We asked for your favourite Canadian vacation spots for The Current's travel bucket list — and you certainly delivered, with more than 2,000 submissions. Rick Mercer joins Matt Galloway to unveil the shortlist of 20 amazing locations, and explain how you can vote for your favourite.
Here is my "current "To Do List" for adventure travel, otherwise known as a Bucket List.Will I get through the list before I am told that I will have to stay at home for the rest of my life? A horrible thought it is.There are so many wonderful places on our planet and I rather be traveling to experience them than listening to all of the bad news on TV. The anger, the hate, the egos, the lies are all depressing. So I am making the most of it.My bucket list will keep growing no doubt, but I rather have it that way, than nothing on it.Enjoy my current top 10 from the Americas, Africa, and the South Pacific.Life is short and fragile. http://www.malcolmteasdale.com

If you know me, then you know I love to travel. Long ago, when I was forced to identify my life's priorities, I came to the realization that travel and new experiences would be something I always plan and budget for. It would be something I would happily spend my money on (with a proper budget, of course) but enjoy with no regrets. Since that realization, I've been to some amazing places, including 15 different countries. And I've seen almost all of the United States. I only have 14 more states to hit! In this episode, I'm sharing some of my most memorable destination experiences and some places that are very high on my travel bucket list! Here's a glance at this episode: [01:53] Travel may not resonate with you like it does with Raya, however Raya encourages listeners to identify the things they love and would happily spend money on. [04:20] Raya has been on planes regularly since she was an infant. She breaks down her earliest travel experiences. [07:13] Raya's first international trip happened in 2012. It was a Mediterranean cruise that left out of Venice, Italy. [12:15] Of all the beaches Raya has been to, she shares that The Bahamas are the best (in her opinion). [16:50] Raya shares the places that are high on her travel bucket list. Places like Europe, French Polynesia, and knocking out the remaining U.S. states.

In the 202nd episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn and Dave are celebrating National Bucket List Day! This leads to a discussion about the things, mostly travel related, that are on both their bucket lists... places they'd like to visit, cruises they'd like to take, ground they'd like to set their feet upon, and theme parks to fly to. First though, Jenn is getting ready for a huge travel summer, while Dave is putting a Cap on his wall. Then, a little news -- Epcot's Food & Wine Festival dates have been released, and we speculate on why the festival time period is shorter... and if it has to do anything with the upcoming CommuniCore opening.. and of course, speculation of what we might see in there. Then, Disney filed permits for work on the Imagination Pavilion, so we also make some wildly off base yet fully educated guesses as to what Disney might be doing next in this area. And, is Figment so popular that he still needs his own attraction? Hollywood Studios has a 35th anniversary coming up... Smellephant is brand new in Magic Kingdom... new experiences require pre-payment (and why Mace Windu's lightsaber is purple)... and Jenn's joy that her favorite restaurant just got one huge award. Then onto the Bucket List chat, which really just devolves into a travel discussion about places we want to go, but it's always entertaining.

Join me as I weave tales of my solo mission trips and recount the unexpected adventures that have touched the hearts of communities across Africa, Nepal, and Guyana. My stories are not just my own; they're adorned with the experiences of kindred spirits, like a young missionary in Kenya whose dedication to service encapsulates the essence of happiness found in selfless acts. Venturing beyond the familiar, I reveal how a simple decision to distribute water filters with friends blossomed into an expedition that quenched the thirst of thousands. This episode isn't just about the destinations; it's about the people, the connections, and the extraordinary generosity that fuels humanitarian missions. Our conversation turns to the intricate ballet of performing missionary work under the constraints of religious restrictions, highlighting the bravery and devotion of those who offer spiritual nourishment against all odds. From the stealthy gatherings of underground Christian worship to the anticipation of an international pastor's visit, I share the stories of courage and commitment that bind the global faith community. In this episode, you will hear: Intertwining travel with giving back through missionary work in Africa, Nepal, and Guyana. The distribution of water filters, the joy of helping others, and the importance of community and gratitude. Difficulties of performing missionary work under religious restrictions and the underground nature of Christian worship in certain areas are explored. The significance of family support, the transformative power of travel, and the impact of global adventures on one's life are highlighted. Financial challenges and fundraising for mission trips, as well as the upcoming plans for a mission to bring a drilling rig to Venezuela. The importance of stepping out of comfort zones, embracing new experiences, and finding joy in travel and service. Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Many people we talk to have fallen into the habit of vacationing in the same place year after year. While there is nothing wrong with that as it creates traditions and lasting memories of a familiar place, you may find yourself intrigued by that friend or family member that is always traveling somewhere new. If that is you, but you aren't sure where to start, pack a bag and come with us today as we explore travel bucket lists. We'll share with you what is on our list and tips for creating your own. In this episode we dive into the different ways a travel bucket list might look, how we originally began creating our travel bucket list, and strategies for beginning to check those places off of your bucket list.

Making lists and checking them off. Let's talk about how we first started our travel bucket list. Why is it important for you to have a bucket list? We didn't really start out with a bucket list I wouldn't say but as we started to travel more…we had been to Europe (Paris, London, Madrid, Germany) and Hawaii and started going to Mexico that I think we started thinking of other places we'd like to go. We had a chalk board wall in our farmhouse kitchen 2 houses ago and we started by writing out some New Year's resolutions one year that really just morphed into a travel bucket list. I think a bucket list gives you a way to dream, something to look forward to, some people like to describe it as manifesting the things you desire. We have our list for sure but if other opportunities arise we aren't like oh but we need to do that one first etc, we just allow it to be what it is and sometimes that might be adding on a destination like Brussels for example while you are somewhere else in Europe or Puerto Rico to get to the Virgin Islands if that makes sense for the flights etc. Scott: when creating a list, does it have to be specific places or countries, or could you start with something more generic? (Lead up to discussion on visit a new country every year - travel goals). I think it should just look like dreaming brainstorming first… where are some places that you'd love to visit. And then as far as going …at first I it could just be around where you live. When we first got married we lived in Atlanta and we could afford to camp and that was about it so we went to some state parks in Georgia- Ocmulgee, providence canyon, ft McAllister state park near Savannah, camping on the blue ridge parkway but you got to see and experience more than just staying at home. So it may be like where can we go for a day trip that we've never been that's close by- pack a picnic and go for the day. Or it may be what cities can we drive to and visit for a weekend. After that I think it is just your interests- do you like mountains or the coast, hiking, golfing, skiing and it could be centered around where would I want to go so those things that I haven't been to or seen before. So after we went to 2019 Gibraltar, Monoco, Greece 2020 Portugal 2021 Belize We were like oh we've done a new country 3 years now so that's a goal for us. It could also be I want to visit every every continent or all 50 states, all the islands of Hawaii etc I can only imagine that someone is sitting there and thinking - “there's no way I could afford trips on my bucket list”. There is no denying that travel isn't cheap, especially if you are talking about luxury travel not every trip has to be a luxury trip Not all bucket list destinations have to be international travel Absolutely! So looking for deals on flights and being flexible on dates and locations and I think that's why I think it's great to have a bucket list to pull from so when you see something come up you already know that's a place you'd like to go. So getting alerts from Going to watch for flight deals (delta also has some deals buried in the app too) Finding the credit card or rewards program that will get you free flights, free hotel rooms, upgrades for your loyalty and spending. For hotels renting peoples timeshare weeks from places like Red Week. Booking sort of last minute travel - so this would be good for weekend trips - I know I get alerts from going about weekend tickets options but last minute hotel deals too on Priceline and hopper and mystery room deals so you know the location and category of room but not the exact price. Reading blogs on some of these techniques is helpful too. And sometimes international travel can end up being less expensive if you get a good flight deal depending on where you are going. 4-5 star hotels in some cities and countries can significantly less so just Googling and researching what others have to say or recommend. Another way to be able to travel is to look at the cost of lodging, food, tours etc at a destination. So for example it can more expensive to travel in Europe than it is in some locations in South America or Asia so looking at the cost once you arrive and mapping out s budget can be helpful. If you can get a good flight deal to a location where it is cheaper to stay, eat, and tour is one way to do some things on your international bucket list. Let's talk a little about our travel bucket list. Scott: what are some things that we have been able to check off on our travel bucket list so far? Where to next? What's the biggest trip on our bucket list right now? Well Galapagos was definitely on the list but I would have said that we would have checked off some others first but we had the opportunity to join some friends on the trip and decided that we couldn't pass it up. Antarctica and an African safari are probably the two other biggest ones in terms of cost I would say and our desire to do them on the sooner side Finally, if someone is ready to start building their bucket list, what would you recommend they read, watch or listen to for information on great places to put on their list? I've always been a huge Rick Steves fan. In my mind he was the original travel influencer- figuring out a way to give free content on his website and app and radio shows make a living from travel (books and paid resources) and making international travel accessible and budget friendly. There's so much more information out there today so I would start with resources that are relatable to you and are within your budget right now. Don't be dreaming of the Four Seasons and the Ritz Carlton if staying at a hostel or camping or a budget hotel is how you could travel. (You aren't going to remember the flight or the hotel unless the hotel is the destination which we rarely do). For us it is about seeing as much of the world in the time and with the resources we have.
