Have you seen the movie The Bucketlist with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman?
If you haven’t, I highly recommend you do! It is one of my all-time favorite travel movies! I sure hope it will motivate you to go out into the world, explore and discover.
I have always made a habit of writing down exactly where I wanted to travel. I believe this formula has been quite successful since I have been very fortunate.
Life has been incredibly good to me. In the past decade, I have visited 30 countries in 4 continents and there’s many more to come!
Its pretty much the law of attraction but written down on paper or stored electronically in this case.
I have even created a wallpaper to constantly remind me about it and of course daydream (it doesn’t hurt one bit, right?)
Travel is really necessary. Not only then will you be able to get to know more about yourself and others but you will truly appreciate who & what you have in your life.
It takes time, planning, dedication and some discipline. Like any other goal in life, the more you focus on it the faster you will reach it. Don’t you think?
Leaving your comfort zone might be scary but try it! Getting to know other people and cultures is totally rewarding and life-changing! Not to mention the incredible memories you take back with you!
I invite you to take a look at my Buckelist. Why not create your own? Give it a go!
I look forward to read your lists!
Til next time.
L♥ve always,
Kay 🙂
