This is a great assignment! I've actually been working on this one for years haha, and I'd love to read other peoples' buckets lists as well!
I REALLY want to TRAVEL!! I don't even have a passport but that doesn't stop me from constantly daydreaming about going to Bali or Tokyo. Within all the travel dreams are specific things I really want to see because I kick this damn bucket.
I've been really wanted to visit Tokyo after watching the Anthony Bourdain "Parts Unknown" episode; it just looked so damn incredible. The nightlife, the food, the people, the crazy live shows with naked girls wearing big animal heads....where can you go wrong?! Plus I could buy ALL the Sailor Moon merch!
Amsterdam. Need I say more?
Tomorrowland EDM festival in Belgium. (And Tomorrowworld in Georgia! More on raves later.)
I really want to do a roadtrip all over the United States. Ideally I'm living in an RV and driving all over America! My eventual destination is sunny California because that where all the babes are! ;) Also I think most kids like myself that grew up in Maine all dreams of hitting the Golden Coast eventually. Whilst in California, I can cross quite a few things off the list. I want to visit the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. This place has always fascinated me as well! Stephen King has a great movie called "Rose Red" which was based off the Winchester House legacy. (I could probably write just a whole other blog post about the Winchester House, so just Google it!) I also want to, no, HAVE to go to San Diego Comic Con!!! Seriously! I must go at least once! Shoot, I've never even been to a Comic Con, so that's on the bucket list in general, but the ONE is SDCC! I obvioulsy want to go to Hollywood and pretend to be a fabulous movie star but while I'm there, I would like to visit the Museum of Death!
But before the RV and I get to Cali, I want to stop all over and just just out some roadside oddities and attractions. I have to stop in Philadelphia, because since i was a little freaking girl, I've been obsessed with visiting the Mutter Museum! The Mutter is a medical museum with a huge collection of medical oddities and the like. I love that stuff.
Of course, we're stopping in Colorado! ;) Will be fun to enjoy weed there before we legalize it everywhere (it's only a matter of time!) In Colorado, I want to visit the Chronic Cabaret in Denver-weed and burlesque until 3am! Apparently right at the door you get your own bag upon paying admission and then you're free to just roll em up all night and watch a sexy show! *swoon*
LAS VEGAS! I mean come on, it's called Sin City. I just need to see what it's al about, enough said. Also Electric Daisy Carnival! That being said, I just want to go to a rave in general!! I'm sorry to say that I'm a rave virgin! (Shocking, I know).
New Orleans is a definite visit too. After reading "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" (takes place in Georgia I know, not Louisiana) I knew I wanted to visit somewhere neat in the south too. NOLA became really appealing to me after awhile, such vibrant history and a party town! Spooky girls like myself are of course very attracted to all the beautiful cemeteries and voodoo! And definitely after watching "American Horror Story Coven" (my favorite season by the way) I was like, YUP I'm going there! (Also another Museum of Death here! Score!)
BUT here's a thing I get to cross off the old bucket list.....applying to SG!
