Hopefully the majority of us have some
sort of “Bucket List” we’d like to complete before our time comes. Mine range
from the silly to the impossible. It’s a long list (ok, novel), and a lot has
to do with travel.
When jotting down the places I would
love to see, the so called “list” became overwhelming. So I’ve narrowed it down to the
places that appealed to me the most.
As the months go by I’m sure it will
grow, but for now, here you go.... my ever growing “Travel-Bucket-List.”
Adventures:
Cage diving with sharks.
See a volcano erupt in person, at a
reasonable distance. Or just see lava.

Expedition- See a glacier up-close.

The ruins of the Temple of Artemis, at Selçuk, Turkey.
Walking the length of The Great Wall of China
A tour of Petra, Jordan.
Europe:
Ireland. Don’t even ask why.

person, hopefully in Sweden.
