did you know? Viator has tours that you can book ALL over the world!

#6: Go on a Crazy Rollercoaster Ride-

#15 Drink at an Ice Bar- 

I thought I booked an Ice Bar experience in NYC, but it was not an Ice Bar at all. Bartenders gave us free shots while we were standing in the freezer. A real ice bar is a drinking establishment made of ice with ice sculptures kept at a low temperature to hinder melting. 

#16: Ride Bikes on the Beach-
