Turn your Bucket List into a Reality
How long have you been dreaming of visiting one of your bucket list destinations? How many nights have you spent awake picturing yourself hiking Machu Picchu in Peru, touring the colosseum in Rome, discovering the Amazon river, eating pizza in Naples, drinking wine under the Eiffel tour, seeing the colors of Morocco or soaring over Cappadocia in a hot air balloon in Turkey? I can go on and on. Time goes by so fast, and before we know it, our bucket list gets longer and longer, yet somehow only remains a dream.
We are reinventing the wheel of what a bucket list means- shouting as loud as we can that it’s time to do the things you have always dreamed of. Or maybe it’s time to venture out into the unknown where you realize what you have been missing all along. Keep reading to discover why it’s time to say YES and live your life the way you have always wanted.
A memory lasts a lifetime
Traveling has always been in my blood. It’s the one thing I can buy that always makes sense. It’s something that I can keep forever. Still to this day I hear a song, smell a perfume, or see a picture and it brings me RIGHT back to the exact moment I had traveling. I get to relive this experience forever- it’s mine, and will always be unique to me.
I still remember the year I spent Christmas in Italy- I remember the chills I got when the choir sang Christmas carols in the Plaza in Reggio Emilia, the smell of the mulled wine in the Christmas market, the wind in my hair as I soaked in the beauty of Lake Como, the way the church bells rang as I admired the elaborate Christmas decorations and lights around Florence. I still remember this trip every time I put on my favorite pair of handmade earrings I bought from a woman in the market and the smile her two children gave me as they said “grazie”.
My point is, there is nothing you can buy that sticks with you the same way. We can think of a thousand excuses why we shouldn’t take the trip (it’s too expensive, it’s not the right time, maybe next year), but what about all of the material items we buy daily that we don’t need and probably won’t remember? What if all of those items could become your dream vacation? What if you could keep it forever?
You only live once
I know, YOLO. It’s so cliché right? But it’s also very true. It’s never too late to start doing everything you have always wanted to. We have trippers from all different stages of life, backgrounds, and financial situations. The most beautiful thing is seeing this diverse group of individuals come together, sharing one very important thing in common- they are all here to celebrate life, live a new experience, and see the rest of this amazing world we live in.
So go ahead, take the risk! Say yes now. All you have to do is decide you are ready, and we will take care of all of the planning, ensuring you the most magical “YOLO” experience.
Get inspired
One of the most amazing things about traveling is that you never know the way it will change or re-route your life. Perhaps that dream destination on your bucket list is the place that opens your eyes to new possibilities. Has something great ever happened to you and it was all because of that one decision you made? Maybe one morning you were going to go to Starbucks, but then decided to try the new local coffee shop that just opened up by your house. While sipping your coffee, you strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to you after accidentally dropping your spoon on the floor. Next thing you know, they are your new best friend, partner or employer. You never would have met this person had you done your same ol’ routine as always. The same thing can happen when you travel. What if you finally take that trip to Italy that you have always dreamed of, and end up discovering a whole new field that you want to work in? Many of our trippers end up meeting so many amazing people, getting out of their comfort zone, and feeling totally inspired to transform their lives.
Ready?
So go ahead, go write out your bucket list. Look at it everyday and start making it a reality. But don’t forget to leave several open spots for “places I never knew I wanted to go” and allow those places to fulfill your dreams just as much as these common destinations. A bucket list destination doesn’t have to be a touristy or well-known place- and that’s the beauty of a Mystery Trip. We understand that everyone has a different idea of what a bucket list is. That's why we carefully get to know you and match you with the perfect trip to satisfy the trip you’re craving. We embrace the common destinations as well as the unknown. We open our minds to other cultures, food, people and lifestyles, and see the beauty in everything and every place. Are you ready to reinvent the idea of a bucket list?
