Bryant, Alexandrea: Bucket List

There are many things in this world that I would like to experience before I die. I am a very adventurous young lady and have many goals, there are however several things that stick out on my list. Impossible as it may seem, the top item on my bucket list it to travel to every country in the world at least once in my lifetime. To experience different cultures, ideas, and beliefs is one of the most amazing experiences one can hope to have. So far I have I have visited eleven countries, so I have a successful start on this item on my list.


Second on my list is to explore the Great Pyramids of Giza. I have been an ancient Egyptian history buff since the first time I watched “The Mummy.” It would be like a dream to actually tour the Great Pyramids, and to see firsthand the craftsmanship and work that went into creating these phenomenal structures.


Next on my personal bucket list is to walk along the Great Wall of China. I have always been fascinated with The Great Wall and the immense amount of work that was necessary to build this historical unique structure. I cannot imagine the awe one must feel when looking upon the world from atop it.


A recent dream of mine is to scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef. To discover the great extent of life that is found only here in this Reef is an experience I know will be unlike any other.


I hope to accomplish everything on my personal bucket list one day and do not plan on delaying my big dreams for one second. One day I will say, “I have traveled the world! My feet have landed in every known country on this great earth. I have investigated the Great Pyramids of Giza, I have looked out from the Great Wall of China, and I have swam with the fish of the Great Barrier Reef.”
