If you are reading this, congratulations, you survived 2020! But now we have all started a new year and that means setting new bucket list goals for 2021! 2020 was a hard year for us as it was for many of you!

Editor’s Note: The Bucket List Guide to Iceland’s Outdoor Adventures was originally published October 2016 and has recently been updated and revised for accuracy and comprehensiveness. As I shared in my previous article, The Bucket List Guide to Reykjavik, Iceland is a land of unbelievable adventure, great food, and amazing beauty! There was an overwhelming sense of discovery everywhere I went. It was weird because every time I saw a waterfall, the coastline, or some other landmark, it was as…
There is no doubt that 2020 has been a stressful year for everyone. With the pandemic, forced quarantines, and the overall need to stay healthy, travel has not been a priority for most. However, even before the pandemic hit, Americans in particular often failed to utilize all of their vacation days. According to Expedia’s 2013 Vacation Deprivation study, 60% of Americans wanted to take a vacation but never went. This led to over half a billion vacation days in 2013…

So let’s dive into why you should consider adding either “Start Running” or “Run a Race” to your…
Admittedly, we women can be hard to shop for. Unless the woman in your life is willing to give you a detailed list of what she wants and where to get it, she’s likely to be disappointed with at least one gift this year. We are complex, with a wide range of interests and hobbies. Those of us who are working to tick specific items off our bucket lists can be even harder to shop for – especially if it…

Sadly, like many of you, we haven’t been able to scratch too many places off our travel tracker world map this year. Stupid 2020! However, there is a bright side.

In America, we may love football and enjoy basketball, but there is no doubt that baseball is still our true love. This is probably because from a very early age, both boys and girls play hit the dirt fields of their local parks. But maybe it is more about the bonds that baseball creates. Whether you are watching your favorite team on the couch with friends or taking part in the 7th inning stretch with your dad at a famous…
It’s no secret Asia is the place to go for travelling. Perhaps, that is why we have it on our Adventure Travel Bucket List. It’s a continent full of diversity and beauty, with opportunities to either lay back and relax or explore all it has to offer. For the latter, hiking is perhaps the best way to see the landscape in all its glory – here is just a small selection of some of the best Asian destinations perfect for…
Minimalist travel is all the rage these days. Whether you are heading for a weekend getaway or trying to tick off one of the major items on your Travel Bucket list, people are looking for ways to pack lighter and smarter.
