The Bucket List: Places to Find Peace and Quiet
Are feeling zen and achieving self-actualization on your bucket list? The Bucket List: Places to Find Peace and Quiet is a book filled with ideas for those who take a slightly different approach to the trendy method of setting goals for experiences and achievements before they die. You won't find freediving in Malaysia or wingsuiting up at the top of the Aiguille du Midi in Victoria Ward's collection of bucket list activities. But you might find a wilderness hideout or world class meditation retreat between the pages of this guide of ideas and inspirations for physical and spiritual renewal.
Written with "recent graduates, soon to be retirees, inveterate daydreamers and armchair travelers, and anyone considering taking a much needed sabbatical" in mind, The Bucket List: Places to Find Peace and Quiet consolidates a thousand nooks in the world that will help you relax and, hopefully, find some joy in your life. Destinations span from the center of New York City to the desert at the top of Mt. Sinai, old churches and small parks, to eateries and full-service retreats.
