2023 is going to be your year and we know it. You’re gonna face all your fears and emerge victorious, aren’t you? Now we know that everyone’s bucket list will be different but we’ve compiled a list of 10 activities you should definitely aim at finishing this year. This list is going to make you feel alive and will go down in history as some of the most memorable moments of your life. Let’s get started with this list of unique bucket list ideas, shall we?
Did someone say extreme sports? Because we are ALL for it! Imagine having a bird’s eye view of the world, now who wouldn’t want that? Here are top picks for the places you can skydive in - Switzerland, New Zealand, Dubai, Nepal and Fiji. This activity, as cliche as it might be, makes it to our list of top 10 bucket list ideas because it provides a shift in perspective and is therapeutic.
Have you always been curious about the life that exists underwater? 2023 seems like a good year to find out. #2 on our list of top 10 bucket list ideas is exploring the unknown underwater. Our suggested places would be Indonesia, Australia, Maldives and Hawaii. These destinations are all rich in underwater flora and fauna and you can have the unique experience of swimming with Manta rays, sea turtles and even dolphins! Some of these places are also home to beautiful coral reefs that add to the charm of the activity. Scuba diving is a great exercise and makes you feel weightless, so it’s as close to flying as you can get.
This bucket list idea is for couples, more than anyone else, but we recommend everyone does it once! You can find a lot of places that offer you a beautiful view of the sky at night but our personal favourites are Bubble Domes in Northern Ireland and The Enchanted Faraway Tree in the UK. They are both such unique bucket list ideas because they give you the chance to be closer to nature and be out in the wild without taking away the comfort. It might be a great opportunity to pop the question you’ve been pondering over, if you know what we mean!
You may have mastered the art of cooking Indian food, even Italian maybe. But we think it’s time to take it up a notch. Is there a local dish from Indonesia that you can’t seem to get over or maybe that Paella from that little place in Valencia, that you just can’t stop dreaming about? Put your aprons on, bring out the knives and get to work. Give in to this unique bucket list idea and join one of the multiple workshops to polish your cooking skills so lip-smacking food isn’t reserved for vacations.
A wise person once said, “Don’t think about who will read your book, think about what you want to say” and we think it’s all the motivation you need to write a book. It can be a story about your life, or your learnings from your career or you can create a fictional world where everything is rainbows and butterflies. We say you take some time every week to write and see where the pages lead you. This could also be a great bucket list idea for kids. We’re sure you (and your little one) are sitting on the next bestseller and we can’t wait to read it.
You’ve spent many years saving up and prioritising everything and everyone over you, this year, we ask you to make that lavish stay on a cruise happen. Take some time off work, pack up your best outfits and set off on an adventure Dil Dhadakne Do style, only without the drama. This activity makes it to our top 10 bucket list ideas because of the whole experience it provides - waking up to the serene blue water, having a drink on the deck and chatting up a conversation with the caption of the ship.
Volunteering and helping others gives you joy that is unlike any other. Just the thought of being able to do something to bring about a change is so empowering. This year, we hope you find the time and the heart to volunteer at a shelter or help with a cause. You can choose whatever speaks to you and change someone’s world. We’ve mentioned this in our top 10 activities for bucket list ideas because it has the potential to change not just one, but many lives.
If you’ve also been waiting to conquer your fitness goals, we know just the place to start. This year, aim to run a marathon. You will need to start small but we are sure you will find it in you to build up your stamina and finish a marathon by the end of this year. This is one of the top 10 bucket list ideas for kids as well, as it can help them be fit from a young age and give them a tangible goal to chase.
There must be something you’ve always wanted to try but never got the time or the courage to do it. In 2023, all that is going to change. We’ve included this unique bucket list idea so that you get some time off and do things that you truly enjoy. Here are some things you can start with - dancing, painting and knitting.
This is something we’ve all considered at some point. Just taking a break from social media and living in the now. It’s time to actually go ahead with this in 2023. This is a great bucket list idea for couples because you can take a week off and just spend time with each other without one of you scrolling mindlessly or sharing hourly updates on stories. We are sure it will bring you closer and the love will be multiplied.
