Bucket List for an Adventurer

Finbar O’Neill

For those who love to spice up their travel trips by stepping out of the typical wide-eyed tourist shoes and trying something thrilling and unique on their adventures would

appreciate this bucket list

1. The Northern Lights

The trouble with with the cosmic light show is its inaccessibility

The best displays are in the farthest, coldest spots and perhaps

that is part of the charm

The Aurora is at its brightest on the Álftanes Peninsula, just

outside Reykjavík and of course, the best time of the year is during

the Winter Solstice

2. Penguin Colony

How often are we hooked to shows showing penguins in their natural

habitat?

These waddling birds in little tuxedos are fascinating to observe

Even more so when you brave the journey to the Atlantic Peninsula, through the stormy Drake Passage and on the way, whales, seals and other seabirds can be sighted too

3. Mexican Hat

Be engulfed in the comfortable silence offered by the serene drive

through the Mexican Hat, Utah

Experience an unique kind of peace while cruising past the San

Juan river and watch the great natural rock shaped like a hat as

you check out this census-designated place

4. Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Speaking of driving, it is not always necessary to leave the big

city behind. Sometimes the glitz of a big city is precisely the kind of

rush you need

Speed is undoubtedly a popular adrenaline source and what better

way to get your dosage from speeding on a world-class track in

a flaming Ferrari F430 GT

5. Fly-Fishing

Finally, not every escapade needs to be exhausting or thrilling

Sometimes fly-fishing is enough to provide the kind of adventure

you’re seeking from your vacation

Jackson Hole, Wyoming is a great spot for fly-fishing and regulars claim it is a great practice to get

some thinking done
