15 Things That Definitely Need To Be On Your Bucket List ASAP

Did someone ever mention a vacation they had, and you thought, “Wow, I really should do that!” but you never actually sat down and put all these plans on paper? Whether you have a bucket list or are just mow starting to think of everything you want to do in your, here are fifteen incredibly wonderful things that you really need to add to your list. Check out these things that need to be on your bucket list!

1. Travel across the country.

Ever wonder what America looks like from sea to shining sea? Hit the open road and see for yourself. After all, this land is your land, and there is just so much out there to explore if you’ve got a couple of weeks on your hands.

2. Sleep in an igloo.

As if regular camping wasn’t enough, it takes only the most adventurous person to sleep out in a true Alaskan shelter. This isn’t for everyone, but if you never thought about it putting this on your bucket list—you’re welcome.

3. Visit the Aztec ruins.

Move over, National Treasure. We’re moving on to bigger and better things. It doesn’t matter whether you’re into history or not. Anyone who stands at the base of those ancient South American structures has to marvel at the sight left by this long-gone civilization.

4. Watch the Chincoteague Pony Swim.

A beautiful sight of 200 Chincoteague ponies crossing over the Assateague Cannel to the east side of Chincoteague Island. For those who absolutely adore horses or just appreciate the beauty of the wild, this is for you.

5. Join a flash mob.

And if you can’t find one—start one. You’ll have a blast.

6. Write a book.

Whether you deny it or not, you have a story inside of you that is ready to be told. The question is, are you willing to make yourself vulnerable enough to tell it? It can be fiction or nonfiction, or even your autobiography. And don’t make the excuse that you can’t write. There are plenty of ghostwriters out there.

7. Take a sleigh ride in the wintertime.

This brings to life the classic images of Currier and Ives paintings and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Can you hear the sleigh bells and the horses’ hooves clomping through the snow-laden streets as you nestle snugly under patchwork quilts? I can, too. This is a very traditional must. Check out these things that need to be on your bucket list.

8. Be in a movie

Really—you can be! It’s not as hard as you think. All you have to do is do a Google search for movies offering roles for extras near you and sign up. If you don’t mind long waiting periods and extensive filming days, this is definitely an opportunity that you don’t want to pass up. Check out these things that need to be on your bucket list.

9. Attend mermaid training.

Stay with me. Yes, this is a real thing. All across the country, you can put on some fins and get a real ab workout all the while dressed like a mermaid. Perfect way to make your childhood dreams a reality.

10. Watch the Iditarod.

Most of us have probably seen the Disney movie, Balto. You know, the one about the dogs sledding across Alaska from Nome to Anchorage to get diphtheria medicine to save the sick children? Well, every year, a race is held in Alaska in commemoration of this event. The race goes on for several days, but feel free to stay for as long or as little as you like.

11. See the Northern lights.

This is unspeakable, powerful beauty that anyone can appreciate. You may have noticed that they’re mentioned in almost every Christmas movie imaginable. It’s about time you saw them with your own eyes. Check out these things that need to be on your bucket list.

13. Go to a drive-in movie.

You see things like this in old movies, where couples drive up in beat-up pickup trucks and spend the evening together in front of an outdoor screen. Your parents have probably talked about them once in a while. They still exist, but they’re just harder to find. Tack this on your bucket list and enjoy an evening of this blast from the past.

14. Ride in a hot air balloon.

Experience one of the earliest forms of air travel. Soar over the countryside and imagine what it may have felt like for generations past to experience flight for maybe the one and only time in their lives. Check out these things that need to be on your bucket list.

Hang tight and smell the salty breeze whipping through your hair. An exhilarating escapade for all the thrill-seekers out there.
