Composing a travel bucket list is not an easy task when you are interested in literally everything. I mean it. Discovering touristy places like Paris or Rome till exploring the communist past (and somewhat – present) of Belarus – we are equally eager to experience everything our beautiful planet has to offer. However, after some mulling over we realized that if we love reading other people’s bucket lists, then we do need to have our own. The list is anything but complete, so we will gradually add our dreams and plans. Stay tuned!
