One of the many things on my bucket list is traveling worldwide. Each and every place has something new and exciting to see. I love seeing the history behind each landmark and the cultures of every place I visit. Meeting new people and learning a little more about Earth is a big part of why traveling worldwide is on my bucket list. 

One of the places that I would like to visit is France. There are many different landmarks I would like to see for myself. One of the landmarks I would like to visit is the Eiffel Tower. I have seen this tower in many postcards, photos and films about France. I would like to learn more about the history and why they built the site that so many people go to visit year-round. 

Traveling to Egypt would also be a very interesting experience. I would especially like to see the Great Pyramids of Giza. I find the culture of the people who once used the towers very compelling. From the stories of how they built the pyramids to stories of what they look like today, they are a really beautiful sight. I have grown up learning about each and every thing that took place within those towers, and the movies created around them expand my knowledge and curiosity. 

From the food to the style of the cities, Japan is a great place to go sightseeing in. The food I have tasted from restaurants themed like this amazing country has all been amazing. I would really enjoy tasting the food in the actual country that all these amazing restaurants have come from. At night, the views from the photos I have seen are incredible. Everything from the buildings to the landmarks that are so well known around the world, Japan has a lot to offer. 

Next, I would like to visit the great city of Rome, Italy. The people who once lived there made me wonder about everything that has happened there. From the Colosseum to the Baths of Caracalla, so much history has been made there. Learning about all the different gods they worshiped has also added to my curiosity. 

Lastly, I would like to visit Antarctica. Lots of scientific discoveries have been made there, and I want to experience them for myself. I would like to see the glaciers that have been there for so long and the animals that have inhabited the areas where people all over the world want to travel. These animals are fascinating in every way, and I would like to see their day-to-day activities in person. Antarctica has many beautiful sights to see, and I want to see them all. 

History created all these stories we know and love today. Culture is a major part of history and traveling the world is a great way to see it all. These places fill my bucket list because they have so many glorious sights and things to do. Seeing each and every place I have dreamed about visiting will be a great way for me to find out more about our Earth and everything it has to offer.
