Before we get any further into our trip...

For a long time now, we've had a bit of a travel to-do list in mind. For our wedding, rather than have people give gifts to fill a home or go towards a house deposit, we asked our guests to put a token amount towards some of the activities we wanted to do on our bucket list. Now that The TwentyFifteen Plan is in motion, we want to share what generally makes up our itinerary for this year away, and who we have to thank for each of the experiences. Please bear in mind that not all of the gifts we received for our wedding went towards these activities, and it is by no means a comprehensive list of all the love that was sent our way for the wedding, or a complete list of what we plan on getting up to in the year ahead. It is a skeleton, a framework upon which we can build our travels around. It is also in a vaguely chronological order.

Without further ado, the to-do list:
