I wrote my first travel bucket list when I was 19 years old, but since then the damn thing just keeps getting longer.
More often than not, instead of ticking something off the list, I am rapidly adding to it. Haphazardly scrawling down the names of festivals or places, somewhere in the world described to my fellow travelers over cheap local beer. On top of shared travel stories from the road - articles, photos and travel blogs of far off, little known places suddenly surface and I keep thinking "I need to go there!" or "I need to do that!"
So this is really my never ending bucket list.
It is all the places I want to see, all the mountains I want to climb, all the festivals I want to dance at and all the experiences I want to encounter.
