If you’ve got a life-goal, chances are, someone on TravelPod has already done it! Here’s part four of things to do before you die, as compiled by TravelPod members.

31. Diving in Antarctica

Blairn99 went diving in the frigid Antarctic

The depth was only around 15m and the vis is much better. There were hundreds of star fish lots of Kelp weed again and an iceberg that had grounded right in the middle of where we were diving. – Blairn99

32. Learn another language

Wolfieboy69 went to Buenos Aires to learn Spanish

If the Spanish lessons had proved a thorn in my side then there was a silver lining, which was getting to know some of the students in the other classes and I thoroughly enjoyed their company. – Wolfieboy69

33. Travel by yourself

Jack of Laurenandjack continued on his own through India

I am now traveling alone, as Lauren decided to go home. I wanted to keep going to experience solo travel and to see the sights of the south. I miss Lauren dearly, but I must say I am having a great time going solo. Being alone makes for many more opportunities to meet interesting people and change my mind on a whim. I have met more people out here than I can count, sometimes I’ll make a friend and we’ll travel together for a day or so or until our itineraries branch. I continue to be reunited with people I’ve met and last seen hundreds of kilometers away. – Laurenandjack

34. Experience Beatlemania in Liverpool

Ohh the Beatles pilgrimage- a highly necessary excursion on my British invasion tour. – Kaylashoe

35. Visit Stonehenge

Alanna.holloway was disappointed by Stonehenge

In the afternoon I went out to Stonehenge which was on my to do list before i left the UK. This was actually pretty disappointing – it is an amazing monument but you can’t actually get anywhere neat it and you can’t walk through it. Also there are tourists everywhere. oh well – still was something I had to do. – Alanna.holloway

36. Shop at Portobello Road Market

Jennie's Portobello Road Market treasures

First stop was Portobello Road Market!  The holy grail of all flea markets/antique shops.  The road went on for blocks and blocks and we didn’t see all of it, much less all of the shops along the road. – Jennie

37. Explore London’s sites, sounds and fun stuff

Ethansamjencol visits Tower Bridge

After lunch we caught the river boat town to tower bridge (much to Ethans delight) and then did a tour of London Bridge.  We also saw it open right up and let a cruise ship through. – Ethansamjencol

38. Try the Amsterdam cafes and brownies

Ksunderhill tried the space cake and lived to tell the tale

Two hours and 1 and a half space cakes later, chocolate was the winner in my book, we or at least I am completely in my happy place. Must say this is just what I remember from college, totally relaxed, feeling like I am floating. Trying to type right is posing a very challenging task. – Ksunderhill

39. Gamble in Las Vegas

Semi-backpacker's friend, Caro gambles in Vegas

Caro gambled a big $1.00 and I gambled a whopping $5.00. Hey, like I said, we were on a budget! – Semi-backpacker

40. See the Grand Canyon by helicopter

Brent-n-toby over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter

Our helicopter ride took us into the canyon below the rim level, the drop as you pass the edge of the canyon is spectacular, one minute you are skimming the trees then the ground just drops away as you swoop down the canyon. – Brent-n-toby
