Life, death, travel… and bucket lists

Based on a paper I wrote about the relationship between travel, life, dying and mortality, I was interviewed in a number of outlets about the idea of “bucket lists” and how they may (or may not) be helpful. This all draws on interviews with people living with life-limiting cancer diagnoses, and how they spoke about travel before, during and after their diagnosis.
