My ultimate Travel Bucket list 2017

During my travels, I have realised that the effect of travel on your life is not about how intense or exciting a particular event or experience may appear. It is about the consistency of these experiences, however intense and life-changing they appear, the more consistently you have these experiences, the more consistently your perspective on life is changed and renewed. Every time that I pack my suitcase and I am handed over my boarding pass I know that from the moment I step off that plane at my destination that my life will evolve in some way. As I am now learning to shy away from the constant need for perfection and embrace my shortcomings I am reminded of the art of kintsugi; making art of that which is broken. In the same way, I am turning my imperfections and all of my experiences, in whatever way they may quantify to gold! In the spirit of making the most out of every day and every moment I have written down my travel bucket list for the rest of 2017:
