Some are the stuff of legend ; set in a destination that , in another time , might have warranted a pilgrimage in their own right . We ’ re talking about the sort of moments that befit a bucket list , experiences that photos can never quite capture ( but you ’ ll want to take them anyway , for your own reminiscing ). Escapades that inspire goosebumps from head to toe and a healthy appreciation for just how big and marvelous the world is , as well as how lucky you are for the vantage point that you have .
