Bucket List

Most people have a bucket list of some sort – things they want to do in life before they kick the proverbial bucket. What I have found, is that travellers seem to have a much bigger bucket list than most other people. Like an insatiable appetite to try new things, experience all the world has to offer… or something like that. So here is some of my bucket list, my list of things I want to do as a traveller. I’m sure I will change my mind about some of these things, so I will update my bucket list as my life changes, taking things off I’ve decided I don’t really want to do, adding new experiences that I do want to etc. I’ll even try and organise them into categories for ease of viewing
If you have any suggestions of things you think I should add to this list, contact me and let me know.
