10. Be Mesmerized by the Northern Lights
 
Visible at night in the Auroral band, these ribbons of colour swirling across the sky are caused by energetic particles that enter the atmosphere from above. Ranging from pink, green, yellow, blue, violet and occasionally orange and white this phenomenon puts on a pretty impressive show (The Auroral band stretches across Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland)

11. Walk Amongst 700-Year Old Dead Trees in Deadvlei, Namibia
 
A stark contrast to the massive sand dunes, sits a large bleached white clay pan with 700-year old dead camel thorn trees sticking out of the ground. Kind of spooky, and surreal.

12. Hike Part of the Great Wall of China
 
China’s most famous landmarks, the Great Wall snakes its way across northern China for 21,196 kilometers. You can make this hike as easy or as challenging as you’d like with different sections of the wall to explore.

13. Explore the Perito Moreno Glacier
Coming in at 5km (3.1 mi) with an average height of 74 m (240 ft) above the surface of the water of Argentino lake, and a total ice depth of 170 m (558 ft), the Perito Moreno Glacier is the third largest reserve of fresh water in the world. This glacier is also one of the few glaciers in the world that is growing rather than retreating.

14. Summit Kilimanjaro
Standing at 5,895 meters tall, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak. However despite the height, it is not a technical mountain but more of a high-altitude trek that takes you through 5 climatic zones and 6 ecological zones. Crossing this off your bucket list will definitely give you an amazing sense of accomplishment!

18. Float in the Dead Sea
 
Jordan’s Dead Sea mineral-rich water is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean which causes a natural buoyancy that makes you float, and the Dead Sea mud contains more than 25 different minerals with therapeutic properties. It is also 1300 feet below sea level, making it the lowest elevation on earth.

19. Experience the Magic of Autumn in New York City
 
Crisp air, cool breeze, fall leaves in stunning shades of red, gold and orange, the picturesque skyline makes New York City is a magical place to be in the autumn.
