Summary

With 1，000 adventures for all ages， it's never too soon or too late to begin the things you've only dreamed of doing。

We all have things we'd like to do--one day--but work， family， school， money， and responsibilities get in the way。 This invaluable guide to fun， fantastic， and life-affirming activities features an eclectic range of ideas such as self-improvement， sports-related endeavors， natural wonders， cultural experiences， culinary delights， and more。 From glassblowing in the Czech Republic to swimming with dolphins in New Zealand， The Bucket List is the perfect gift for the passionate traveler--an around-the-world， continent-by-continent listing of beaches， museums， monuments， islands， inns， restaurants， mountains， and more。

Each activity is location-specific and as geographically unique as bird-watching in Kenya or driving through clouds in Sri Lanka， as well as other to-dos that can be done anywhere， such as sketching a sunset behind an architectural monument。 In addition to classic outdoor pursuits， the book contains advice on how to achieve some of the most popular goals for people of all ages: direct a movie， learn to play an instrument， make pottery， protect an endangered species， name a star， try a new cuisine， or learn a new language。 Whether you are more active or laid-back， serious-minded or lighthearted， you are bound to discover new， stimulating activities。

The book is very pretty， but is not organized to my liking。 The book is separated into hemispheres， and if you want to find the things the author thinks you should do in the United States for instance （in times of covid） you have to use the index as they are all over the book and the descriptions small。 There are whimsical things in there such as "write a book"。 Nice idea for a book， but thought it would be more "helpful"。 Maybe a 2。5。 The book is very pretty， but is not organized to my liking。 The book is separated into hemispheres， and if you want to find the things the author thinks you should do in the United States for instance （in times of covid） you have to use the index as they are all over the book and the descriptions small。 There are whimsical things in there such as "write a book"。 Nice idea for a book， but thought it would be more "helpful"。 Maybe a 2。5。 。。。more

It offers a lot of ideas for future travels。 Some of them are non realistic but there are hundreds that are totally doable。

So this was more of a scanning book of new places to go to。 I would have liked more pictures so you could "see" the adventures。 But got some good ideas of places to see in places I wanted to already go to。 So this was more of a scanning book of new places to go to。 I would have liked more pictures so you could "see" the adventures。 But got some good ideas of places to see in places I wanted to already go to。 。。。more

Stunning photos。I appreciate the varying levels of difficulty。 Visiting all the UNESCO sites is infinitely harder than finding someone on Tinder （an actualtask in the book）， although it might not feel like it。

On the surface， this book looks great。 I was really excited to get it， but most listings not only have little content， there are many errors。 There is no way that "travel experts" wrote all of these， if any， or have actually experienced the adventures or destinations。 For example， Rocky Mountain National Park is not in Canada， it's in Colorado。 Carretera Road is not in Majorca， Spain， it's in South America （Chilean Patogonia）。 Most people probably wouldn't realize this， but I am actually a trave On the surface， this book looks great。 I was really excited to get it， but most listings not only have little content， there are many errors。 There is no way that "travel experts" wrote all of these， if any， or have actually experienced the adventures or destinations。 For example， Rocky Mountain National Park is not in Canada， it's in Colorado。 Carretera Road is not in Majorca， Spain， it's in South America （Chilean Patogonia）。 Most people probably wouldn't realize this， but I am actually a travel writer who has visited many countries around the world and have actually experienced many of the places written about。 Was hoping for some fun new ideas but I feel like I was ripped off。 So disappointing。 。。。more

Absolutely incredibly fascinating and absorbing book！ Pictures galore。 Fantasy escapes as well as easy-do discoveries。 From over-the-top trips and treks to more picturesque strolling adventures。 This book has it all and then some。 I spent a week just looking at the photos， flipping around and dreaming。 I think of myself as fairly well-traveled。。。。I'm NOT。 Anyone with a smidge of adventure will enjoy this arm chair travelogue。 The peripatetics in the world will need BP meds！ Enjoy！ Absolutely incredibly fascinating and absorbing book！ Pictures galore。 Fantasy escapes as well as easy-do discoveries。 From over-the-top trips and treks to more picturesque strolling adventures。 This book has it all and then some。 I spent a week just looking at the photos， flipping around and dreaming。 I think of myself as fairly well-traveled。。。。I'm NOT。 Anyone with a smidge of adventure will enjoy this arm chair travelogue。 The peripatetics in the world will need BP meds！ Enjoy！ 。。。more

This book is organized by area of latitude/longitude， but would have been easier to read if it was organized by country。 There's short descriptions of all sorts of things that can be on your bucket list from running with the bulls to seeing the penguins in Patagonia。 It's also a bit confusing because there are things like Go on A Tinder Date （is this really a bucket list item？） that are listed in specific locations （Tinder is listed under California） that can actually be done anywhere。 There are This book is organized by area of latitude/longitude， but would have been easier to read if it was organized by country。 There's short descriptions of all sorts of things that can be on your bucket list from running with the bulls to seeing the penguins in Patagonia。 It's also a bit confusing because there are things like Go on A Tinder Date （is this really a bucket list item？） that are listed in specific locations （Tinder is listed under California） that can actually be done anywhere。 There are also some specific businesses listed as well which makes it seem like it could be out of date rather quickly。It's a book you can browse for ideas， but there's not a lot of substance。 。。。more

After reading one of the other books that was made by the same grouping and in a similar fashion you would think I would learn my lesson about the content。 Unfortunately I didn't and what makes it even worse is the fact that it couldn't even keep the same rating as the first but went down。 If it was in my nature this book would have been a DNF。 The book's main focal is suppose to be about giving the reader with 1000 adventures， which they do。 But unfortunately that is the only thing they do and After reading one of the other books that was made by the same grouping and in a similar fashion you would think I would learn my lesson about the content。 Unfortunately I didn't and what makes it even worse is the fact that it couldn't even keep the same rating as the first but went down。 If it was in my nature this book would have been a DNF。 The book's main focal is suppose to be about giving the reader with 1000 adventures， which they do。 But unfortunately that is the only thing they do and even then they mess it up so completely。 First of all in the Introduction they mention that not every adventure has to be a travel adventure and yet the book is focused 98。5% on traveling。 As a result there is very little to add to your bucketlist adventure-wise that isn't related to travel。 And although there is a color key to explain the types of adventures it really doesn't work since only the number at the front of the entry is colored。 As a result the colored part is barely seen to the reader and unless you remember or keep flipping back to the key it is a waste。 What I would have done for the book is to have made a general entry such as learning to juggle， learning to play a certain instrument， etc。 and then including a suggested location at the end of the basics if there was a certain region that was important to that activity。 Otherwise the writing was stilted and dry so much that the reading from cover-to-cover itself was quite boring。 At the same time there seemed to a permanent error where peek was misspelled as peak throughout the book while the knowledge of the editing team needs a refresher course。 First of all if you are going to mention mountain gorillas and Sigourney Weaver then why not mention the actual woman Dian Fossey that she was based upon。 We don't need a suggestion of Attenborough combined with a film。 Another thing is how is it the most well-known prison in history is the unnamed prison where Nelson Mandela was held？ If it was so famous then include the name in the entry。 Instead I would think， especially from so many authors who seemed to be UK-based in their About Author paragraphs， that they would have suggested the Tower of London or the Bastille。 Both are so much older than that single prison， more well-known to so many and hold a much longer hold on the past。 Even Alcatraz may hold a much better grasp on that accolade for a well-known prison in history。 The book also has a lot of colored pictures and a good chunk are whole page pictures in which there is no writing。 Within these pictures there is no subject of a traveler shown or if there is occasionally the face is covered。 The captions at the bottom of them are basically just ripped off the suggested adventure idea with no extra details given to the reader。 All in all if you can afford to travel or throw away money than this may be a better guidebook for you to skim to get some general suggestions， a bit more information like the best times to do some things in foreign locations or even occasionally the timeframe it may take to travel a certain route。 Just be sure， though， not all travel suggestions provide a timeframe on how long some of these adventures may take。 。。。more

A nice bathroom read。 Most entries are short and a fair number are nearly impossible to do。 But made for an enjoyable read。 Took me just over a year to read it。

Kirsten Hinds ，

I love adding travel experiences to my list but books like this often list the exact same “bucket list” items but that is not the case with this book。 It had so many fresh and unique ideas leaving me hopeful that there are still plenty of unspoiled places on the world to explore。 Unfortunately， it also left me itching to travel more。 Also the pictures are beautiful and plentiful。

Ouvrage qui comprend 1 000 idées à inscrire sur sa bucket list de vie。 Petit bémol pour moi: la délimitation des chapitres par les hémisphères （par degré）， cela causait des divisions de pays dans plusieurs sections du livre que l’on retrouvait à plusieurs endroits différents。 Trop peu de référents au Québec d’ailleurs （« le Festival Juste pour Rire » lololol， triste， mais c’est voué à disparaître）。

We’re working on an Around The World plan for this year and this was extremely helpful。 It took a little getting used to the way it was organized。 It’s laid out by latitude， working from N to S。 I had to adjust my thinking because we are circling the globe on our trip but ultimately that is it’s greatest unique feature。 I designed my own system of “thrill list” （because I don’t like using bucket。。。） and highly recommend checking it out。 The biggest take away is understanding it’s a big， big worl We’re working on an Around The World plan for this year and this was extremely helpful。 It took a little getting used to the way it was organized。 It’s laid out by latitude， working from N to S。 I had to adjust my thinking because we are circling the globe on our trip but ultimately that is it’s greatest unique feature。 I designed my own system of “thrill list” （because I don’t like using bucket。。。） and highly recommend checking it out。 The biggest take away is understanding it’s a big， big world with tons of amazing things to see！ Very inspiring。 I loved the concise， yet helpful descriptions。 。。。more

Amazing adventures are lined out with lovely pictures， awesome facts， & just enough info to spark your interest，research， and hopefully trip planning。 One to own so you could bookmark pages and maybe shove in pictures。

My score out of 1000 in The Bucket List barely broke the fifty mark， but it was good fun taking a journey through this gloriously presented book。 The Bucket List is subtitled 1000 Adventures Big and Small， which is a precise description。The format works pretty well too， with sections devoted to geographic areas north and south of the equator。 The experiences range from modest sight seeing adventures to rather risky endeavours like bungee jumping， searching for polar bears， climbing volcanoes， bi My score out of 1000 in The Bucket List barely broke the fifty mark， but it was good fun taking a journey through this gloriously presented book。 The Bucket List is subtitled 1000 Adventures Big and Small， which is a precise description。The format works pretty well too， with sections devoted to geographic areas north and south of the equator。 The experiences range from modest sight seeing adventures to rather risky endeavours like bungee jumping， searching for polar bears， climbing volcanoes， big game fishing and for the truly well heeled and ambitious， visiting every country in the world。The Bucket List is a lavishly laid out hardback which could well be the impetus for your next travel adventure， and why not tick off a few more on your own bucket list。 。。。more

This book is divided by latitudes of the hemisphere。 Nice short interesting paragraphs on geographical locations。 A wide variety of ideas from a nostalgic walk across Abbey Road to a breathtaking zip line across an Alpine valley。 It is suggestive rather than prescriptive。 Plenty of different ideas at different budget and difficulty levels， sure to inspire a wide readership。 You could incorporate these ideas into a short business trip， or a vacation of a week or more。 There are adventures galore！
