We’ve all got a bucket list, but have you heard of an anti bucket list? This is a reverse bucket list, highlighting things that are usually seen on people’s lists of things to do before they die, but are actually things you don’t want to do…or do again.
Many of us have the same things on our bucket lists when it comes to travel – visit Petra, hike to Macchu Picchu, or see the Colosseum in Rome, for example.
