My Bucket List

I’ll let you in on a little secret…

Okay, it is actually quite an extensive, arm-long secret. And probably not that secret after all. But here it is: my bucket list. The things I dream of, the places I want to go and the things I want to do. And yes, some of them I have done already, but I will keep them on here as a reminder that dreams come true.

Just a side note: I couldn’t decide how I want to sort this list. I landed on “by country” (not too vague, to too detailed), which means this list is quite long. At the same time I get to go into some detail. Of course I don’t have everything on here yet, and that means that some countries have not been covered at all. If you have suggestions, please send me a comment. I will complement my list over time, or at least use your ideas for some itineraries to share on this site. I also add some links to interesting websites with more information about some of the sites.

MAKE A BUCKET LIST AND FILL IT WITH DREAMS THAT HAVE NO BOUNDARIES.

Happy travel-dreaming
