Do you have a summer to-do list? 🪣

We don’t know about you, but we’ve come across dozens of “summer bucket lists” online – they were almost begging us to try them out.

So that’s what two of our writers did: they took some items off random lists online, added a personal touch, and set off on adventures. Read their accounts of what happened next!

And if you’d like to join this experiment or simply check with your progress, have a look at the list in the comments below!
