Whether you're a beginner or well seasoned globetrotter, you'll likely always be looking for new experiences to add to your bucket list.
No matter if you're the adventurous type, fancy a quiet spiritual trip, or are a daredevil looking for the next adrenaline rush, there's something for everyone across the globe.
If you're planning your next international trip, here are five top experiences you won't want to miss as a globetrotter.
Conservation Travel Africa
If you're an animal lover, or welfare enthusiast, you need to add Conservation Travel Africa to your bucket list.
Whether you're a fan of big cats, Rhinos, or other endangered species, Conservation Travel Africa is a residential experience not to miss out on.
The programme offers spaces for individuals, couples and families who want to experience the best that the African continent has to offer. Meals and accommodation are included in the price, so for an unforgettable experience, you don't have to worry about spending additional money.
China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE)
If your vocation lies in teaching and making a difference, working in China through a teaching scheme is a good place to start. Experience a culture firsthand and observe the magic of watching young people learn a new language for the first time.
To join a programme, you will need a TEFL qualification which can be obtained through sites like TEFL.org. This will provide you with all the necessary skills you need to teach effectively and knowledgeably.
Camp America
Many have heard of the legendary Camp America experience, spending time in the USA to make a difference to young lives.
Choose from a range of camp experiences, from faith focused camps to girl scout camps, private camps, day camps and special needs camps. All serve a specific purpose and can help you specialise in a particular area.
There is a cost involved in applying for Camp America, but it covers your accommodation, food, visa and insurance. Some packages can include your flight costs, but others don't - check carefully before you apply.
Dubai Skydiving
To some, skydiving is a daredevil's dream, to others it's their worst nightmare. Dubai is a well considered destination for skydiving, with schools, high quality instructors and breathtaking views.
Whether you fancy embarking on a tandem skydiving experience, gyrocopter flight, or indoor skydiving opportunity, there are plenty of options available to those wanting to try the most unforgettable and death defying stunt.
Northern Lights
Known as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Northern Lights are the ultimate ethereal experience for any traveller. They are traditionally only visible from the Northern Hemisphere at particular times or places, but occasionally they can be seen as far south as the UK and some locations in Europe.
Traditionally, you can see the Northern Lights most reliably from countries such as Iceland, where you can stay in glass pods to view the full splendour of the colours in the night sky. To glimpse the Northern Lights in their full spectacular appearance, it's wise to view them somewhere far away from any light pollution, as this can prevent you from having a full uninterrupted look.
