I don't have much of a bucket list. I've even added some things to it after I've done them just so I can cut them off! 😁
My list
- Seeing a tiger in the wild > Made it to India. Made it to Rajasthan. Didn't get to a tiger reserve
- Seeing a snow leopard in the wild > I might have to strike this off because the chances of me making it to Siberia are slender than slim I reckon. I did see a snow leopard in the Geneva zoo. That should count for something right?
- Gazing upon a living fossil > Tuatara. New Zealand. Check.
- Stepping inside "the world's most luxurious hotel" Burj Al Arab
- Taking a dip in the infinity pool atop Marina Bay Sands
- Visiting the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium > There's a photograph of my father in front of this structure from the 80s, which stuck with me. Six years ago, I took my own.
- Seeing a glacier > Been to the site of a former glacier in Lucerne, Switzerland and to the Franz Josef glacier in New Zealand, so I think I may be allowed to cross this off
- Trying unusual dishes from different cultures > I do enjoy culinary adventures but not being a voracious meat eater, I don't go on too wild an adventure .. So, this is an entry with a personal twist.
The accidental additions are
- Taking a sleeper train > Travelled overnight by Livitrans Express from Hanoi to Sapa, Vietnam
- Going up in a hot air balloon > Did it right here in dear ol' Sri Lanka!
- Visiting some of the best chocolate producing nations > You'd think a chocoholic would have already had this on their list but noooo. Only after I'd been to a few of them did I think it best to put it on there
- Visiting Halong Bay > Watching the sun set over the bay while bobbing about in the water as flying fish sail past you has got to be one of the most amazing experiences in the world!
