This inspirational volume on wellness showcases ideas for replenishing the mind, body, and soul and is the latest addition to the bestselling Bucket List series.

For anyone seeking calming and therapeutic wellness respites, this aspirational guide contains 1,000 travel ideas organized geographically. Every aspect of wellness and self-care is covered: rid yourself of negative energy in a sweat lodge in Mexico; unwind with yoga in a tree house cabin by the Caribbean in Tobago; harness the healing power of seawater in France; practice the art of forest bathing in Japan; go on a wellness cruise down the Mekong in Vietnam; engage in holistic healing therapies in a former Maharaja’s palace in India; learn more about gut health and gastronomy in California; experience holistic healing arts in the Hamptons . . . the possibilities are endless.

Entries are broken down into six color-coded categories to help readers personally create the ultimate wellness escape for their needs at any time. The six categories are: renew and recharge; relax and indulge; explore and thrive; reflect and connect; savor and nourish; heal and balance.

This is the definitive guide for anyone interested in travel that enriches life physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

"Luckham, coauthor of The Family Bucket List, here compiles 1,000 'escapes and experiences to enrich your mind, body, and soul' across six continents. Classed by benefit and purpose, such as 'relax and indulge' and 'explore and thrive,' suggested activities include getting a foot massage in Shanghai in order to “stimulate your vital functions, eliminate toxins, improve blood circulation, and reduce anxiety,” and taking surfing lessons at Solscape, a New Zealand 'eco-resort that emphasizes doing good for the community, your body, and the planet.'" — Publisher's Weekly
