Bucket List

99 places and experiences I want to see before I'm done wandering.

Ever since I was 16, I’ve kept a list. Not on paper β€” in my head, then eventually on my phone, then on scraps of paper stuffed into a drawer. Places I saw in magazines, destinations friends mentioned, corners of the world that made me stop scrolling and just stare.

Some of them I’ve ticked off, sometimes in ways I never imagined. Some are booked, planned, and quietly terrifying me. And some β€” honestly β€” feel like they belong to another version of me, a braver one, a richer one, or just a future one who finally ran out of excuses.

This is that list. All 99 of them. The ones with the green checkmark? Done. The black and white ones? Still waiting for me.

And then there’s number 100. The one I keep moving to the bottom of the list, not because I’ve forgotten it β€” but because it feels almost too big to write down. It’s the kind of dream that makes you laugh a little when you say it out loud, and then go quiet when you realise you actually mean it.

🧊 Cruise to Antarctica

The last great wilderness. The end of the world. Number 100 β€” and the biggest challenge on this entire list.
