27. Swim in the Great Blue Hole of Belize


The Great Blue Hole of Belize is the largest underwater sinkhole in the world. With about 100km of depth, its wonders still weren't discover because humans do not have machines able to go down there. Only professional scuba divers can dive in the Great Blue Hole of Belize, but for that they need to face some practice and simulations, so that they are prepared to face the cold waters of Belize.

Why?
I read about the Great Blue Hole of Belize as one of nature's most incredible pieces of art. I love swimming which is one reason I would enjoy going there, and also the view there might be beautiful, both under and over water. Also, there are many wonders that still weren't discovered there, and it would be cool to swim in a place almost untouched. Some boats sinked there so there might be antique and unique objects there I'd love to try finding.

26. Visit Tadmor Prison


Tadmor Prison is one of the most, if not the most, deadliest prison in the world. Located in Syria, it is known as the "kingdom of death and madness". When guards are not busy tying up inmates and dragging them to death, they can be found chopping up body parts in one of the prison’s several courtyards, since living there is much painful then physical pain.

Why?
Since I was a little kid, I had the wish to visit a jail, and visiting the most deadliest and dangerous one would be much more than I've wanted. Being in jail is only part of the problem, staying alive is the bigger issue, but since I would only visit and see how it is like to be in prison, there wouldn't be much concerns. Apart from that, maybe it would make me see how it is terrible to commit crimes and turn me into a better person.

25. Travel by Bycicle


Bike traveling is quite common today. People from all over the world travel to cities close for so that they won't need to face traffic and waste money to pay for the possible fuel of a car. Although the time to get to one's destiny is bigger, it has its advantages and might be considered the best option for many people.

Picture taken from here.

Why?
I love bike riding and also traveling, so I think combining both of these in only one activity would be a great idea. Also, riding a bike is good for our health and one can enjoy much more the beautiful views that he/she might see throughout the trip.

21. Walk in Greek Streets


Greece is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. Located in Europe, Greece has more bodies of water occupying the country than land. Also, it is there where one can find awsome beaches and historical constructions all around. The civilization started with the Ottoman Empire, and now  a days receives people from everywhere. Full of little streets and houses, Greece has been growing and still continues a wonderful place that could even be called, paradise.

Picture taken from here.

Why?
Because Greece is beautiful and I've always considered it a fascinating place where I'd enjoy a lot to go. The constructions and the straight streets enphasize the fruitfull culture and the beautiful beaches make of Greece, the perfect place to visit.

20. Travel in a Submarine


The submarine is a watercraft, and is capable of carrying up to 150 people. Its like a plane, just that it travels underwater. Going more than 1,300 meters, the submarine travels in a speed of about 60 km/h. Invented in 1864, the submarine is used until today and is very useful in wars and other situations.

Picture taken from here.


Why?
My grandfather already went in a submarine and told me it is a memorable experience. I'd like to travel in a submarine because it is totally submerged and maybe there are extraordinary views and animals that we are able to see. Also, it is an experience that not many people in the world have the opportunity to go through. The only fear I have is that if water enters the submarine somehow, and there is no way to take the water out, it will sink down if the crew takes too long to solve the issue and in a place so deep, there is no way I'd survive.

19. Watch Lifehouse Playing Live


Lifehouse is an alternative band originated in Los Angeles. With more than fifteen million singles, the band is a total success and has sold out many tickets in their world wide performances. Their first album for instance, was called Lifehouse and has one of their most famous single, "You and Me", that appeared in more than 6 movies and was downloaded by four million people, according to the Itunes program. Clearly, they are a talented group that has been increasing their success throughout the ages.


Picture taken from here.

Why?
I love Lifehouse and their songs are quite inspiring for me. The lyrics are deep and the rythm is most of the time slow and smooth. Their music talks about difficulties that each and everyone of us face sometimes and the lyrics gives us strength to carry on when we face these problems, like the song "Hanging by a Moment".

18. Get Dropped off in the Jungle



Getting dropped in the middle of the jungle is something people already tried doing. The individual is left in the jungle and has to face issues that come up daily and try to survive the best way possible until finding their way back to a civilization.

Picture taken from here.

Why?
The jungle is full of obstacles and would definately be a life threatening experience for someone. Being dropped in the middle of the jungle and having to escape alone is a thrilling yet intriguing idea. Things that seem difficult and quite challenging interests me, so, that would be something I'd be willing to do.

Hiking is a radical sport that involves walking in natural environments and also climbing using special materials to reach great and of high altitude distances.

Why?
One of the things I've never done was go hiking. People say its dangerous and full of adrenaline. I like radical sports and things that would give me a thrill when doing, so I'd probably like hiking. Secondly, the Grand Canyon is enormous and gorgeous, hiking there would not only involve adrenaline, but great sights.
