In lieu of a “travel bucket list,” which sounds like something you have to do because you have limited time (on your trip? in life?), I have a collection of adventures I’d like to take and experiences I’d like to have. This is a non-exhaustive, ever-evolving list. Because really, if I’m being honest, I want to go everywhere and do ALL THE THINGS.
- Run in every country
- Send a postcard home from every itinerary stop
- Take the train as often as possible
Southeast Asia:
- Take a cooking class in Thailand
- Visit an elephant sanctuary in Cambodia
- Attend a festival and a religious ceremony
- Go fishing or catch dinner
- Eat a food that makes me cringe
- Have a meal with a family
- Take a boat ride
- Drive a motorcycle in Vietnam
- Surf, kayak, & snorkel
- Hike & climb
- Sit on a quiet beach
- Watch a muay thai fight (or better yet, participate)
- Walk the sky bridge in Langkawi, Malaysia
New Zealand & Australia:
- Bungee jump
- Ride a horse
- Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef
- Drive and camp along the coast

Future:
