BUCKET LIST places to visit!
This is post is a little out of the ordinary and somewhere to just collect some of the awesome places I’ve come across that I hope to one day visit in Europe – and I thought others might like to see them and visit one day too! (If you’ve already been then lucky you – please share any other places or tips in the comments section below).
The wanderlust in me means I’m always on the lookout for new places to visit and if I come across epic places I note them down on my ever growing ‘travel list’. Got to have travel goals to aim for haven’t you! Here’s a few places at the very top of my list – some of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe! (Note the photos on this page are stock photos – which I hope to recreate one day!).
