After 25 years of travel, you think you’ve seen it all, but there’s still plenty of experiences still to tick off our travel bucket list.

If I was starting all over again, knowing all I know now, what experiences would I really say are bucket list worthy?

Some of the usual bucket list items that people do have proven to be overrated for me (such as seeing the Grand Canyon), and some of the experiences I’ve had I’ve felt should be bucket list worthy after I’ve done it, without realizing how cool they are at the time.

You also learn a lot about yourself and your ability to change, live in the moment, and adapt to a new life.

You also get to meet other travellers and likeminded people. The friendships you make as an expat are the kind of friendships that last a lifetime.

It doesn’t matter where you choose to live, just make sure it’s different from your home country.

Getting around is an adventure, to say the least. You need to be prepared to rough it, and you will encounter challenges along the way.

It’s not an experience for the faint hearted, but if you’re looking to put yourself out of your comfort zone, then traveling around Africa should be a bucket list experience to remember.

3. Backpack Southeast Asia

Everyone needs to backpack Southeast Asia at least once in their life. It’s a traveler’s rite of passage.

You might think that spending a year traveling around Asia and living out of a backpack is only a trip for 18 year olds on their gap year…
