Hey, guys! I just recently got back from VidCon Europe in Amsterdam
and I'm planning a little trip to London, and I'm planning my very first time ever in Italy very soon
And this got me thinking about my travel bucket list.
I've made a lot of little unofficial lists, I guess, over the years, of the places that I wanted to go,
but mostly I've just kind of kept it all up in my head.
But I thought this would make a really fun video, and also just kind of something I can come back and reference
in a few years, and just sort of check off each box as I hopefully accomplish them.
This is in no way an exhaustive list of all the places that I hope I'm going to be able to go in my lifetime,
and if something comes up where I get an opportunity or if I find a budget flight to some other place other than these places
and I do that first, then you know...that's cool with me. Basically I just kind of want to travel anywhere and everywhere.
But these are just the places in particular that I really, really want someday to be able to say that I've been to.
The very first one on the list has to be Germany. This is one that I've been wanting to visit since before I ever went to Europe.
My very first European experience was in Barcelona, and then I moved to England,
and this whole time I was just saying: the second I get a chance to go to Germany, I'm gonna go
And it just still hasn't happened unfortunately.
There's a lot of reasons probably why I want to go to Germany. Maybe, I guess, the top one is that
you might have guessed from my last name, Heckler, I do actually have German heritage.
It's been several generations, so my family hasn't spoken German for several generations,
so it's not like it's that close, and I don't really have close, close ties to anyone in the country or anything like that
But... I mean, there's always that little, little part of your identity that you can't quite shake, and you just kind of...
I just feel like I really should visit Germany someday.
In terms of where, I am not that picky. Berlin would be amazing. I've heard so many wonderful things about Berlin.
Munich, Dresden... There are so many places. I have friends from all over Germany,
and I have tons of other friends who have visited different places.
Basically any opportunity I get to go anywhere within Germany, I'm going to be a happy girl.
The next place would have to be Japan, and again I'm not really that picky on where in Japan I would want to explore.
I just find the culture quite fascinating.
I don't speak Japanese, I don't really have any personal ties with the country,
except my violin instructor for several, several years was Japanese, and she...
Her house was kind of amazing. You kind of felt like you were stepping into...
Japan, I guess. Like, a house in Japan. Everything was very green, tons of plants,
she had tons of things all over the walls and everything that were just...based on her culture
and it was very fascinating. So, even though I don't have any close personal ties,
it did make me very curious and it did make me really want to actually go there and experience it for myself.
So of course Tokyo, you have to go to Tokyo if you go to Japan
Kyoto looks absolutely beautiful
Again, not picky, I just really would love to spend a week or two just exploring all over.
Next, I have never been anywhere in South America before, so that's kind of just a very general bucket list.
I would really, really love to go to that continent.
More specifically, I think it would be amazing to visit Machu Picchu in Peru, and I've also always been very curious about Buenos Aires in Argentina.
I don't really know why I'm so curious. I think it might have been when I was doing my undergraduate degree,
we had a study abroad opportunity, for us who were studying Spanish,
to apply for a semester in a Buenos Aires university that had some sort of connection with ours. They had some sort of deal
And I didn't do it. I don't remember why
I think it conflicted with something else that I had that semester, or maybe it was too expensive
I don't really remember. But ever since then, I think it's just kind of been in the back of my mind
I've just kind of really wanted to visit there and to be able to experience that
because I did miss that one opportunity.
And the reason I want to go to Machu Picchu, other than the fact that, of course, it's very famous,
is I watched some vloggers when they went there, I think... sometime last year?
And it was a big group of vloggers and they were all vlogging from it, so I watched all their different videos
And it made me so fascinated with this. I'd never really seen that much actual live footage of this place,
and it seemed absolutely stunning.
Moving a little further north, I would love to go back to Mexico.
I have seen a couple places in Mexico, but they were both kind of on the border because it was during a sort of Texas vacation that my family was doing
And then we dipped in and saw a couple places, but I've never actually been to Mexico City or any place...
Any Mexican beaches or anything like that, any places further into actual Mexico.
Obviously those couple of places were only a small part of Mexico, so I would love to go
to basically any Mexican beach, and I would really love to see Mexico City.
Now, these aren't in any particular order, but if I did have to pick one that I would say is just kind of the ultimate bucket list travel place
it would have to be New Zealand.
You guys who have watched me for a while probably have already guessed why it is that I want to go to New Zealand,
and it is 100% Lord of the Rings. I am unashamed.
I just want to see every single place that they filmed any Lord of the Rings scene EVER.
Even if I have to take a helicopter, which I don't mind. I'm not scared of helicopters.
And of course, there's tons of actual New Zealand sights to see as well and that aren't related to my very favorite series ever
So I would just love to do a vacation where I can explore that. I've never seen that part of the world
I would love to also see Australia, but I'm going to stay on topic with the New Zealand part being my bucket list item.
And I would just love to explore it and to see that side of the world.
Another place I would really love to see is India.
Once again, I'm not going to get super specific because I don't really have a preference on what part I want to see.
I think the main reason I really would love to see basically any place in this country
is because I know it is so, so different culturally from everything that I've ever experienced.
Just from watching vlogs that I've seen of people who have visited, as well as documentaries and everything else
I know that this is just such a huge part of the world and where a lot of people in the world live
And yet it's something that I feel like no vlog and no video is ever going to quite give you the sensation of actually visiting the place.
So I would love sometime to be able to get the opportunity to go and to actually experience it for myself.
I also hope that someday I will get the opportunity to visit the pyramids in Egypt.
This is probably pretty self-explanatory, considering it's one of the greatest monuments and the greatest landmarks that there is in the entire world, basically.
It's one of those things you read about, you can watch a bunch of documentaries, you can see a ton of pictures, and yet
there's just something that you just know you're missing, that you can't get unless you actually go and visit it for yourself.
I'm a little bit of a nerd for anything that's really old, which is why I love castles and all that stuff you can find here in Europe.
I love just seeing things that were built and were created so long ago, because it kind of transports you back even more than anything else does.
You can go to as many museums as you want and see as many artifacts behind glass as you want,
but there's just something about actually seeing something just so grand and beautifully done in front of you
that...it's just...nothing can compare, really.
Changing styles a little bit, I would also love to go to Hawaii.
This is sort of the "dream destination" for honeymooners or for an anniversary or something
and I know that it's...it's a little bit cliché, I think, at this point.
But, honestly, it has some beautiful beaches, from what I've seen in videos and documentaries and pictures,
and honestly, there's a reason why it's cliché, and there's a reason why it is so talked about. Because it looks really, really amazing.
Not everything that's widely talked about has to be overrated.
So even though normally my style of vacation is not lying on a beach, someday I really just want to have a lazy vacation and go to Hawaii
and enjoy myself and find out for myself if it's overrated.
I feel like this list is getting longer and longer, so I'm just going to wrap it up with just one final place that I have to put on my bucket list
And that is Quebec.
I've been to a few different places in Canada, but they're all mainly English speaking
and Quebec is kind of its own little place, I think
The culture is a little bit different, the style is a little bit different, I feel like, of architecture, and of just living in general
And there's the obvious difference that it's mainly French, rather than English
My parents went a few years ago, and they sent me pictures, and this was before I even spoke French and before I'd ever even visited France,
and I already thought it was amazing. And now that I actually am learning French and am nearly fluent in French
and, of course, I've immersed myself in SO much more French culture,
now Quebec seems even more interesting to me, because it's very tied to French culture,
because it's been more heavily influenced by France.
And it also -- supposedly, I have heard -- feels European to the rest of North America
So now that I've actually lived in Europe for some time and I've experienced it a little more,
I kind of want to go and see what I think, as a North American who now kind of knows what it feels like to live in Europe.
And, of course, the better I get at French, the more I would love to immerse myself in the Quebec accent, because it is so fascinating
and it is so different from the one in France.
I'm not really sure how much you can hear the differences when you don't speak French,
because I could only tell little pieces and bits when I was learning French,
but now that I'm actually competent in French, I can hear such a huge difference, and it's so fascinating.
So yes, multiple reasons why Quebec has just GOT to be on this list.
That's where I'm going to stop for now because, again, I could go on for ages and ages,
but these are just the places that, I think...if I had to choose a few, then these would be the ones that I hope I'm someday able to visit.
Let me know in the comments what places are on YOUR travel bucket list, or if you're a vlogger and you want to make a video about it
then go for it and send me a link on Twitter.
I'm really excited to see the places you guys put on your bucket list, although it may just remind me of places that I've forgotten to put on mine, so...
Yeah, this list is by no means actually exhaustive or final.
Anyway, thank you guys all so much for watching, and I will see you soon in another video
