What Adventure Calls to Your Soul

Everyone has places they are drawn to and favorites on their bucket list to check off. Whether it’s the unique experience, cultural exploration, satisfying your palette with culinary discoveries, or just relaxing and detoxing from your fast–paced daily life, travel is so much more than simply visiting places. Consider putting some of these places on that bucket list.
Alaska
There is so much to do in various parts of Alaska via land and sea, so you might want to keep coming back till you’ve seen it all. From parks to scenic highways, traversing this vast wilderness and keeping up with all sorts of activities and excursions makes your time in Alaska unforgettable. You can choose from skiing, biking, kayaking, motoring, hiking, fishing, and much more. Alaska is a naturalist paradise, where you can see incredible wildlife, such as fur seals, foxes, sea ducks, and bears, amongst others. Flora is also displayed in an array of color, depending on the time of year. 
Cuba
This fascinating country still clutches on to old world charm, yet is slowly moving into the 21st century. It’s no wonder that Cuba is another slice of the Caribbean you’ll want to ensure is on your bucket list. Whether it’s the people, culture, history, land, or cuisine, many visitors have expounded on the diversity, warmth, and energy of this magical country. Walking the cobbled streets as you work your way through the neighborhoods in Havana is one of the best ways to gather insight on everyday life.
Africa
This vast continent is so diverse in climate and culture that the amazing experiences to be had surely cannot be covered in one lifetime. South Africa’s Table Mountain is an immense structure where you can hike or take the cable car to the top, which is over 3,500 feet above sea level. Take in a 360° view of a national park, visit Cape Town, and marvel at the surrounding sea. Be dazzled by the beauty of Victoria Falls in Zambia and the natural vistas of Namibia. Explore wildlife parks covering most of Botswana, swim in a popular lake, visit with the locals in Malawi, or experience nature by traversing the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
Iceland
Just the thought of ice caves, lava tubes, open seas with spectacular whale & puffin watching, exploring ice caps, and viewing majestic waterfalls are only some of the adventures to expect if you’re eager to see Iceland. This bucket list-worthy spot has contrasting areas to discover, such as soft beaches and green fields set amongst mountain ranges. Perhaps enjoy some cheese and ice cream for a treat at a dairy farm—all of this is possible with the proper clothing and an adventurous spirit.
Australia
Go beyond the iconic cityscape of the Sydney Opera House and nearby Harbor to discover the land down under in other ways. Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts can plumb the depths of the mind-blowing Great Barrier Reef. Take in the dramatically changing landscape of impressive Uluru, more properly known as Ayers Rock. A World Heritage Area, the Daintree rainforest is another must see location where you can explore interesting species of flora and fauna. Plus, you can enjoy a guided tour of the history and aboriginal culture of this oldest tropical rainforest.
