BUCKET LIST

When Barack Obama visited Stonehenge in 2014 saying he’d ‘knocked that one off the bucket list’, it was confirmed as a global phenomenon. In travel terms, ‘bucket list’ is best described as a location to visit or something to experience before dying. It entered the global lexicon with 2007 film The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as terminalcancer patients who embark on skydiving, visiting the Taj Mahal and getting to the foothills of Mount Everest. Top of the UK’s list are: seeing the Northern Lights; visiting the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls; and learning a new language.
