My Travelling Bucket List

         Those who know me well, know one thing is for certain about me.. I LOVE to travel. Not even just like travel in the sense of going to Cuba and laying on a beach for a week (which at times wouldn't be half bad) I mean like, random road trips sorta deal. (I put 100,000 km on a car once in a year, and just driving local.) I'm more of a learning traveller. I'm attracted to travelling to any place that I just haven't been to before, or that holds interesting history. Ironically I haven't done much travelling too far, I've been on road trips from Nova Scotia to Ontario and back, but that's pretty much the farthest, and I was a kid. I'm the type of person that if I won the lottery, I would seriously give away everything I own, and live out of a suitcase and hotel rooms, just to travel anywhere I possibly could. And I don't even wanna see just the good things with travelling. I wanna see the good, the bad, and the ugly. (With the exception of forests filled with bugs and snakes) Haha, I'm the girl who got excited the first time I saw a hooker in real life, no joke! I literally wanna see everything the world has to offer, from a safe stand point.

          So, for those of you who read my blog (Thanks by the way!) I have made up my “Travelling Bucket List” for you :)

Okay, let's start small. I REALLY wanna see the mountains in British Columbia someday. Seriously, anyone who wouldn't wanna just be planted there for like a week and just be able to take in the beauty of the place has something wrong with them. I get mesmerized just by pictures of them. I'm a city kid, so to see something like this would be like seeing a whole new world.

Fort Erie, Ontario. Now, when I lived in Niagara Falls, we actually traveled to Fort Erie for a field trip. Old Fort Erie, was a war fort. The original was built in 1764. (You can read up on the history of it if you're interested here) While on this field trip with school, obviously for the history purposes, we learned that they actually give midnight ghost tours! Even as a kid at the time, the ghost tour idea caught my attention. I've been dying to go back and go on one. Although being able to just do an investigation of our own would be better ;)

Another place I would have died to do an investigation was Waverly Hills Sanatorium, which they used to give tours through, and a few ghost hunter teams have gotten into to do investigations. Nowadays I hear they are turning it into a hotel, So I guess I will just have to wait and rent a room ;) (Learn the history of Waverly Hills here )

 

The Northern Lights! I don't care where I have to go, or how cold it is there, I NEED to see these!!

Stonehenge: Now this is a place I'd love to see. It's an amazing site, and it makes you wonder! The rocks that make it up are MASSIVE, and there's a lot of question on how the rocks were placed there, considering when it was built there were no large equipment to lift them. There's a lot of speculation there that maybe aliens were in contact with humans waaaay back when, and some people say that's how the rocks were placed. This is also a speculation, for those of you who don't know, for the Egyptians. It is believed that Egyptians way waay back had communication with other worldly species, that's why there has been pictures of certain technologies that didn't exist at the time found in Egyptian tombs. Also there has been crop circles that have depicted what we know as Egyptian symbols. Back to Stonehenge, there have been reports of there being lights in the sky seen near the site from time to time, adding to the wonder if the speculation has some truth to it.

                        Crop circle of what eerily resembles a Egyptian Scarab \/

Norway: Now, I would love to visit Norway just for it's simple beauty. Every picture I see of it is amazing. I mean it even makes the winter time look amazing, and I HATE winter!!

OH and not to mention stuff like this has been seen in the Norway sky. Soo, yeah, I wanna see!

Another couple paranormal hot spots I'd like to visit:

                                          Moundsville Penitentiary. 

             Chillingham Castle(Supposedly the most haunted place on earth!!)

Poveglia Island, Italy.

Now, This one is a whole new can of worms. This place has seen so much death it is unreal. It at one time was used as a confinement station for people who had the plague, and a time after that it was used as a quarantine station, and the buildings were built into an asylum for the mentally ill or long term patients.It was more of a place of exile than a place where people got better. Then when people died in the asylum, they were burned, so story goes that a good portion of the soil on the island is made up of human ash. It is said to be extremely haunted. So much so, that the Italian government has actually cut off public access to people to go to the island. There have though, been ghost hunter crews who have been able to get their way onto the island for a night. 

Eastern State Penitentiary
Has anyone else caught on that I have this crazy thing for prisons?? Haha.

The Stanley Hotel

I'm pretty sure this one speaks for itself, and needs no explanation :)

Now back to normal travels, here's a few other "must sees":

Alaska (Beautiful!)

Scotland

Paris

Africa
