My best friend has emigrated to Australia permanently and as part of her visa application she had to list all the countries she had been visited in the last 10 years. I took this challenge on (harder than you think) and found that since the age of 13 I have been to 39 destinations, 18 different counties. It made me think of how privileged I am, and in fact how well travelled my generation really is.
But it got me to thinking about what I've done but more importantly what I want to do and see. I decided to make my very own Bucket List which hopefully I can tick off at some point in my life.
