Dreaming big

Like any other teenager (or even a normal person for that matter) has dreams that they wish to accomplish in life, for me however, things that I wish to accomplish are different things. 
See, I view life as a once in a life time opportunity and I'm a true believer in that life should be lived to its fullest. Since I'm mostly a pleasure seeker I've put together a list of things that  I want to do before I get married (since this is the most appropriate time to do these things while you're still a bachelor).

So starting off, in no particular order:




  • Go to Rio for carnival                            It is very intriguing to think that Brazilians have dedicated almost like 2 months to just go out onto the streets and to start dancing and form parades and all. In my country there is nothing of the sort, I mean to think, these people are not worried about payment or work during this special celebrations. Just for the simple reason that this country has realized that people need to let go sometimes and enjoy their lives from time to time. As childish as it sound I really wanted to go after watching the movie Rio because carnival looked like a blast in that movie but hey, I'm glad that I got to know. 

Bungee Jumping
  •  Try bungee jumping                                 Sure it's scary and sure it seems like your life is flashing before your eyes but somehow, I've always been attracted to it. Maybe it's the prospectus of feeling like your flying or just the sheer exhilaration, either way I would love nothing more than to try it out. Just over the a river or a body of water so that I can just dip my head in the water and come out and this of course is for no particular reason.  


  • Sky diving
    Somewhat similar to the previous one but on a grander scale, imagine falling from like 15,000 feet in the air and being at the mercy of gravity. This would actually make you think you're flying cause you're going to fall for a considerable length of time and you could most probably flap your arms to give the added effect of flying.
    The reason why I want to do this again is most probably because of the exhilaration it provides and most probably try to see the earth like the big boss upstairs would see it, even though I won't be able to see the Earth as  a whole at least I would be able to see a fragment of it. I believe that it would never the less, be an eye opening experience.
  • Visit countries like Italy, most of Europe and Egypt
    Egypt because well, who isn't fascinated by mummies, pharaohs, pyramids and other cool stuff. Visiting Egypt has been somewhat of a childhood dream of mine but unfortunately for me I was never able to visit there.
    Italy, well, as you readers might not know I was born there and I think it's an fantastic country, from their food, drinks and sites all fall nothing short of beautiful.
    Europe because well, in my opinion Europe is most probably the most scenic continents on earth, with their season changes and rich culture and it also has a lot of history and lessons to be learned.

     
  •   Go to Maldives
    Ironically it is our country's neighbor and only about one hour away by flight but somehow I never really got round to going there. However, I plan on visting before the islands start to sink because apparently it's sinking even though there is a Maldivian in college who is convinced otherwise.
    The reason why I want to go there is because they have some breath taking beaches in the world. If any of you don't know what I'm talking about, then I strongly suggest you google as soon as possible. In Sri Lanka we do have some good beaches but very few which are as good as the beaches in Maldives.



    Currently these are a few of the things I have some more that i wanted to write but I stopped because the photos I keep uploading ends elsewhere.
