[…] Annette White Are you looking for Bucket List ideas? Sometimes it’s best to get inspiration from others and […]
Thanks for adding our posts to the list!
huge amount of ideas!
What a collection! Thanks for making this!
Hi Annette,
What a list of lists!
1: African Safari.
2: Bora Bora.
3: Antarctica.
3 places I need to see on my journey around the world. We’re going from Fiji to Bali, then back home, but this would’ve been a nice jump off spot for Bora Bora. Just saw a Survivor show from an old season where contenders were in Bora Bora doing Survivor type stuff. Amazing place, with such stunning water colors.
A safari is a safari, one of the neatest things you could do. The idea is so exciting, seeing wildlife in nature, not on TV, not in a zoo. Factor in the whole “in your face/outside of your tent” nature of some safaris and I find the idea beyond thrilling. Always a dream of mine.
As for the great ice mass it simply fascinates me like few places. I love hot weather and don’t care for the cold but I’d make an exception for Antarctica.
I’d add Patagonia to my list as a runner up, and could visit before or after Antarctica.
Awesome list! Thanks Annette.
Tweeting soon, and signing off from Savusavu, Fiji.
Ryan
Of your top three, I have only checked off an African Safari. It ranks as one of my favorite trips of all times because it was completely surreal being amongst all these animals in their natural habitat. I was on safari for four days and it never got old seeing hyenas cross your path, zebras protecting each other or lions hunting. Incredible!
Antartica is also on my list and I’m not one for cold weather either. But, I’d make this one exception 🙂
Huge collection of lists. So many things to do and just one life to do them all. I think I need one extra life.
Great collection. I think African Safari is an unbelievable spot for wildlife safari. Thanks for this collection.
That is some list. Well done on compiling it all. I have some amount of reading to do now. I love looking at amazing things to plan around
Haha i don’t know why but i found your title funny, and thanks for sharing the list, still long way to go for me!
This list is pretty awesome and I also have my own list and I took many of ideas from this list
Thanks Samarth!
Thanks for including the TravelAge West bucket list on this list of bucket lists! It was fun to write and comes from first-hand experience among our editors. Great job finding them all.

Wow! That’s a lot of bucket lists. I’ve just created the ultimate ‘books to read before you die’ list on Medium. Anyone want to read some of these with me?
Great books to read list! I will admit that I have only read a couple on that list 🙁
Oh my gosh this is so awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Great Collection Annette! Would love it if you would consider adding my own bucket list!

Thanks!
Shane
[…] I said I would do these things, so now I feel like I have to! If you need inspiration, check out this blog that gives a list of 250 bucket […]
Wow! These are a handful of a bucket list. I never thought of making a list for myself and after seeing this, I am thinking of making one for myself.
Great list! I’m also thinking of doing a similar list. I think this is very useful and it’s interesting to follow this list 🙂
How many things I have to complete before dying OMG
Awesome Ideas! I had just graduated from University and I have decided to have a lot of adventures in my life. My dad had always taught me to make memories while I’m still young so I would have a lot of memories stored to reminisce when I get old, sad, and a bit lonely.
Your dad is a smart man 🙂
Hey Anette,
Please renew the links! A lot of them are outdated;)
Thanks for the heads up! Will do.
Hey Annette,
https://inspirationfeed.com/bucket-list-ideas/
You should put this on the list too.
Wow! This is a huge bucketlist of items to do and see!
If I only get 5% of your amazing list done, I will die happy:)
