On this week’s round of Travelers’ Night In , the interactive Twitter discussion for avid travelers and travel lovers, the theme was the Bucket List: all the things in travel we want to do before we die! As always, ten questions were asked, people responded while tagging their tweets #TNI , and learned quite a bit about some new destinations!
Q1. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
artistatlarge Just ONE place? Geesh, so many I have not been to yet … Maybe to the place I was named after – the Kimberley Diamond Mines.
awayblog Angkor Wat is top of my list right now, but the list changes hourly
ACYPL The Black Sea — one of the best places to see the stars in the world
travel_version Definitely Antarctica. Talk about the trip of a lifetime.
VaiViaBlog would have to be greece, cape town, ghana and nigeria, egypt, bali, fiji, tokyo, buenos aires, costa rica…to start with
Everywhere. But one destination captivating me the most lately is Sri Lanka.

I’m working on getting there. I have a plan. You’ll hear about it soon. 😉
Q2. Most disappointing item you’ve already scratched off your bucket list?
travoholic Ostrich riding… it was a bit anti-climactic.
WanderLoz Liverpool!! BEYOND disappointed. I gave up a Sat night in London for that?! At least we left early to get an extra night in Dublin.GetPackedTravel Beijing, horrible smog, horrible traffic — LOVED all the cultural & historical attractions but not planning a return tripWeekendInParis Athens dirty, sketchy cab drivers & lack of good restaurants. Depressing lack of care of national treasures!Mikeachim The Eurostar / Channel Tunnel. Wanted at least a blast of accordion music entering France. But, nothing.
Q3.Bucket List item have you scratched off that you’d love to repeat?
thesarahrose Summer in Tuscany. Summer in Tuscany. Summer in Tuscany.
Action_JoJo Drinking wine in the vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina w/ a view of the Andes
awanderluster Udaipur, Rajasthan. Sitting on a rooftop during Diwali!

StayAdventurous taking a year off for a #RTW travel sabbatical. I am ready for round2.
Last time in Vegas was my first time at Body English, the club at the Hard Rock Hotel. That is a rocking club with a different atmosphere from any of the others in Las Vegas. Can’t wait to return!

Q4. One person you’d take to experience your bucket list with?
Vagabond3Live someone with a Immigration fast pass
khegre Husband. He drives stick shift and I don’t, so that’s handy. Plus, you know, we’re in love.
kerrinsheldon Definitely Bear Grylls. Especially since I said I wanted to go deep into Iran… I’ll need him.
LocoGringoCom My dad, he gave up so much to raise us, I’d like to blow his mind
ZipSetAndrea Ewan MacGregor…sorry hubby! Did you see the reality show where he rode a motorcycle across Europe, Russia, Mongolia, etc? HOT
Bradley Cooper, David Beckham and the Old Spice Man.
Whoops! Wrong bucket list.
But seriously, the Old Spice Man! SWAN DIVE! What can’t he do?!
Q5. One thing you can’t wait to eat from a bucket list destination?
artofbackpackin In 30 days I’ll be eating at the Muslim night market in Xi’an, China.. hheckk yeaahh
DreamingNan Poutine. Seems horrible but it would mean I finally got to visit Quebec :))) (Good alternative : loads of stuff with mapple syrup)
travelerkate Being gluten-free makes it harder to eat the local fare, so I’ll stick to anywhere with good booze! Lemoncello, tequila, rum, vodka
MannySamaniego Ate whitefish sashimi that was prepared alive & swallowed beatng eel heart last week. Researching what I can do in Seoul this fall
20sTravel I’m going to eat EVERYTHING in Thailand. there will be none left for you.
You were all repulsed by my reply: a kind of cheese in Germany on which maggots first defecate, then die. Seriously. I read about it in a book. Also, when you’re done with this, check out The Six Most Terrifying Foods in the World .
Or — how about pho for breakfast in Vietnam?

Q6. How has your bucket list changed since you’ve started traveling?
clareappleyard It’s grown. Exponentially.
CascadiaKids My bucket list includes more local destinations. So much to explore in BC, WA & Oregon.
LandLopers Much more interested in the experiences when traveling now
travelswitheman I’m now considering places in the developing world. Places that creeped me out in my younger days.
GoOverseas Space, the final frontier!
Over the years, and especially after my Argentina trip, I’ve added a LOT more in Latin America — like the salt flats of Uyuni in Bolivia.

GothamGapGirl Seen the Sahara desert. Need to see icebergs in Antarctica.
MeganSterritt I’d LIKE to see the Great Barrier Reef though. Who’s coming with me?

Wanderingtradr Smack the naked cowboy on his butt and run… LOL
I’d like to race my sister from Anchorage to Ushaia, no planes allowed, each of us going in the opposite direction! Sibling rivalry, epic travel, and we’d meet up in the middle for a temporary truce! Perhaps the Corn Islands in Nicaragua?

Q9. Most unique to-do on bucket list?
just30something run my own coconut-bikini-company at a beach in thailand
meggroff @ gapadventures Voodoo Trail trip 2 Benin, Togo & Burk. Faso http://bit.ly/9mYQ1m [I’ve wanted to do this since they added it! Can’t get much more exotic than this!]
AppetiteforLife I’d like our family to live abroad during daughter’s teens. Maybe not unique but definitely the most challenging to make come true.
TripStyler Sheer a sheep in NZ and make a sweater out of it…
whereisyvette Join astronaut corps at NASA, be first person on Mars. Working towards my Astronomy PhD so it’s not TOTALLY impossible!
I’d like to visit Matera in the Basilicata region of Italy and spend the night in a sassi, or cave house. Sassi are carved into the hills there, and many have been turned into luxury hotels and hostels alike!

Q10. If you had 1 week to live, where would you go?
itsmescotty The doctor….
NinaDietzel Paris–lost my heart there once, will lose it again (in just 1 week)!
TravelSavvyKayt I keep saying Jordan. But it’s TRUE. I’d go to Jordan. Meditate in the desert. Go canyoning. Then hit a Dead Sea spa.
srmcculley Eat and drink myself to death in the French countryside
craftyxplorer A place to cure me so I can travel some more!
Not a fan of “if you had one week to live” questions (they make me so sad!), but it’s hard to argue with somewhere better than the Seychelles.
