Eldris’ Bucketlist

My love for travel developed when I was a little girl; at the time, love for travel meant fantasizing about being at the desired location and how surreal it must feel being there.

Never did I imagine, as an adult, that fantasies can actually become reality!

I am an accountant so I feel like I am a natural money saver (even though some of my friends believe I have a clothes, purse and shoe addiction). But, because of my love for travel, I learned to save money for things/experiences that are really important to me.

My bucketlist is literally the WORLD! I do have a career that I don’t want to give up on to travel full-time, so seeing the world will just take a little time. But that’s ok! The best things in life are worth waiting for…
