Chelsea's Bucket List
Places I want to visit before I kick the bucket
Travel Likes
I love travelling and I feel blessed to have travelled to quite a few places at such a young age. My favourite part of travelling is exploring the culture, food and interacting with the locals, rather than visiting foreign investments or commercialized sites. I enjoy visiting places with a tropical climate and beaches, but I also wish to visit some of the countries in the Eastern hemisphere to see the contrast around the globe.
Bucket List Entries
Attend a destination wedding
One thing that I have always wanted to experience was a destination wedding. The last time I went on vacation, the resort we stayed (Grand Bahia, Jamaica) was a popular spot for destination weddings, and my sister and I would always watch the ceremonies from afar. I love the idea of a destination wedding as they usually involve a smaller crowd of close friends and family, rather than hundreds of people, and you get a vacation out of it at the same time.
Visit Punalu'u Beach, Hawaii
The above picture is a preview of what Punalu'u Beach in Hawaii. Punalu'u Beach features unique black sand along the coast of Hawaii. Because Hawaii is home to so many active volcanoes, the sand has a distinct black colour due to the ashes of the nearby volcanoes. Though the water is very rocky and dangerous to swim in, I would still like to visit this beach just to walk along the shore.
Visit Blue Hole, Jamaica
The above picture was taken of me swimming in Blue Hole. Blue Hole is a secretive tourist destination found far in the rainforest of Ocho Rios, Jamaica. This destination is run by locals, and only require a $10 entry fee to spend as long as you'd like, climb water falls, and have a personal guide to help you swim through the deep waters, and climb steep parts of the trails. I had the opportunity to visit this location last summer, and I can say it was my favourite tour site, as it was run by locals, and wasn't commercialized nor expensive.

Swim in the Nylon Pool
The above picture is of a group of tourists relaxing in Nylon Pool, located off the coast of Tobago. This popular tourist destination is accessible by boat, and is a shallow (water goes up to waist) natural pool, located far into the Caribbean sea. While visiting Nylon Pool, tourists can interact with stingrays, dolphins and other marine life.
Visit Dubai
Dubai had always been a place that fascinated me, this started when one of my closest friends had to move to Dubai due to his fathers job. He constantly keeps me updated, and tells me tons of stories about what goes on in Dubai, and I'd love to have the opportunity to visit him and roam Dubai one day.
Swim with Dolphins
As an animal lover I've always wanted to swim with Dolphins, and get the opportunity to pet and feed them. In the summer of 2013 I finally got to cross this amazing experience off my bucket list in Grand Cayman.
Trinidad Carnival
The picture above is of Trinidad's largest tourist attraction, the annual Carnival parade. I've been to Caribana in Toronto every year, but I would like to experience the authentic and original festival in Trinidad.
Visit Italy
Italian food has always been my number one favourite ever since I was young, so I would love to visit Italy and enjoy authentic Italian meals. I would also like to go on the Casa Di Giuliette tour in Verona and add a note to the wall.
Visit Amsterdam
I have always wanted to visit the city of Amsterdam to explore the culture and also visit the Anne Frank house.
Top Bucket List Entry
My top bucket list entry is to visit all Caribbean countries. I love the culture and food of the Caribbean, and I would like to see how it differs throughout each country.
