Of course, no one has 18 bucket lists!

Total = 100 (I have seen 43) I should also note that my list has changed over the years — I have added more places as I have been traveling, since travel has become my passion. If I had presented my original Travel Bucket List, I would probably have checked off 80% of the destinations. Now, however, I have well-defined goals and much work to do to whittle this list down before I die..
