The journey is over for me, but the trip is just beginning.
Last night at 11am, an hour before the finalists were announced I received an email that made my heart drop. It was from Neil the Co-Founder of My Destination, the power house behind the Biggest Baddest Bucket List competition. It was informing me that I hadn’t made it through to the final round in London.
