I have no burning desire to see the Northern Lights or climb some life-changing mountain. Sunrises and sunsets? Pretty, sure. But I enjoy them just fine from my balcony, thank you very much. I don\u2019t have a bucket list of places to visit either (yes, I\u2019m normal, rolling my eyes at you so hard). Whatever travelling I do is usually for the company, I go where my friends and family go. Apparently, they\u2019ve all been bitten by the travel bug.
