I love the idea of visiting the Great Wall of China when it’s snowing, I bet it would look beautiful! :) Great list!
Thanks! I just think it would feel and look so enchanting.
Am with you on the seeing the great wall of china when and I’ll also like to climb it to the top and see if I can see the world below me, that would be a nice feeling but seriously please don’t do the last one please cos I still wanna read your post for a long time LOL….
Hehe I think I will survive!
I know you will but still i will beg you not to.
You dream good dreams… now make it so! :-)
Why thank you . . . . I do my very best!
The meditating and friend making in Indonesia, would that be done simultimeously?
Haha, no, most likely not! :P
:-D
Amazing list here!! These are indeed dream experiences. Will be fun to see how many you can tick off the list, and how many surprise adventures are added as an unexpected bonus! :)
Thanks! I’m sure there will be lots of added bonuses along the way, hehe !
That’s some list!
:D
Great list you have :) If you ever plan on adding South Africa to that list let me know :)
Thanks – I would love to experience Cape Town before or after my African safari ! Maybe even shark diving!
By the way, meditation is samedi in Indonesian. There once was óne word that eventually totally led me towards the heart of Indonesian spirituality: kebatinan. And maybe your wishes: orang hutan on the one side and meditation on the other side .. actually are not so far apart from each other. Because the authentic kebatinan leads you straigth into the wilderness, where the waterfal, graveyards of noble(wo)man and other gates to the spiritual realm are. Selamat jalan!
Interesting!!
I share many, many, many of these dream experiences with you! I definitely recommend the East Coast of Australia, so beautiful.
I can’t wait to tackle this list and give it my best shot! :) I also want to scuba dive while in Australia.
I was going to suggest that actually! I snorkelled in the Great Barrier Reef but I want to go back to scuba dive there. Just to snorkel there was one of the most amazing experiences, so I can’t wait to scuba dive.
The snorkeling and diving would be absolutely unreal!
Looks like a solid list to me!!
For me I would love to go canoeing in Antarctica while still possible. Closest I got was climbing Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina (magnificent!!)
Scuba diving with manta rays, anywhere.
Visiting Lapland during the aurora borealis ‘season’, no light pollution and count the stars. For the latter a sleepover in a desert would also do (-:
Enjoy planning your trips!!
I agree with one of the commenters as far as snorkelling is concerned. Scuba diving is truly immersive!
Hello – thanks! I will be sure to enjoy planning all my trips – you too by the way! Canoeing in Antarctica would be unreal.
Never.. ever give up on your dreams.. Passion creates possibilities… and from that a path to follow.
And the Great Wall of China? it is really cool… and have been there when the old snow was on the ground… a very cool sight indeed…
Thanks, Erick!
