INTRODUCTION
bucket list: A list of things one hopes to accomplish in one’s lifetime.
Although the idea is ancient, the expression has quickly entered popular culture thanks to the 2007 movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Two men with terminal cancer decide they’re sick of dying, create a list of all the things they’ve ever wanted to do and promptly run off to try to do them.

All that changed with the accident, and the fortuitous $20,000 insurance settlement that accompanied it. It was just enough to convince me that, pinching a few pennies and selling off more belongings, I could act on my dreams and make them a reality. The scariest day of my life was walking into a travel agency and booking a solo, twelve-month, round-the-world ticket to five continents—a ticket to visit all the places at the top of my bucket list.
Bidding friends and family farewell, I went off to hike the Inca Trail and visit the Taj Mahal, drink beer in Prague and sweet tea in Istanbul and sail down the Mekong River. Determined to record every moment of this one special year, I wrote long reports, edited photo galleries, reviewed my accommodations and interviewed every person I
