Our Travel Bucket List

by Brandon Cook

With international travel off the menu for the next little while at least I've taken the time to re-evaluate my travel bucket list and add a few more items. I've included the full list below and will be looping back with tips and tricks for all the ones that I've already completed as time permits. 

The list reflects a lot of our specific interests so it might not appeal to everyone but if you have a destination that you'd recommend drop it in the comments. You'll see a lot of museums, aviation, astronomy and technology stuff on the list so if those specifically interest you it might be worth copying.

At a high level the list can be divided into two major categories: Destinations, and Events and Activities. Destinations are typically the easiest in that they only require you to travel somewhere. Events and Activities can be a lot more challenging in that you probably need to travel somewhere at a potentially specific time and then hope that the weather and other factors go your way.

In terms of how to start crossing items off the list I find that planning trips specifically around events and activities then fitting as many destinations into them is the way to go since events are just that much harder to actually make happen.

Over time we'll be adding posts on places we've been as well as the tips and tricks we've learned. We'll also be posting about trips we are planning so follow us on Twitter and Instagram to stay in touch.
