Whether you’re interested in extreme sports, expanding your skillset with a brand hobby, or completing an activity that is so radical and different, you never thought you’d have the stomach to do it, 2025 is the year for tackling your bucket list!
Whatever your ambitions are for this coming year, here are five top items for your bucket list to help you get the most out of life.
Extreme sports are adrenaline inducing activities that some will participate in occasionally, and others will make it a part of their regular day to day routine.
Skydiving is a particular bucket list favourite when it comes to extreme sports. It’s popular with raising money for charity and for those hoping to take on a death-defying stunt.
Additionally you could try out other variations of extreme sports like white water rafting, cliff diving and ski mountaineering. If you’re trying out these sports whilst abroad, don’t forget to take out travel insurance that will cover you in the event of an accident!
Travelling is one of the best ways to view different cultures, cuisines and languages up close. Whether you’re interested in taking a tour of historical landmarks, beach hopping, or simply completing a whistlestop tour of different destinations, it’s never been a better time to travel the world.
If you’re hoping to complete a truly life-changing activity whilst on your travels, why not stop by Africa to complete some voluntary work in animal conservation?
Organisations like Conservation Travel Africa are dedicated to educating individuals about the care of endangered animals.
Book a getaway today to work with animals such as rhinos, the Big 5, Humpback Whales and Elephants. Their huge variety of conservation programmes has something for every budding conservation enthusiast!
Learning a language is a common bucket list item for a good reason; it’s an extremely useful tool for travelling with, and can give you an insight into the culture of a country you visit.
Whether you opt for standard French, Spanish or German, or go for something more advanced or niche such as Japanese, Dutch or Swahili, apps like Duolingo are the perfect tool to take on the go. A few simple exercises each day can help you to master the language quickly and effortlessly.
Whilst cooking is a natural skill for some, for many it can be a challenge to overcome. For those hoping to learn some cooking skills, you can invest in food boxes from companies like Gousto for a gourmet cooking experience that is both effortless and delicious.
The boxes include step-by-step instructions for each mouthwatering main and all the ingredients you need for a healthy and balanced diet.
Your bucket list doesn’t have to exclusively include items for abroad, you can create a bucket list that will enable you to travel in your home country too.
Simply hire out a car, or use your own to tackle the open road. You could even hire a motorhome or convert your van to enable you to get around.
