As I was searching the internet for articles on our upcoming trip(s) (more to come on that), I came across this fun article originally published by the BBC. It lists their top 50 places to visit before you die. Interestingly enough, not a single item is in the UK!

I have 14, but I don’t think that I’ll be making any more new trips. Funny that Bali is only 49. Is this ranked by preference?
12. Soon to be 13 🙂
I find it hard to believe it is ranked by preference because personally, Bali would be up there wayyyyy above Singapore. *shrugs*
It is surprising that Jerusalem, considered the holy land by many is not included.
My wife and I have visited 13 of the listed locations. Some members of our family, two or three more.
It is just absolutely amazing when you first see Machu Picchu in your life. It really is an unforgetable experience and a journey you must make. I know mine was, I hope you ever get to visit Peru.
