50 travel experiences you should live once
Not a bucket list of trophies. A set of ways to be in the world a little more awake.

You do not need fifty countries. You need fifty ways of paying attention.
A handful to start
- Sleep in a city you cannot pronounce yet
- Take a ferry that is slower than the flight
- Eat the thing the market is famous for, standing up
- Walk until the map is only a rumour
- Watch a sunset you did not photograph
The rest will arrive when you are ready. Wonder, continents, small territories — reasons to go that are not a sale on flights.
Collecting experiences is not the same as being changed by one.
Come back to this list in a year. Cross out what you lived. Add the thing you did not know to want.
