Tips from the community

I doubt there's a large number of people with this seemingly desolate place on their bucket list so allow me to explain. I'm drawn to places like this. I lived in the Northern Territory of Australia, which can also be considered a desolate part of the world. I loved it. There's hidden magic in these less-appealing places. Why it's on my Bucket List: While living in NT Australia I met an Inuk woman from a very Northern Territory of Canada called Baffin Island. Over the course of a month, she shared stories, photos, and music with me all about the lifestyle and culture of the people there and I was captivated. I promised myself I would explore this place and spend some time there working or volunteering. I was so infatuated with this woman from Baffin Island that I nearly bought a ticket there. Instead, we arranged to meet up in New Zealand, but that's a story for another time....

    Yes, this is my geographic Bucket List! Some of these places are on the list because they align with my interests, while other places are on the list because I've felt a calling to go there and figure out why. #seekerchallenge
