I'm going to tell you about my travel bucket list: all the destinations I dream of ________ and the experiences I want ________ in my lifetime. As you know, I love ________, so my first wish is to go to Peru to walk along the Inca trail and visit Machu Picchu, the 'Lost City of the Incas' and one of the world's most enigmatic sites. If I ________ enough money with my part-time job, I ________ plan this trip by the end of university, even ________ it's difficult to start doing it right now with all the expenses I have! The second experience on my list is ________ and snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the largest living coral reef system. Great, isn't it? If you know me well, you ________ the third destination: yes, it's the Great Wall of China, a country that fascinates me. Perhaps I'll decide ________ along it, or perhaps not – there are cable cars and even toboggans to reach some of the most famous spots, from where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the mountain scenery. These are my top three destinations, then I'd also love to go on a boat tour in the lagoon of Bora Bora in French Polynesia, admire the sunrise over the Haleakala volcano in Hawaii, attend a Caribbean carnival in Trinidad and Tobago and so on. I can keep ________ for hours… I really love travelling!
