Conclusions

We should travel every once in a while to connect with nature and appreciate how beautiful our world is. We are living a life full of stress and anxiety due to unfortunate events that have occurred lately. 

Somehow it teaches us to value and appreciate our life while we still can since our life is just borrowed from our creators. Hence, we should not waste it on negative things and doing evil deeds. Rather, we should focus on having a happy life and explore the greatness our world has to offer.

Our life is too short to live unhappy and full of regret, that is why bucket list travel is made. So that we can list down our dream places that we wanted to visit in the future if we can.

In one of the movies that we mentioned in our previous blog about the 10 Inspiring Movies, we mentioned the movie Hector and the search for Happiness. Hector went on an adventure to find the secrets on how to live a happy life and what are the factors contributing to it. 

It was mentioned there that…

“We have an obligation to be happy”.

Hector and the search for happiness

It was also even mentioned in an article by Erica Jackson Curran about Why planning a trip can your mental health in National Geographic.

Some psychologists tout the mental benefits of vacationing somewhere new. One 2013 survey of 485 adults in the U.S. linked travel to enhanced empathy, attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate creativity.

Being happy will come from our efforts by appreciating or experiencing something that can help us be happy. And somehow, doing travels and visiting other places contributes to that as well. 

That is why we wanted to share this with you so that you too can consider and add these mentioned places to your bucket list travel, and hopefully, someday you will be able to go and visit these places because they will surely give you an extraordinary experience that will your mental health, appreciate life and the world, and it will definitely make you happy.

Just always remember that when you are traveling regardless if by group or solo, it is always advisable to stay wary in your surroundings and always research about the country or place that you are about to visit.

Because it is a simple way to show respect for the religion and culture of the locals of the place. And most of all, use common sense. For example, if you are planning to visit a Muslim/Mediterranean country, be reminded of their culture on women wearing “Too Revealing” clothes as they might misinterpret it for “seeking for attention”.

That is why always make some research about the cultural backgrounds of the places in your bucket list travel, just to make sure that you will avoid any misunderstandings with the locals.
