Okay, this is it, my own travel bucket list. I will be constantly scratching things off my list and adding to it.

  • Be a camp counselor (I spent 2021, 2022 and 2023 working at summer camps, camp 2024 is loading)
  • Ride in a helicopter (I flew into and over the Grand canyon)
  • Scuba diving (I would love to do this but I am not sure I would be allowed to, would have to ask my Cardiologist first)
  • See the sunrise and sunset on the same day (Expereinced this in Fiji)
  • Road trip (This seems weird but I am not crossing it off until I do like a week long trip, I have done ones that last a few days but they weren’t much driving though, so I’m not counting it)
  • Safari in Africa (2 done in South Africa. 1 in Kruger National Park)
Grand Canyon, West Rim, 2020
  • Visit 30 countries before 30 (I’m up to 20 already! 4.5 years to go)
  • Picnic in central park (I have been to Central Park so many times yet I have never had a picnic)
  • Hot air balloon (Hot air ballooned at sunrise in Cappadocia, Turkey, 2024)
  • Visit 6 continents (5 down 1 to go. Look Antartica I would love to get to but I am not to sure that will happen)
  • Backpack Europe
  • See the grand canyon
  • Sky dive (I would love to do this but I am not sure I would be allowed to, would have to ask my Cardiologist first)
  • Have a white Christmas
  • Stay in a hostel (Well an truely done and dusted. I use Hostelworld and have stayed at over 20 hostels, across 4 countries)
  • Visit Machu Picchu
  • See a shooting star
  • Cage dive with sharks or crocs
  • See 4 of the 7 wonders of the world (2 down)
  • See it snowing (It snowed so much when I was in Toronto, I now see it snow where I live in the US)
  • Go on a cruise
  • Upload a highlights video from a trip! (check out my instagram @shalyntravelstheworld and my tiktok @shalynbester)
Being a camp counselor in 2021
Hot spring and mud pool in Fiji (March, 2023)
  • See the Northern or Southern lights
  • Visit a hot spring in a different country (Visited one in Fiji)
  • Greek island hopping (i have visited Mykonos but I want to do more!)
  • Hike a mountain ( I mean a proper few day hike up a mountain)
  • Convert a campervan (Finished and now it is up for sale)

Yes, yes I know, I still have a lot to go. This list is what is inspiring my travels. I am hoping I can cross of 1-2 things each trip!
If you guys have a bucket list already tell me what’s on it! If you don’t have one I highly recommend making a list because nothing is more satisfying then crossing things off your list and seeing what you have done!
