Travel Bucket List for 2015

2014 was likely the most travel-filled year of my life, and my hope is that 2015 will top it by a long shot. Some of these trips are already in the works, while others are things of my daydreams. This list is likely to get longer by the day, but here's a beginning draft.

DISNEY WORLD
Oddly enough, when I was young I never desired to visit Disney World. Now that I'm in my twenties I can't think of anything that sounds more fun. So, my ultimate travel buddy Christie and I are headed there in just a few months time! Harry Potter World, we're comin' for ya!

CAMPING 
This one is more of a plan than a bucket list item, because my family camps every Summer. We have two camping trips within Oregon planned for August. Even though these trips are close to home, and places I've already been, I look forward to them so much because I get some quality time with my family away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

MEXICAN BAJA CRUISE
Cruising is 100% my favorite way to vacation. Living on a beautiful ship, surrounded by nothing but ocean, with access to any food I want 24/7? Dream come true. My family and I have taken a few cruises around Mexico in the past, and we're planning another one come Spring.

REDWOODS, CA
I can't think of anything better than wandering through The Redwoods with my best friend. The park is only a six hour drive from my home, and we have been planning an epic road trip for a while now. The sooner the better!

LEAVENWORTH, WA
Leavenworth is an absolutely ideal Winter destination in my opinion. It is a quaint city modeled after a Bavarian village. I had no idea that a place so adorable was only four hours from me. With the way the weather is looking these days, I might have to wait until next Winter to visit when the snow is falling, but it's definitely on my 2015 list.

ANTELOPE CANYON, AZ
Have you guys seen photos of this place? I finally made it to the Grand Canyon last year, and now I have another Arizona destination on my bucket list. Good thing I love that dry heat. ;)

LAS VEGAS
I've been to Vegas twice before, once for my 21st birthday, and once for funsies. I adore it. I don't need much more than sunshine and swimming pools to enjoy a vacation, everything else Vegas has to offer it just bonus for me. In October my grandma turns 80 and my brother's girlfriend turns 21, so we might even be hitting Vegas twice in one month. We'll see!

ALASKA
(I can't type Alaska without hearing Sandra Bullock's voice say Alaskaaa.) Alaska is on my ultimate bucket list. I'm hoping to get my two adventure partners Amy and Marissa to take a Summertime trip with me! Give me all of the mountains and wildlife!

EUROPE
If you know me even a little bit, you know that Europe is my dream. I've been reading about and planning a European getaway for quite some time now. The list of places I want to see within Europe is too long to type, but I'd love to make it to even one of them at some point this year.

SOUTH AFRICA
This is one of those daydream trips. I don't know how I would even begin to make this one happen, or who would be willing to take the billion hour flight with me, but going on safari in South Africa is seriously what my dreams are made of.

NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, BALI
While we're talking about dream trips, this is kind of the ultimate trifecta for me. I'm dying to see all three of these places, and since they're relatively close to one another (and very far away from me), I'd love to do it in one huge extended trip.

That's it for now! Hopefully I'll be checking some off and adding more very soon.
