Instagram is probably the place where I have found most of my bucket list travel experiences. I regularly sit and scroll through my feed marveling at the awesome photos and amazing places. It really makes me want to get up and book my flight right away.
I have been so inspired recently by some instagram accounts I thought I should just share some of these cool experiences with all of you! We did cross off some of the experience from the list here 🙂
1. Explore Pamukkale – One of the most mysterious & irresistible of Turkey
Pamukkale is a unique, wonderful, and mind-boggling gift that the Creator has lovingly dedicated to Turkey. Pamukkale shows a gorgeously magical beauty which seems to be so surreal that you may think it’s unreal. But it does exist, for thousands of years. This scenic site promises to take you to a new paradise of water that has long been one of the most wonderful and must-go destinations in Turkey!
2. Watch the Northern Lights from your bed in Finnish Lapland and get on a Dog Sledd!
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, which brings with it swirls of color over the skies of Finland and Iceland. What would be more incredible than lying in your bed with a magical snow covered wonderland outside watching the Northern Lights? Instagram is abuzz with pictures of the Northern Lights, and if you want to take it up a notch – book yourself a stay in an igloo! Even when you don’t get to see the lights you can still have a romantic evening gazing at the stars.

3. Take Hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia!
Watching the surreal landscape of Cappadocia at sunrise from a hot air balloon must be such a special feeling.If you’re an Instagram enthusiast you would have come across the pictures of the hot air balloon extravaganza that takes place in Cappadocia, Turkey. Whether you feast your eyes on the sight from a rooftop or take a trip on one of the hot air balloons, I can imagine this to be an extraordinary experience.

4. Swim with sharks at The Bahamas!
Going to Bahamas has been a dream of mine for so long. The beautiful crystal clear lagoon and the spectacular views has my heart exploding every time I see a photo. In places like Exuma you often see sharks swimming by while snorkeling and it seems pretty incredible!
5. Take a Walk at White Sand Desert in New Mexico!
White Sands National Monument is in the northern Chihuahuan Desert in the U.S. state of New Mexico. It’s known for its dramatic landscape of rare white gypsum sand dunes. Trails through the dunes dotted with interpretive exhibits on wildlife and other features.
6. Hot springs hanging over the jungle – Grutas Tolantongo!
A paradise in the jungle, that’s the best way I can describe this place. We had never heard of Grutas Tolantongo before we saw it here. Hot springs hanging over the jungle, caves and the turquoise blue rivers all surrounded by the mountains – is this even a real place?
7. Explore the Amazon Jungle completely disconnected from world!
The Amazon Rainforest is the ecosystem of largest diversity in our planet. Large parts of this mysterious rainforest are still unknown, and most of the jungle is only accessible by navigating on the mighty Amazon River. Hence, it is not surprising that taking a trip to the Amazon Rainforest is many travelers’ dream. We would love to spend a couple of weeks in this world and see the animals, the plants, and the flooded villages!
8. Swing over the jungle in Bali Indonesia and explore Nusa Penida!
For a few dollars you can live your best instagram life and do a swing over Bali. There are five different swings with different views to choose from with the highest one being 78m!
The most jaw-dropping place in Bali: The Dinosaur head of Nusa Penida, Kelingking Beach!
9. Explore the hidden lagoon in Philippines!
Take a ten to fifteen minute boat ride from Kayangan lake to the hidden lagoon and experience the breathtaking nature of the Philippines!
10. Eat breakfast with Giraffes in Kenya at Giraffe Manor
At the Giraffe Manor in Kenya, visitors are surprised and delighted by the very special guests that join them for breakfast. The guests are none other than the giraffes, which call the manor home, a small hotel in a suburb in Nairobi. Bloggers flock to by the manor house, to get a snap of these gorgeous creatures, who photobomb breakfast selfies as they peer through their bedroom windows and meander around the house as if they were one of the guests. It’s an incredibly heartwarming experience – if their Instagram captions are anything to go by!
11. Explore the huge endless tulip fields in the Netherlands!
Travel to Holland in mid April to see the tulips at their best. Tulip season runs from the end of March until mid May, but the flowers are usually at their best halfway through April. More than 7 million flower bulbs bloom in spring at the Keukenhof in Lisse. It is one of the best places to discover many different kinds of tulips. However, in this time of the year you really only have to board a train or pick up a bicycle to watch the tulips in all their glory in rural fields.
Most tulip farms in Holland are located in the Noordoostpolder in the province of Flevoland. The flower bulb fields along the coast of The Hague and Leiden up to Alkmaar in the north are also a great way to enjoy these beautiful flowers.

Spent a whole day curving around the tiny streets of Sintra, stopping at Cabo Da Roca (Europe mainland’s most Western point), and cruising in the sunny afternoon heat along Portugal’s breathtaking coastline. What an experience!

13. Explore the Slovenian wilderness in Gozdne Vile Glamping Huts!
For a truly unique accommodation experience, try a spot of glamping i.e. glamorous camping in Slovenia. Gozdne Vile Glamping Huts looks one of the most fun and most affordable glamping experiences I have seen in recent years. With everything in this cute little hut, most huts even have a private hot tub where you can relax after a long day of exploration. And the best part is that the huts are a 5 minute walk away from Lake Bled.
I hope this list will help you plan your next trip!!! Let me know in comments section where will you go first!! 🙂
Just wow on all those amazing pics!
