2: Air Boat Across an Alligator Infested Swamp-
American Alligators have one of the most powerful bites ever recorded of a living animal. Alligators are captivating creatures and what better way to see them than on an airboat tour through the Everglades? Also, the park puts together a DANGEROUS show after the boat ride. The brave performer put his head inside the Alligator’s mouth. Can you believe it? I was SO scared for him.
3: Surf Lesson-
Surfing can be hard, but with a few lessons and TONS of practice, it can become a fun hobby.
4: White Water Rafting-
Go white water rafting down a rapid river for the ultimate adrenaline rush! Tom and I experienced this activity in Lake George, and it was not as terrifying as I had thought it would be.
5: Explore Epcot in Disneyworld-
Epcot is quite EPIC, with authentic cuisine from around the world throughout the park. I had my first LEGAL MARGARITA at Epcot at a Mexican restaurant on my 21st birthday!
6: Swim with Stingrays-
During your swimming with stingray’s excursion, you will have the chance to snorkel alongside these magnificent creatures as they glide gracefully through the water. I was able to hold and feed the stingray squid!
7: Ride a Zip-Line-
Zip lining is fun and safe because you are securely harnessed and attached to the cable as you soar through the mountains at high speeds. All you have to do is hold on and take in the incredible scenic views. Tom and I went zip lining in Costa Rica, and it was great up until the point where we had to ROPE SWING from one small platform to another over a river and that was terrifying.
8: Explore the Desert-
The desert is a peaceful place to explore, but DO NOT go alone or get lost because it can be difficult to navigate. The best hike in the Negev Desert in Israel is Ein Avdat. I seriously loved it so much and will forever recommend this activity to anyone traveling to Israel.
9: Swim with Whale Sharks-
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the sea and are quite majestic. Swimming with them will be an experience that you will remember forever.
10: Rio Celeste Waterfall in Costa Rica-
Rio Celeste waterfall is the most beautiful turquoise color. There is a short walk through the rainforest to get to the waterfall. I recommend booking a tour because the tour will also take you to a sloth sanctuary. The sanctuary is set in their natural habitat so you will have to view the sloths with binoculars because they are high up sleeping in the trees.
11: Complete Canyoneering in the Philippines-
Canyoneering is a popular outdoor thirty-minute adventure. Tourists travel by climbing, jumping, and swimming down creeks and streams within the canyon. You will reach Kawasan Falls at the end of the hike. I completed Canyoneering in Cebu, Philippines in June of 2017. This activity is for you if you love the adrenaline rush.
12: Parasailing-
Admire the views of the ocean from a parasail anywhere in the Caribbean.
13: Sea Bob Snorkeling-
Sea bob snorkeling is a fun activity because you do not have much to do other than take in the views. The sea bob will hold you up and all you have to do is press a button. We saw a wild sea turtle, tropical fish, and an abandoned shipwreck at Mango Halto in Aruba.
14: Notre Dame in Paris-
Notre Dame has stood as a symbol of French religious and cultural identity. Tragically, Notre Dame suffered a devastating fire on April 15, 2019, causing extensive damage to its roof. The building is currently being rebuilt.
15: Swim with Dolphins-
Dolphins are one of the smartest creatures in the sea and swimming with them will be the time of your life. I even got to kiss a dolphin at Coral World Ocean Park in Saint Thomas.
16: Wrap a Snake Around My Neck-
Snakes are super creepy and my least favorite animal. I would never have one as a pet. I was able to hold one in Bali when I went back in 2019 and when I was a child at one of my birthday parties.
17: Climb a Volcano-
We woke up in the middle of the night to hike up one of the world’s most beautiful volcanos in Bali, Mount Batur. Hiking in pitch black was scary, but the flashlights and our tour guide helped us navigate the way. We got to the top of the mountain at sunrise and were pleasantly surprised by the stunning views. We even got to enjoy coffee at the top of the volcano!
18: Visit the Infamous Garden at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas-
The Bellagio Hotel is most famous for its beautiful, indoor garden and spectacular fountain display. Almost every piece at this indoor display at the Bellagio Hotel is made out of roses. They have four seasonal displays throughout the year. I went to the Christmas display in 2020 and the Chinese New Year display in 2017.
19: Goat Yoga-
Goat yoga is an interactive experience with…you guessed it… goats. The goats will jump on your back as you move from pose to pose in your calming yoga session. You even get to feed the baby goats.
20: Swim in a Cave-
Tom and I got to swim in a cave at Scape Park in Punta Cana and it was slightly chilly. The color was so blue and unique. It will be an experience that I will remember forever.
