I’VE been doing a lot of thinking lately about life in general and all the incredible things this world has to offer. If I’m being completely honest, which I am, it absolutely blew my mind.
In an attempt to structure my thoughts, I have decided to collate my ambitions and create a ‘bucket list’ which I have shared with you guys below. There are so many things that I want to do, I’m not sure if I will ever get chance to complete this list but here’s to trying to tick off as many of them as possible!
If you have done anything on this list then I would be eager to hear all about your experiences! Please share with me in the comment section or get in touch via the contact page.
In no particular order…

I love that you have so many places you want to travel! I’ve never been one for the travelling bug but I like to travel around the UK instead. I’m a fussy eater so I’m not crazy for the food list haha!

Very cool list. I noticed on Your list this:
11. Visit Lapland.
I can say that thank You, because I live in Finland and we love Lapland. In winter, it is Winter Wonderland.
I show to You some examples:
Reindeer race.
This race is open for everyone without any charge. It is unique in the world!
World’s Biggest Snow Castle.
Think – world’s biggest!
Arctic Circle in winter.
This is Winter Wonderland where You can meet Santa even in summer.
Happy and safe travels!

SnowCastle in February to mid-March.
Arctic Circle January -March.
Reindeer race on the first Saturday after mid-February.
All these places are quite near and easy to reach by train and busses.
Welcome next winter, especially to participate in Reindeer race. I could shoot photos from Your drive.
If hiking among free roaming reindeers, then best time is late August to mid-September.
