Top 20 to-do in 2020

Top 20 to-do in 2020

This year, we have decided to make a list of 20 experiences we are aiming for this year instead of making resolutions. The reason for this is 2020 is all about the doing, seeing and enjoying as a way to refresh and renew ourselves. Also, I love making lists… like, a lot - I may or may not be a listaholic and it feels good to have real, tangible goals we can tick off as done.

With that said, here is our list of 20 experiential goals for this year:

1. Hike the Uruwera Lake Loop
2. Go on the TransAlpine train
