I’ve decided it’s time for me to get my list in writing. I turn 40 later this year and I figure that’s half of my life complete (based on U.S. census tables), so it’s time to set some goals for the latter half of my life. I see and hear about things all the time that prompt me to say to myself, “I should do that before I die!” And then I tend to forget about it.
These are the big-ticket things I’d like to do one day. Most of it is traveling, but I’ve alway felt that there’s so much of the world to see and learn about.
No, I don’t have the money or time to do a lot of these things. But that’s what I have the rest of my life for, right? And it appears that much of it is visiting stuff.
Disclaimers about this list:
- There is no timeline on most of these, except somewhat for Obergammerau
- These are presented in no particular order
- I am not suggesting I have the money to do all these things
- This list will change constantly and I will bump it periodically
Leave a comment if you think there’s something else I should try, or if you have tips about something on the list, or if you want to share your own bucket list items!
