Are you a travel lover? Then each of these points should be on your bucket list by now! 

Buying Your Own Property

A big part of the joy of traveling is discovering and experiencing new places. However, another big part is truly getting to know a city, town or country like a local. You do this by learning the language, and finding where serves the best coffee. So, how better to do this than by owning your own property abroad. Not only can it help you truly get to absorb a favorite place, but it can also have investment potential. Plus, when not there, you can make money by renting the place out! Convincing yourself that you want a property won’t be hard! However, deciding where might be much harder! There is a lot to think about, so you will need to decide what your priorities are. Do you really want to make some good money off your place? Then buy near a big tourist attraction city, like Venice. Alternatively, reliable sunshine might be important to you. In this, consider Properties in the Dominican Republic or another Caribbean island.

Renting A Villa With Your Girlfriends

Hotels and hostels can be great fun for travel. However, there is something especially wonderful about accommodation that allows for your own independence. From having your own kitchen to a private pool, be sure to one day rent a villa with your girlfriends! You’ll make memories to last a lifetime. You could even rent a villa in a new country once a year, and make it an annual tradition!

Be a Solo Traveler 

Even if you adore traveling with friends, family or loved ones, you should still try a trip alone. It doesn’t have to be far, or for a long period of time. However, the experience of traveling solo is a unique one. It has exciting challenges, like navigating a new transport system to find your hotel! It also has a unique sense of freedom. You can decide exactly what you see, how you see it and when. This is because you have no partner to please or fit around. Add ‘have a solo adventure’ to your travel bucket list. Perhaps an adventure for you means a long weekend away two hours drive from home. Or maybe it means a month away, a ten-hour flight from home. Scale it up or down depending on your own preference.

See One Of The Seven Wonders Of The World

These days, there are many versions of the wonders of the world. However, there was a starting point of just seven. However, the sad fact is that many of these have long been lost or destroyed. Happily, however, there are some modern alternatives. So, the Greek statue that used to stand at the entrance of Rhodes harbor survived only 54 years back in 280BC. However, these days you could do and see the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, South America. Alternatively, you could tick off one of the seven wonders of the middle ages. These include landmarks like Stonehenge in England, and The Great Wall of China. If ticking just one of these off isn’t enough, how about making it an ambition to see every single one!?
