Incredible Life Experiences Everyone Should Have

​

As travel writers, we have gotten some inspiration through the years from our experiences. We all have some sort of “bucket list” which includes things like traveling to Peru and hiking Machu Pichu, running a marathon in an exotic place or a magical one like Disney, or even learning a new language or how to sing and dance. But here at the magazine, we have learned from inspiration, the inspiration of the human heart, and what makes us feel truly alive is leaning into the pulse of our desires. When we do what we have always loved we become an expression of our happiness and it is definitely infectious to everyone around us. In the spirit of loving life to the fullest, we´ve revised our list of things to do before we die. These seemingly

simple acts have transformed our lives in a way we have never done. Have you ever wanted to just dip out and go do some cool stuff on the other side of the globe? Shut up!! Of course, you have! We´ve all been bitten by the wanderlust bug before, and unfortunately, most of us have never acted on it. Whether laziness or simply not knowing where to go, those feelings are often unexplored. Well, forget about it! We asked our readers to show us some of the most awesome adventures that you can actually go experience right now. Let’s check the runner-ups.

Experience Flyboarding

​

Have you ever wished you could fly like a superhero? Or swim like a dolphin? The Flyboard is what you've always dreamed of. It is a water activity that takes you to the next level, in your quest for adrenaline, like no other adventure activities can.Having the Flyboard, or rocket boots as we like to call them,

strapped to your feet allows you to go up to heights of 30 feet in the air and

dive under the water and shoot straight out again, exactly like a dolphin. Flyboard is an activity anyone can learn and only taking 5 – 10 mins. The experienced Flyboard instructors will train you before and during your experience and we guarantee you will fly.

The Ice hotel in Sweeden

​

A hotel and art exhibition made of ice from the river Torne, each year reincarnated in a brand new design. A place to discover silence, northern lights, glistening snow-clad forests, reindeer,

cloudberries, kettle coffee and much more. Ice hotel is the world’s first hotel made of ice and snow. Founded in 1989, it is reborn in a new guise every winter, in the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi – 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. The Torne River, the arts, and creating a setting for life-enriching moments are at the heart of it all. This winter season there is big news— a whole new ice experience to be enjoyed

alongside our classic Ice hotel experience. ICEHOTEL 365 is a permanent structure that will include luxury

suites, each with private relaxation and bathroom, and art suites, all sculptured by selected artists. As well as a large ice bar that serves champagne, and an ice gallery. This ice experience can be visited

year-round and is cooled by solar panels during the summer months.
