Bucket List Travel: The Top 50 Places In The World

According to a new survey, Bali is the top bucket list destination in the world.Getty

The website surveyed its 1.5 million-strong social audience in order to determine the best bucket list places around the world. According to Sarah Clayton-Lea, head of content with Big 7 Travel, this is the first time the site has assembled this list. "Bucket list travel was a trend that popped up again and again in previous surveys when asking our readers what sort of travel content they most enjoyed consuming," says Clayton-Lea. "So, our curiosity got the better of us and we wanted to know which destinations people are dreaming of for 2019/2020."

The results of the world’s top 50 bucket list destinations include some of the most beautiful places on earth. "White sandy beaches are still a must-visit for many, with vibrant cities also making an appearance on a lot of people’s bucket lists," says Clayton-Lea. Countries with naturally beautiful scenery and world-famous landmarks came out on top: 22% of the destinations on the list have white sandy beaches, while 52% are iconic cities.

In the study, Big 7 Travel found that people were also more likely to add a destination to their list if they had seen it on social media, and 33% of people research vacation destinations on their Instagram feed. "With over one-third of our readers saying they look to Instagram for travel inspiration, it makes sense that cities with colorful neighborhoods (such as Cape Town’s Bo Kaap) made the cut," says Clayton-Lea.

Bali topped the list of the 50 most popular bucket list destination on earth, but there were also some unexpected picks. "The top 10 list has a lot of the expected dream destinations, but there are a few surprises on the list: Paro Valley in Bhutan, for example, or Virunga National Park in the Congo," says Clayton-Lea. "I think this shows a great appetite for a need to get off the grid and can only assume that social media (and Netflix, in the case of Virunga!) is responsible for spreading the word of these amazing places."

An interesting factoid uncovered in the study: Most people have an average bucket list of just 11 places, with the hope of visiting seven of those locations during their lifetime. Read on for the top 50 bucket list destinations in the world and what Big 7 Travel had to say about each one.

1. Bali, Indonesia: "You’ll find beaches, volcanoes, Komodo dragons and jungles sheltering elephants, orangutans and tigers. Basically, it’s paradise. It’s likely you’ve seen an image of Bali on social media at least once in the past seven days, as it’s such a popular bucket list destination for 2019."

2. New Orleans: "The lively city known for its street music, festive vibe and a melting pot of French, African and American cultures is well worth the trip. NOLA is a city packed with adventures at every turn and should be on everyone’s must-visit list."

3. Kerry, Ireland:" All the way west in Ireland is one of the country’s most scenic counties. Kerry’s mountains, lakes and coasts are postcard-perfect, and that’s before you add in Killarney National Park. The unique small towns such as Dingle add to its charm."

El Badi Palace in the Marrakesh medina.Getty

4. Marrakesh, Morocco: "This ancient walled city is home to mosques, palaces and lush gardens. It’s known as The Red City thanks to the color of the brick walls surrounding the city. The medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre."

5. Sydney: "Sydney is known around the world as one of the greatest and most iconic cities on the planet. Amazing things to do aren’t hard to find; the city has gorgeous beaches, great cafes and world-class entertainment on offer wherever you look."

8. Cape Town, South Africa: "Cape Town is a dream location to visit: endless natural beauty and clifftop views, pastel pink neighborhoods and turquoise waters."

9. Dubai, U.A.E.: "The high-flying city of the U.A.E, Dubai is one of the most glamorous destinations you’ll ever visit, and is particularly popular with Big 7 Travel readers."

10. Bora Bora, French Polynesia: "Bora Bora is Tahiti's most famous island. How do overwater bungalows and underwater adventures sound to you? To us, it’s everything we could want from a bucket list destination."

11. New York: "New York is one of America’s most exciting states. With charming upstate scenery, world-class cuisine and culture and more things to do than you could fit in one lifetime. The city’s five boroughs all have special features; it’s almost impossible to narrow it down"

12. Dubrovnik, Croatia: "As George Bernard Shaw once said, 'Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik.' With its winding streets, cliffside beach bars and UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Old Town, it’s no wonder Dubrovnik is such a popular spot."

Carlton hill in Edinburgh, Scotland.Getty

13. Edinburgh, Scotland: "With the historic Edinburgh castle looming over the city, culture in spades and wonderfully friendly locals, this is one of the world’s greatest city breaks."

14. Rome, Italy: "Whether it’s your first time in Rome or your 50th, the best thing about this city is that you’ll always discover something new each time you stroll the scenic streets."

15. Paro Valley, Bhutan: Paro Valley is known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes. Tucked between China and India, Bhutan is a mysterious country that prides itself on sustainable tourism. You’ll find Paro Taktsang here, a Himalayan Buddhist sacred site."

16. Jaipur, India: "Jaipur is known as the ‘Pink City’ for its pale terracotta buildings. This was originally done to impress the visiting Prince Albert during his 1876 tour of India by order of the Maharaja (Sawai Ram Singh). Even today, it’s illegal to paint buildings any other color."

17. Waikato, New Zealand: "Waikato, a region in New Zealand’s North Island, is home to massive underground caves, lush rainforest and the buzzy city of Hamilton. But the area’s main attraction? A Middle-earth adventure on the film set of Lord of the Rings. Hobbiton Movie Set still has the original Hobbit holes from the making of the films."

18. Havana, Cuba: "Cuba’s capital is almost 500 years old and a riot of color. Brightly painted buildings and vintage cars make Havana a photogenic dream."

21. Vancouver, Canada: "Vancouver is surrounded by water yet close to the mountains and has world-class art, restaurants and heaps of other attractions to keep you entertained."

22. Los Angeles: "In a city with year-round sunshine, glam bars, beaches and hikes, there are endless incredible experiences to enjoy in Los Angeles. It’s no wonder there are almost 5O million ‘LA’ hashtags on Insta."

Beaches with volcanic black or red sand and clear blue waters make this an ideal holiday spot. With its famous Santorini sunsets, it’s no wonder that it’s one of the most popular bucket list destinations."

25. Moscow, Russia: "Russia’s cosmopolitan capital, Moscow is a beautiful destination to visit in any season. Colorful domes and bell chimes ring out from over 600 churches in the city, and the sense of history is immense. Culture lovers will be impressed with the museums and ballet."

“I learned a lot about loads of things from George and I actually considered him a friend. Whereas I didn't really know much about Bob, George could recite every syllable of everything that Bob had ever written. I don't know if Jeff held Bob in that kind of high esteem, but I certainly know he admired and respected him greatly. During the second album we were together every day for six weeks. During that whole period, the longest I ever heard Bob speak to me was on the last day. I was in the kitchen and heard somebody calling my name: ‘Richard, Richard! Hey man, it's been great working with you. We've got to do it again, y'know.’ That was the most he said to me throughout the entire six weeks. [...] I engineered all of the second album [Traveling Wilburys Vol 3], which was done without Roy Orbison. I got to meet Roy during the process of finishing the first one and we worked on some of the tracks for [his 1989 comeback album] Mystery Girl. That was just incredible. So was working on albums with Duane Eddy and Del Shannon. As for Tom, I didn't meet him until we started the second Wilburys album and evidently I didn't annoy him. He really wanted Jeff to be his co-producer, and by then Jeff and I were kind of a package deal, working well together.” - Richard Dodd (engineer), Sound on Sound, February 2014 “That was a lot of fun. They’d have the tracks already cut, so I would go in there and put on parts for them and they would double everything that I did. So sometimes I’d put anywhere from 10 to 12 saxophones on a song and they would double everything. One time they had me sit on a toilet and play my soprano sax out into the hallway and the microphone would be down at the end of the hall. I thought they were joking with me, when they told me to go sit on the toilet and play my soprano. [There was] just crazy stuff like that.” - Jim Horn, Pop Dose, April 19, 2013 (x)

Something heart breaking I think

We know that Lucien, molly and Kingsley all one had the body of Lucien at one point but I looking through Lucien’s back story and it had that his brother had died and their parents went to a witch to bring back their cash cow son but it turned him into a Marionette doll really and his smile was slowly turning creepy and wrong same with his voice and Elric's body wasn't save from Decomposing so his siblings watched their brother decomposing infornt of them. That is traumatizing for childern who already getting hurt because of their money hungry parents.

So Lucien has a fear of puppets and dolls so what if molly and Kingsley also had it but don't know where it is from.

Mighty Nein for sure don't know so now Kingsley is dealing with the fear of the puppets.

*Also there is the link to the wiki where I found this out

I have no idea if this is a controversial opinion or not, but I've heald this in since like 2017.

Ahsoka SHOULD'VE DIED IN REBELS. there I said it. I've been saying this for years but I'll say it again, and this time on the internet.

Ahsoka was my favorite character growing up, I loved her dearly, I thought she was so cool. Whenever I played lightsabers with my friends/family I'd try to hold my sticks in a reversed grip because I thought she was cool. I loved her character arc and literally wrote essays about her in school. All that is to say, I'm not anti-Ahsoka, if anything I'm probably one of her biggest fans.

it is because I am such a fan of her that I believe she should've died. It was poetic, in a sense, her staying to fight and to die to Anakin. "I won't leave you, not this time" was a heart-wrenching line. It showed how much she'd changed and how much she'd stayed the same since she left the order (keep in mind this was before they went back and finished clone wars and I have aggressively mixed feelings about that lol). The fight was a showcase of how different they were form the people they used to be. Ahsoka with a weight of grief on her shoulders, she was slower, calmer than she'd ever been, because she'd learned to hide, learned to plan. She was fundamentally still her but at the same time starkly different. The same to Anakin, he'd once force-choaked a guy for her, he'd done impossible things, defied the order and turned violent to save her. Now here he is with a familiar violence, and he's turning it onto the person he used to use it to protect. Anakin is dead, and Darth Vader killed him.

Yet at the same time, we see how Ahsoka blamed herself. when she realized who Vader was, when she was so alone for so long, she seemed, to me, to have spent a lot of time wondering what could've been if she'd just stayed. It's why she said she wouldn't leave him. She also sacrificed herself to protect her fellows.

this showed both a sacrafital, universal type of love, the type the Jedi are known for, unattached and layered in the idea of doing "the greatest good for the greatest number" and yet it was also a selfish act. In her own self-blame she couldn't stand the idea of leaving someone she cared so deeply for again, so she looked for both a way to punish herself, and a way to fulfill the desperate attachment she still felt.

In this way it felt immensely poetic to me. Almost shakespearean in its tragedy. It was a true moment that summarized her character, both too much and too little a Jedi, both attached and understanding of what that attachment can do. selfish and selfless.
