I first published my bucket list late last year and as with all things travel it’s snowballed since I’ve been back on the road backpacking again!
I’ve added a few things here and there, some that I hadn’t considered putting on the list until I actually booked to do them and some on the recommendation of backpacking buddies.
This year has also seen me tick quite a few items off the list too, like working as a surf instructor, hiking the inca trail, visiting somewhere landlocked (in fact I’ve done that twice this year now with Laos and Switzerland!) and going tubing in Vang Vieng!
So I thought it was about time to do a large post update to my bucket list. I’ve added them to the original list but I thought I’d give them their own blog post too! Some I’ve already ticked off and some are now firmly on the to do list!
60) Sail in the Galapagos Islands – DONE, and here are some of my top shots!
61) Ski in the Alps – I’ve snowboarded now, skiing is in the pipeline!
62) Gorge on Swiss chocolate – DONE, uggggh I felt sick!
63) Find an island paradise – DONE, Koh Rong in Cambodia was AMAZING!
64) Book a spontaneous trip – DONE, I randomly decided to head to Switzerland!
65) Travel properly with my brother
66) Hike on a glacier
67) Inspire one of my buddies to book a RTW trip – nearly done, she’s planning it now!
68) Travel only on hand luggage for half a year
69) Get in a travel blog press trip

81) Learn to snowboard properly – I did some lessons this weekend, but I still have a way to go!
82) Camp in the outback

86) White water raft the Grand Canyon
87) Explore Hawaii

Any of you guys already done some of the above? Anything more I should add?!
I did the Liberty Wreck in Bali and it was pretty damn awesome! Walk in from the sea, come face to face with a giant barracuda and see the guns still on the ship – great stuff :D
so jealous Toni – wish I’d got round to doing it when I was actually in Bali, got distracted by surf though! Oh well, a good excuse to go back!
