21 things to add to your bucket list today!

Wanderlust. (n) a great desire to travel and rove about.  

I love to travel! Don’t we all. I’ve compiled a list of things I’d love to see and do plus places I want to visit in my lifetime.  Hopefully sooner rather than later.  I add to this list whenever I read about something or somewhere interesting or hear a story from a friend that just had an amazing vacation.  I can’t wait to complete this list!  What’s on your bucket list?
