Well, the  sea is full of bioluminescent phytoplankton called Lingulodinium polyedrum  and the movement of the waves causes it to glow, creating a stunning phenomenon and unforgettable view. 

5. Chernobyl, Ukraine

Now, this one may not be everyones cup of tea, but, it is certainly an unforgettable experience and definitely not something you'll see everyday. For those who don't know, in 1986 a nuclear power plant exploded causing radioactive poison to fill the atmosphere. Chernobyl is now inhabitable and you can only spend limited time there in full PPE and this eerie experience isn't something many people are willing to do.

6. Auschwitz, Poland

One of the most emotional or heartbreaking tours on this list but also a MUST is the tour of Auschwitz. Located in Krakow, Auschwitz is a chilling memorial for those who were victims of the nazis. This really is a must see experience to really give some insight as to what happened all those year ago. This one can be very upsetting and distressing for visitors so be sure to take some tissues.

7. Pig Beach, Bahamas

What person wouldn't want to swim on a beautiful tropical beach with some adorable little pigs, because I know I would. Pig beach located on Big Major Cay beach in the Bahamas and is now populated by a colony of feral pigs. Pig beach is a major instagramable location that most people would dream of going to.

8. Visit every continent

Not exactly an exact location, but, travelling to at least one place in every continent is one of the main goals of a traveller. It is an amazing first step to travelling the world and exploring different cultures. The world has got so many things to offer and the best way to get a small insight to these things is to visit every continent at least once.

9. Ride a Gondola through Venice

One of the most amazing ways to view to beautiful sights of Venice is to ride a gondola. Although its just a glorified taxi, riding a gondola is a very unique experience to Italy and you can even be serenaded whilst you do so. So, if you're willing to splash out a little, a gondola ride is out definitely one for the bucket list.

10. Skydive

This ones pretty self explanatory and is on almost every bucket list you may come across, but with all good reason. Skydiving is an adrenaline pumping experience exposing you to stunning views of wherever you may be. And, to make this experience even better and more worthwhile, you can do it as a fundraiser for a charity of your choice, so why wouldn't any thrill seeker want to do this?

11. Jebel Jais Flight

Jebel Jais flight is the longest zipline in the world. travelling up to speeds of 120kph to 150kph at a height of 1680 metres, any adrenaline junkie would kill for this experience. located in Res Al Khaimah, Asia, this surreal experience really is once in a lifetime.

12. Swing at the end of the World

Last but certainly lost least on this list is the death defying swing at the end of the world. located in Ecuador, this swing stands at 8530.184 metres high and allows to to swing over the canyon below. With only a seatbelt strapping you in this terrifying experience is still pretty incredible and will allow you to see views and landscapes that not many others will of seen before, thus being number 12 on our bucket list.

Your bucket list

So, this list has given you some starting points and some must do attractions and experiences, but what else would you personally like to do. My advice is the write yourself a bucket list and try to tick off as many of these things as possible. The sense of accomplishment as well as the experience and the lessons will be completely worth it in the end. And remember, take lots of pictures and videos of everything you do!
