One of the questions we get quite often is “how do you afford to travel so much?” With the high cost of airfare these days, the question is not surprising. However, with a lot of research, I have developed a personal strategy to help me save money on flights to various bucket list locations. I have compiled it all into one place to make it easier for you to travel to your own bucket list destinations. So, here is The…
A Bucket List Dream: Riding in the Upper Deck of a Boeing 747 There are a lot of “Bucket List” things I’ve dreamed about doing but one of them that I never thought I’d actually be able to do was ride in the upper deck of a Boeing 747. It’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little kid but as I’ve gotten older and airlines increasingly started retiring them my hope for making it happen began to dwindle….
About 10 years ago, a group of crazy people calling themselves ‘The Adventurists’ created an insane 14-day Bucket List adventure race – The Rickshaw Run. Essentially, they created an adventure where participants drive a 3-wheeled Tuk Tuk (a tricycle with an engine) across all of India. The catch? Well, no one knows what will happen during the race or if they’ll even make it to the finish line. If you are crazy enough to enter this insane adventure race, you…

People are often asking me how I learn about these crazy adventures, experiences, or places to travel that are on my Bucket List. Well, the internet of course! I not only scour the internet but I subscribe to numerous travel and adventure blogs out there to learn about the world. That is how I found out about The Travel Whispers Blogger Challenge!

It’s that time again, time for reflecting and planning out my 2017 Bucket List Hopes and Goals! I was home from India for barely a week when I started getting that same damn question, “So what’s next on the Bucket List Project?” It is a question that sometimes bothers me. I appreciate that people are excited for the next adventure (as am I), but sometimes I just want the chance to enjoy the items previously accomplished and tell that story before moving…
“Since we are going to be India for the Rickshaw Run, we should probably see the Taj Mahal. I mean it is on my Bucket List and I can’t imagine coming back to India just to see the Taj Mahal.” This was the conversation that Darcee and I had with pretty much everyone we talked to before leaving for our epic Rickshaw Run across India. It was as if one of the most recognizable buildings in the world was a…
Merriam-Webster defines an “adventurer” as someone who likes dangerous or exciting experiences; a person who looks for adventures!

I would spend hours scouring the internet, reading about the experiences of other “adventurers.” Many of these adventure activities and travels were typical to a person with wanderlust. However, there is one adventure that caught my eye and has totally stoked the…
