I am determined to do or see these things before I die – or do something that comes as close as possible to what may be unrealistic. 😉
(Side note: I decided very early that I wanted to see the whole world once. So I don’t include countries that I want to visit in general, but only specific locations and activities to shorten the list a little.)
