When it comes to New Year\u2019s resolutions, most of people aim to lose weight, quit smoking, do more exercise … or something else, mostly health-related. Well, I have been a good girl for years now and I am well aware that healthy lifestyle is a journey, not just something you promise to yourself (and usually fail) every year \ud83d\ude09 Instead of making resolutions, I decided to come up with a bucket list of 7 destinations I want to visit and 7 activities I want to do in the next 7 years. As I mentioned in my post about my travel favorites<\/a>, my goal is not to visit all countries in the world, but it is pretty damn close. And since I am not getting any younger, I need to set my priorities straight \u2013 after all, I am limited with resources and time; I have a real job and someone has to pay for my trips. My bucket list will also help me stay motivated, disciplined and focused on my travel goals in the future. And, 7 is a lucky number, right? \ud83d\ude09 So, here it goes:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. BORA BORA<\/strong> \u2013 a group of islands in Tahiti with breathtaking beaches, nature and resorts. Just take a look at the photo above and say nothing else.<\/p>\n

What has been keeping me away so far:<\/em><\/strong> Well, first of all, it is pretty damn far \u2013 it would take me a few days just to travel there and back from Slovenia. Secondly, if I am to travel a few days, I need to spend at least a week there, if not 10 days. I mean, seriously, what would I do there for 10 days? And last but not the least; if I want to enjoy one of the resorts in Bora Bora, I need a sponsor or two. Any collaboration requests, por favor?<\/p>\n

2. PHILIPPINES<\/strong> \u2013 The country with thousands of islands in the Pacific Ocean. I can\u2019t even begin to describe why\u2026 beaches, caves, lakes, whales, mountains\u2026 seems like Philippines have it all.<\/p>\n

What has been keeping me away so far:<\/em><\/strong> Honestly, I don\u2019t know which island to pick – everyone talks about Palawan and Boracay, I was also checking out Cebu and Bohol, and on the other hand I would like to go somewhere \u201cvirgin\u201d, with not too many tourists. Got any ideas?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. TANZANIA<\/strong> OR SOUTH AFRICA<\/strong> \u2013 African beauties, known especially for their diverse wildlife. I am crazy about lions and I want to see them in their nature habitat (not only in zoo, like the one above from Singapore).<\/p>\n

What has been keeping me away so far:<\/em><\/strong> The reason is somehow similar to previous one \u2013 I can\u2019t imagine going to safari for more than 5 days, and to travel that far I would need to combine my visit with something else. People usually visit Tanzania together with Zanzibar, but the island somehow doesn\u2019t seem like my cup of tea. Well, I guess I will need to make a compromise\u2026 or visit South Africa instead?<\/p>\n
