10 Popular Bucket List Items

Here are 10 popular bucket list items. Bucket lists are a very personal thing and no two people have the exact same goals. However there are some things that are highly popular and end up on many peoples bucket lists. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Majority of this list is also on my own bucket list.

So what makes them so popular? Well they are very awesome things to see and do. Plus none of them are particularly easy. So once you have managed to do one you’ll most likely have a great sense of achievement.

If you are new to creating a bucket list and want some inspirations, why not start by looking at this list and see if any of them gives you some inspiration. There are thousands and thousands of things to do, see and achieve that you can add to your own bucket list. But here are 10 of some of the most popular bucket list items.

See the Northern Lights

Northern Lights, also known as Auroras, often feature near the top of peoples lists. There are now many tours available to go hunting for the Northern Lights but the right conditions are needed. Some of the best places to see them are Iceland, Finland, Norway, Alaska, Sweden and Greenland.

Learn Another Language

Being fluent in another language is a very popular bucket list goal. My own for example is to be able to speak Spanish fluently. If a new language takes your fancy why not try one of the free apps such as Duolingo to help you or try a local class. Keeping consistent with your learning is key.

Visit Every Continent

Now this is a huge goal and for those of us who love travel, it is an item high on our list. To have been able to visit each continent is a large achievement. Is this something you would add to your list?

Go on Safari

This is an every popular bucket list item. Going on an African Safari is something that you will never forget and you get to experience the wilderness first hand. There are plenty of tours in various countries to choose from. Do your research beforehand and get ready to see the beauty of it all.

Run a Marathon

A very demanding personal and physical challenge. Running a marathon is not for the faint hearted and takes a lot, and I mean a lot of training. Cities all over the world host marathons so if you have achieved one why not challenge yourself to complete others in various countries?

Make a Million

Making a million has always been hugely popular and gives a long term goal for people to work towards. It also gives a sense of financial freedom. Many people aim for a million but find they don’t actually need as much to be able to achieve what they want to in life. It’s just a good, solid number to aim for.

Ride in a Hot Air Balloon

Flying through the air whilst sat in a giant basket might not be everyone’s cup of tea but for many people it’s an adventure they would love to experience. Whether you are flying over the British countryside or the wonderful views in Cappadocia, the event will be magical.

Write a Book

One for the author in all of us. Have a whole book written and maybe even published is a lifetime achievement for many of us. What would you write? A fiction novel, adventure, crime thriller? Or maybe an autobiography or a self help book?

Skydive

Now as someone who hates heights this is not an item on my own list but I know it is very popular with many other people. The adrenaline junkies and daredevils among us love an extreme sports. So why not try our one of the most extreme?

See the Pyramids of Giza

The oldest of the ancient seven wonders of the world. A man made building but also a complete mystery. You can spend time viewing the pyramids from both the outside but also take a tour inside the pyramids.
