What Is Your Bucket List?

First of all, I wrote down anything I could imagine wanting to do once in my life and after that I also read some books and blogs to see what we must definitely NOT miss on this fabulous world, like lonely planet’s ‘1000 ultimate experiences’ or ‘100 places you must have seen’ from Floortje Dessing and many many similar themed blogs.
