Explore the World and Test Your Senses: Marcello Recommends- “The Bucket List” by Kath Stathers

This book is a refined google search for the person who is looking for an inspirational adventure or memorable experience to look forward to and enjoy. It’s also a fantastic read if you just want to sit on the couch and revel in some amazing travel photography or treat your imagination to a delightful cornucopia of our world’s most written-about destinations.

The Bucket List features one thousand entries from celebrated travel writers from all over the globe. Each entry contains a brief description, location, and the best time of year to book your flight, lace up your sneakers, dust off your bike, or pack up the car.
