Have a picnic at the Eiffel Tower
Okay, here’s what you do: go to a supermarket, grab as much bread, cheese, and wine as you can carry (don’t forget to pay). Take it all to the Eiffel Tower, and enjoy. Now that is a picnic with a view.
Elevated heart rate. Heavier than normal breathing. A sense of adventure like you’ve never felt before. This is what happens when your adrenaline starts pumping as you zipline at speeds of up to 60 mph through lush, green jungles.
The colors will draw you in, the smells will keep you…curious, and the variety of things to buy will both overwhelm you and probably cause you to come home with more things than you thought you would, but hey, you’re totally cool with that.
If for some reason you need a break from the breathtaking landscapes and beaches of Bali, try out a yoga class. It’s pretty simple, really. Relax your body, focus on your breathing, and say “om” when the yoga instructor tells you to.
Nothing quite compares to St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland. Locals and visitors flood the streets for an all-day celebration filled with green beer, green outfits, and a plenty of chances to make your friends back home green with envy.
Cannon ball? A classic. Swan dive? Graceful and elegant. The one that looks like you’re just chillin’ on a couch? 10/10. It doesn’t matter how you do it. All that matters is that you go for it.
What do you get when you combine techno music, flashing lights, dancing robots, and dinosaurs? The answer, obviously, is a robot cabaret show in Tokyo, Japan. You’ll be dazzled, you’ll be confused, and you won’t be able to look away.
Close your eyes and picture a bus. Now make it red, add a second level, and drop it in the middle of London. You’ve got in your mind a classic double-decker bus, and the makings of the perfect 2020 experience.
When you travel, you try new things. Yes, even when that new thing has six legs and comes on a stick from a street vendor in Southeast Asia. Come on, you know you’re curious.
They say you never forget how to ride a bike. We say you never forget riding a bike in Amsterdam. And not to peer pressure you, but everybody’s doing it. And once you bike through this beautiful city and the surrounding countryside, you’ll see why.
If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re inside a nature documentary, may we suggest a Kenyan safari? If you’re lucky, one of your fellow travelers might even narrate just like David Attenborough.
Yes, Thai food is arguably some of the best food in the world. But this experience is about so much more than the food. It’s about connecting with people and learning a thing or two about a different culture. Wow, authentic and delicious.
Move over sloths. The award for chillest animal on the planet goes to the giant tortoise. Get to know this award-winning animal in the Galapagos, and finally learn the secret to living past 100.
Drinking wine in Italy? Real original. Seriously though, there’s a reason it’s famous, and 2020 is the year you can see, smell, and taste it for yourself. It goes without saying that cheese should absolutely be part of this experience btw.
Over the river and through the cave, to grandmother’s house we go (that is, if your grandmother lives in Belize). It’s like a lazy river, only you’re surrounded by the Belizean jungle and you float through an actual cave.
Mouth, meet beer. But not just any beer. We’re talking beers bigger than your face at one of the biggest parties in the world: Oktoberfest. Oh, and if you want giant pretzels for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this is your chance.
Getting to the top of a mountain gives you a sense of accomplishment. You’ve conquered nature’s stairs, and it’s time to scream as loud as you can from the top of said mountain. Just try not to scare off any mountain goats.

Visiting ancient ruins brings the history of a city alive. Hike to Machu Picchu and stand where ancient civilizations existed thousands of years ago. Don’t think about ghosts. Don’t think about ghosts.
As much as we hate to admit it, we’re all bad at something. Maybe it’s dancing. Or talking to strangers. Or talking to strangers in a foreign language. Whatever it is, just do it! It won’t be easy, but trust us, you’ll feel pretty amazing afterwards.
