Whenever your heart starts to beat faster if you think about something/hear about something that is your passion of life. For some it is family, for others to buy a Porsche, for some to write a book, for others to party through life, for some to run a marathon, for others to collect stamps… for me it is TRAVELLING.
Here are what I would like to see/experience/complete in life. Many I have already done, many are still to be checked off. One lifetime is not enough to see all these, but I like to dream big….
So you can find here my Travel Bucket List, the things to do before I kick the bucket:
