I have always dreamt about traveling the whole world.
Right now, at my age and my current living conditions and/or standards, I know it will be impossible.
I have recently almost finished my Southeast Asia bucket list, ticking all countries except Timor-Leste and Brunei just because I do not think they are worth visiting soon with its expensive fares from Singapore.
Project 81 is also on hold for me as it would be easier for me to finish anything outside The Philippines while I am still based in Singapore.
So yeah, after Southeast Asia, I am targeting South Asian countries.
Ideally, East Asia would be more straightforward. But I plan to bring my parents with me when I visit those counties. Due to their personal reasons, it would not be attainable.
Having said that, here's my bucket list for South Asia:
1 - Experience the Maldivian Dream
Crossed off the list July 2015
2 - Visit the amazing Taj Mahal in India

3 - Ride the World's Most Beautiful Train Ride from Ella to Kandy in Sri Lanka

4 - Take the panoramic flight to Nepal over the Himalayas

4b - Hike the Mount Everest!!! (This is my ULTIMATE GOAL given that I can prepare myself and be fit enough.)

5 - Hike the Tiger's Nest in Bhutan

6 - Be completely amazed with Pakistan's rich history and majestic architectures

There are still a lot of things to do in each country. I have only listed the major ones to focus on.
As for the rest of the countries in South Asia particularly Bangladesh and Afganistan, I really have not thought about it.
I have read that it's generally safe and only a few tourists experience serious crimes in Bangladesh. One article even described the capital city, Dhaka, as 'insane' or the 'craziest' city in the world.
Afganistan... well. You know.
So, for now, I will keep this until we all can travel and tick-off our lists. But definitely, it will be...
