Clear skies, dark months, and most people waiting several cold nights for one good hour. Add to my list - [Walk the Camino de Santiago (800km across Spain)](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/walk-the-camino-de-santiago-800km-across-spain) Roughly five weeks from the French border, and your feet set the schedule. Beds in albergues cost a few euros. Add to my list - [Safari in the Serengeti at sunrise](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/safari-in-the-serengeti-at-sunrise) A cold open-sided jeep and a 5am start, because the cats hunt before the heat arrives and then sleep. Add to my list - [Visit all seven wonders of the world](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/visit-all-seven-wonders-of-the-world) Petra, the Colosseum, Chichen Itza, Christ the Redeemer, the Great Wall, Machu Picchu, the Taj. Four continents, years of planning. Add to my list - [See the cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/see-the-cherry-blossoms-in-kyoto-japan) Peak bloom lasts about a week and shifts by a fortnight each year. Book early, then accept the forecast moves. Add to my list - [Drive Route 66 end to end across America](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/drive-route-66-end-to-end-across-america) Chicago to Santa Monica, about 2,400 miles. Much of it is now frontage road, faded neon, and towns the interstate skipped. Add to my list - [Spend a week in Antarctica](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/spend-a-week-in-antarctica) Two days crossing the Drake Passage before you see land. Expensive, tightly seasonal, and the seasickness is not a rumour. Add to my list - [Swim in the Dead Sea](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/swim-in-the-dead-sea) Ten times saltier than the ocean, so you float without trying. Any cut on your skin will announce itself. Add to my list - [Watch the sunrise from Machu Picchu, Peru](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/watch-the-sunrise-from-machu-picchu-peru) The first bus out of Aguas Calientes leaves before 5am and the queue starts earlier. Cloud often wins anyway. Add to my list - [Take the Trans-Siberian Railway across Russia](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/take-the-trans-siberian-railway-across-russia) Seven days, eight time zones, a samovar at the end of each carriage. Bring food, cards, and low expectations of privacy. Add to my list - [Sail the Greek Islands for a week](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/sail-the-greek-islands-for-a-week) Short hops between anchorages, meltemi winds through August, dinner wherever you tie up. Crewed charters exist if you cannot sail. Add to my list - [See the Great Barrier Reef](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/see-the-great-barrier-reef) 1,400 miles of coral, roughly half the cover lost since 1995. Go to the outer reef, not the day-tour pontoons. Add to my list - [Visit the Taj Mahal at dawn](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/visit-the-taj-mahal-at-dawn) Gates open at sunrise and the marble runs pink to white within an hour. Closed Fridays for prayer. Add to my list - [Explore the Amazon rainforest](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/explore-the-amazon-rainforest) Humidity you wear, and most wildlife heard rather than seen. A local guide is the difference between a green wall and a forest. Add to my list - [See the midnight sun in Scandinavia](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/see-the-midnight-sun-in-scandinavia) Above the Arctic Circle in June the sun never drops. Sleep becomes a decision instead of a response. Add to my list - [Visit every continent](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/visit-every-continent) Including Antarctica if you can. Each one has a climate, a culture, a geometry that's unlike anywhere else. Add to my list - [Road trip across New Zealand](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/road-trip-across-new-zealand) Both islands in three weeks is rushing. South Island distances look small on the map and drive twice as long. Add to my list - [See the Pyramids of Giza](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/see-the-pyramids-of-giza) They stand at the edge of Cairo's sprawl, not alone in empty desert. Built before the last mammoths died. Add to my list - [Trek to Everest Base Camp](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/trek-to-everest-base-camp) Twelve days up, four down, and 5,364 metres doing most of the work on your lungs. Altitude ignores fitness. Add to my list - [Visit the temples of Angkor Wat, Cambodia](https://significanthobbies.com/experiences/visit-the-temples-of-angkor-wat-cambodia) Over 400 square kilometres of ruins. Three days barely covers it, and the crowds thin sharply by mid-afternoon.
