What’s a bucket list?



A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die. For some people, it’s the crazy, wild and exotic. For others, it could be learning how to dance, draw, or cook. Why not combine your bucket list with travelling? Learn how to cook on an epicurean cruise, and see a country you’ve always dreamed of visiting at the same time! Sky dive in western Europe, learn to draw in the Mediterranean next to the beautiful ancient architecture, or find your dancing feet in Spain! Unsure of where to start? Think of some places you’ve been wanting to visit, and things you’ve been wanting to try, and us at Lloyds can help you plan the perfect holiday that knocks two points off your bucket list in one go!

Still stuck? Check out our adventure specialist, Lesli’s, top places to go before you die:


Torun, Poland - the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, this medieval city dates back to 1100BC and was home to the Teutonic Knights, Franciscan monks and Dominicans.

Bagan, Myanmar – this ancient capital of Mandalay although not designated as a World Heritage Site, should be.

Ajanta Caves, India - these rock cut cave monuments contain paintings and sculptures considered to be masterpieces of both Buddhist and universal pictorial art. These caves were hidden amongst jungle growth until they were discovered in 1819.

Banaue Rice Terraces, Philippines - these 2000 year old rice terraces are commonly referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World by the locals.
