Every traveller (and non travellers alike) has a list. Some call it a bucket list. Others a someday list. Some just list making lists at an attempt to organize their travel desires. I fall into the latter category. I make lists for everything, so why not a travel list? Here is my ever growing list of things I want to eat, see and do via travel.
The more I see of the world, the more I want to see more of it. It seems every day I’m adding more stuff to this. What’s on your list?
