Welcome to the second part of my self-indulgent series celebrating by 40th birthday. I have already shared 40 Things I’ve Done Before Reaching 40 and now look at forty more adventures (in no particular order) I would one day I would like to tick off the list.
If by chance any Tourist Boards or Travel Companies wish to send me on any of these adventures in return for exposure via podcasts, videos, posts and social media be sure to drop me an email at contact@thedepartureboard.com
Hopefully my ‘bucket list’ will also inspire your travels.

Great list, I am not too sure if you should gamble in Vegas before, or after, this list is is done :) Either way, I’ll be looking forward to reading about the adventures!
A good point Jessica! Thanks for the kind words. It will be one heck of a journey if I get through this lot!
Happy birthday! Some good choices there, and a few that are on my list too (less so the energetic ones!), next to be ticked off hopefully Vegas and the Grand Canyon next spring, but plenty left to see and do.
Fantastic, ambitious list! High on my list is seeing the Northern Lights (from the ground – I’ve seen them many times from a plane), walking (a little of!) the Great Wall of China and experiencing Vermont in the Fall. I’m with you on nearly all your choices – might pass on the shark cage!
