My friends, if there is one thing I can recommend for your bucket list, it’s to find a non light-polluted area and go camp there. If you are lucky and the skies are clear, you can actually see the milky way with your own eyes. It’s one of the most beautiful things I saw while out camping in France, and I have never seen it since.

(I’ve heard it’s harder to see in far North and South places such as Scandinavian countries.)
