Travel Ideas

If you had a year to live would you devote it to charity, meditating in a cave or would you spend every last drop of those last 12 months partying to the extreme, squeezing all you could out of each moment?

Pick up any medical textbook and you’ll soon see that the number of ways you could die are almost inexhaustible. There are fatal diseases of the lungs, the stomach, the kidneys, the heart, even the brain – and that’s assuming you don’t get run over, stabbed or hit by a falling coconut.

Add into the equation that the planet itself is on the verge of collapse due to a fatal virus known as ‘humanity’ and you’ll see that time itself has become very precious.

So if you had a year to live would you devote it to charity, meditating in a cave – or would you spend every last drop of those last 12 months partying to the extreme, squeezing all you could out of each moment?

We’re assuming that’s what any serious road junky would do and so we’ve put together a few ideas of events that no experience addict should miss.

Check out the festivals and parties mentioned and if you know of anything better, let us know – the doctors aren’t optimistic about our futures…
