Will you be able to cross everything off this Summer 2021 Bucket List? Call it Hot Girl Summer, After Corona Summer or finally the Summer of your Life. The Summer of 2021 is worth making it extra special. After 1.5 years of hibernation, having received the necessary amount of vaccinations will enable you some new kind of freedom. Going to Restaurants, travelling places, meeting (new) people. But most and foremost, making the most of the warm weather, and long days. Late Dinners outside lit by candles or the moon light alone, laughs and joys to no end. A favourite tune, a new found hobby or deepened friendship or an intense new relationship. Let’s all make the most out of the upcoming months with this inspiration for a Summer 2021 Bucket List. More than thirty ideas on how to spend this summer to its fullest. Nevertheless, still take care of yourself and others, and dont risk a corona-infection! No one wants another wave in early fall, so that everything grinds to a halt again….
