**Why My Travel Bucket List Will Never Be Completed**

Once upon a time (okay, like five years ago), I sat down with a glass of wine and an unreasonable sense of ambition to write my travel bucket list. Fifty places. Cute, right? Well — fast forward to today, and not only have I barely made a dent, but the list has tripled in size.

Spoiler alert: I’ll never finish it. And honestly, I don’t want to.

Because Every Trip Adds 5 More Places

Ever book a trip to Paris and then someone’s like, “Well, if you’re going to Paris, you HAVE to go to Provence… and then you might as well hit Lake Como… oh, and Vienna is just a short flight away!”

Before you know it, your romantic weekend turns into a month-long European escape, and you’ve spent more time on [KiwiTaxi](https://kiwitaxi.tp.st/cI2Zkn9s) and [WayAway](https://wayaway.tp.st/a3ky7N3D) than you have sleeping.

Because New Experiences Keep Popping Up

When I started, I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, swim in the Maldives, and take a gondola ride in Venice. Now? I want to sleep in a glass igloo under the Northern Lights, ride a vintage motorcycle in Vietnam, and eat bizarre street food in Mexico City.

And let’s be honest — if you’re booking quirky adventures like that, [Trip.com](https://trip.tp.st/LGkRYPEA) is your new best friend.

Because I Love Travel Disasters (And Writing About Them)

For every serene sunset in Bali, there’s a disastrous cooking class in Bangkok or a goat that chased me through a market in Morocco. Would I change a single thing? Absolutely not.

And if you’re traveling as chaotically as me, make sure you’re covered with [VisitorsCoverage](https://visitorscoverage.tp.st/YjSIozxi) travel insurance, because it’s all fun and games until someone needs stitches.

Because Flights Keep Getting Cheaper

Thanks to [Aviasales](https://aviasales.tp.st/1OvJR03a) and [EconomyBookings](https://economybookings.tp.st/bRR16EhB), I find deals so good, I book trips just because they're cheap. Did I need to visit Iceland last March for \$300 round-trip? Nope. Did I do it anyway? Absolutely.

Because the World Is Too Big, and I’m Too Nosy

I can’t help myself. I see a photo, read a blog, or get unsolicited advice from a stranger on a train, and suddenly it’s on the list. My curiosity’s a full-time job.

Need help managing your growing list? [WeGoTrip](https://wegotrip.tp.st/YVL5ihrF) has guided tours and unique local experiences to check off faster than you can add them.

Quick Travel Tools I Swear By

* [Airalo](https://airalo.tp.st/YSJ1DHLl): eSIM cards so I’m never without WiFi for those spontaneous Google Maps searches.

* [Radical Storage](https://radicalstorage.tp.st/tIES5ra9): Drop your bags and go.

* [BikesBooking](https://bikesbooking.tp.st/lzXnwZrC): Because sometimes you need a scooter in Santorini.

* [MillionaireMatch](https://www.millionairematch.com/millionaire-dating.html?tid=af100006542-pr): Because who says you can't find a sugar daddy/mama while country-hopping?
