The Travel Bucket List

"Travel while you're young and able. 

Don't worry about the money, just make it work. 

Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be."

The more I travel and the more famous landmarks I witness with my own eyes, the hungrier I get to escape to new places. So I've made a 'travel'  bucket list…. of landmarks, cities and countries. It not unrealistic… just 20 destinations I hope to cross off in the next hmmmm….. five years (would be nice).

1. Bali, (maybe a little yoga retreat).                                     
2. New York
3. Egypt (The Pyramids) 
4. Stockholm 
5. Los Angeles 
6. Sydney - The Opera House
7. Athens
8. Croatia
9. Rome
10. Beijing
11. The Taj Mahal 
12. Christ the Redeemer & Copacabana Beach
13. San Francisco
14. The Great Barrier Reef
15. Hawaii (who doesn't?)
16. Budapest 
17. Lisbon 
18. Cape Town (thanks to Ben Brown)
19. Dubai
20. Barcelona

What do you think? Good list? Better than yours? 

Time to get travel planning….

The Vatican City // Rome - Italian Adventures Part 6

Wherever you are in Rome, you cannot escape its architectural beauty... but the Vatican and its surroundings were something else. By my third day in Rome I found myself glancing over  'just another amazing building' but here I was forced to admire and be completely blown away.
This was the last day of my 10 days in Italy - time to pack, fly, appreciate and plan my next adventure.

The Colosseum // Rome - Italian Adventure Part 5

This trip to Rome would not have been the same without seeing the colosseum. Myself and Thomas woke up bright and early to avoid the queues and had the most amazing hour exploring the ruins and soaking up its beauty. I've been fortunate enough to see some major/famous landmarks in my short 19 years but never experience something quite like this.

 

Travelling to Rome - Italian Adventures Part 4

It was time to leave Federico and his lovely little villa to make the four hour trip to Rome. Two hours down and we found a beautiful harbour just a few miles from Orbetello Island. Have I been holidaying in the wrong place?! It wasn't long before we were back on the road and arriving in Roma!!

Rome, the Eternal City was just magical. Surrounded by the treasures and masterpieces of Roman art and architecture it is possibly the most beautiful city I've ever been seen. It was time to explore…

Florence - Italian Adventures Part 3

The villa was approximately 1.5 hours from Florence. And although grey clouds were looming it didn't stop the cities beauty shining through. Amazing architecture, art, ice-cream and shopping… I highly recommend Florence with surprises round every corner.
