| My Bucket List is more of a set of desired travel related targets, various reward goals as I progress through life. Some are more achievable than others, but if you never set a goal, how can you know you have achieved ? |
| |
|
| If you are looking for a theme to this list, I suppose chasing autumns & winters would sum it up. |
| |
|
| My desire is to witness the extraordinary, immerse myself wherever possible in the local culture, and take nothing for granted. A combination of some budget travel, with the odd indulgence, hopefully meeting wonderful & interesting people along the way. |
