Let's Talk Travel-Part 1 (AKA in the next 37 years...)
About a month ago I was seriously wanting this book we saw for sale at the Oregon Zoo. It was (of course) very marked up, and I could not bring myself to spend $35 on it. On the way home, Barrett told me he found it for over $10 less on Amazon and it would be coming soon.
(The Bucket List: 1000 Adventures Big & Small; Hardcover; Editor - Kath Stathers).
I just completed this amazing book, well the first go round that is, and was excited to share how many bucket list travel items I have actually already completed in my 37 years. I also made a detailed list of no less than 35 countries or islands and a handful of states that are on my new and improved travel bucket list. I smiled at Barrett and told him, "I think we can accomplish this in the next 35 or so years..." Ah, what a patient man. Here are some items I have done that made the list of 1,000 bucket list items all over the world. This made me soooo grateful for what I have already experienced, and I highly recommend these activities (and this fun book). I also included a few recommendations that did not make the list of 1,000, but were awe-inspiring to me at the end. Thanks for reading!
These bucket list places or experiences made the book, and they are ALL amazing, I agree.
What I think SHOULD make the book (in my personal top travel bucket list items-in no particular order)
