Whether
it is for inspiration or motivation, or you’re just planning your next trip —
this list might be exactly what you need. After watching a movie, I love searching for the beautiful places I've seen in it and adding them to my bucket list. I always feel so inspired to get out of the
comfort zone and to plan an adventure where there will be no regrets, no matter
how hard the way might be.
