Our bucket list is a never-ending work-in-progress. What began back in 1996 as a short-list of trip ideas has morphed into an ever-expanding collection of overstuffed notebooks and spreadsheets on all things travel. Ideas for epic multi-year journeys. Notes on places we'd like to live. Sketches of potential vehicles we hope to employ on future trips.

As Sheri and I often say, the world only seems to grow larger as we spend more time on the road. And as the world expands, so does our list. That said, there's no way to capture all our ideas here. Rather, what follows are the "Cliff Notes". A quick-and-dirty summary of our high-level travel goals and top bucket list items.

We've included our top 250 bucket list items, which are divided into six categories: Top 25 Epic Journeys; Top 25 Places to Live, Work, & Study; Top 50 Wildlife Experiences; Top 50 Outdoor Adventures; Top 50 Places to Explore; Top 50 Epic Drives/Rides).

To view a list, click on a category below. If we've completed an item, we've noted it with a strikethrough. In some cases, we've written a blog post that discusses a bucket list item in greater detail and provides useful planning information and links.
