I know. I hear ya. Not another bucket list. But hey, this list is about my bucket list trips. Although it seems a bit cliché, the fact stands that there are several things I want to do before my travel time is up. Also, I enjoy a good list – and by looking at the internet, you do to.
Note that this index of Bucket List Trips is ongoing and growing. My mother has always said that “I want it all” to which I have always thought, “why not?” Most people pick one thing or another. They sacrifice X for Y. I have always said, why not both? Why can’t I do it all? With that in mind, I started this list – and couldn’t stop.
And I won’t.
There will always be something new to see, do, or experience.
What I did find while compiling this collection of Bucket List Trips is that I have seen a lot. I looked to other travel blog sites for inspiration. I was a little shocked by what I found, namely, I have checked off a lot of things that were common on their lists. It made me realize that I have done a lot and seen a lot – which is great, and I am grateful for what I have been able to do. That said, the world is big and I have only scratched the surface.
