Filling the #bucketlist

What places fill your #bucketlist

A co-worker saved up for 2 years so he and his wife could take an epic journey through Thailand. My good friend and his husband celebrated a milestone anniversary with a trip to Italy. Another friend met her sisters to tour around St. Augustine. My college besties are planning a girls weekend in Sedona. Our family took at staycation at the local beach.

At surface, these travel stories have nothing in common. But listening to each person talk about their trip and seeing the shared photos from their journey reveals the common thread—each person came back to “normal” life energized and with new perspectives about the world. These travels filled everyone with a sense of renewal.

There are thousands of pics and posts about #bucketlist travel, and there are hundreds of articles quoting the need for self care because you “can’t fill from an empty cup.” If we add these together, we see a real value of creating a #bucketlist, but all of us fill our buckets in different journeys.

So while Instagram may be filled with amazing #bucketlist trips, know that the beauty of travel is that it always serves to fill your bucket, whether your trip is across the globe or across town.
