This Bucket List is ever changing, so I’ll be updating this regularly. As a plus-size traveler, I have a few specific destinations on my bucket list, but most of theseare general interest.

Anyway, here’s what’s on the bucket list today:

• Visit Antartica. (This is my 7th and final continent, and I’m planning to go the backpack route via Ushuaia… tips welcome if anyone’s done it!)
• Return to Chefchaouen, Morocco (one of my favorite places on Earth!)
• Play with elephants in Southeast Asia. Yes, I am the one person in the world who visited Thailand and did not visit the elephants. When I was in Chiang Mai, the only elephant sanctuary that seemed ethical was booked up in advance and I didn’t get to go! I did see some very happy wild elephants in Sri Lanka, though. 🙂
• Visit every Canadian province.
• Float in the Dead Sea
• Own my own boat and successfully singlehand on a solo journey. (I can sail, but I haven’t sailed long distance by myself, and it’s a dream of mine.)
• Go to Carnival in Brazil. (I feel like Brazil should be on every plus size bucket list, because they appreciate curves like no other culture!)
• Volcano-board in Nicaragua. This looks amazing, and is only low-key dangerous. Sort of.
• Visit Cape Town.
• Visit Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. I don’t even know if this is a cool destination – I just thought it sounded awesome when I was six. I was unsuccessful in talking my parents into taking us there, and now that I’m a grown-up, I feel like I should check it off.
• Walk across the equator on foot.
• Swim in Jellyfish Lake in Palau.
• Dogsled in Alaska
• Write a memoir. You know I’m gonna. 😉
• Visit all of the bone churches….  I saw Sedlec Ossuary in Czech Republic, and it was transformative.
• Sleep in an Ice Hotel!
• Visit the catacombs in Paris
• Make my way to Greenland.
• Rent a room in Istanbul and do some writing there. Don’t ask me why I know I’d get a lot of writing done in Istanbul… I just do.
• Sunbathe at every topless beach I can find.
• See the canals and eat all of the dumplings in Suzhou, China.
• Do an extended European burlesque tour. It’s the damndest thing, but for all the traveling I’ve done, I’ve hardly spent any time in Europe at all. I know amazing performers and venues there… I just need to muster the organizational capability to plan another tour!

What’s on your bucket list? I’d love to hear!
