So I've been working on some Galavanting destination stuff and realized it's been years since I've updated my own Travel Bucket List. The places I must see before I die -- and the things I've just gotta learn, which only locations other than my home can teach me.
As a travel writer, a web series host, and just plain journey junkie, I've done a lot of awesome stuff, but there's so much more to see! No better time than now to update my list...
