Bucket List

Bucket list's are one of the biggest cliches in life, and yet they are still something that I find myself drawn to.
The idea of putting in a list all the cool, interesting and scary things that you want to do - and then ticketing them off - seems to me like a very satisfying venture.

And so I made a list.
Some of the things on this list I've already done, a few of them I have made plans to do, and the majority are for some point in the future.
It's tempting to just list all the many many travel adventures that I want to have, but I have also tried to include other, non-travel related, things too. The list is in no particularly order - although the neurotic in me wanted to categorise and make it neater - and there isn't an order to complete them in either.

The thing that I wanted to be aware of was that this is not a "one day" list.
It is a list to encourage me to go out and do things that I might not usually do. I want to actively try to tick things off my list, as well as discovering new things to add on to it, rather than waiting for life to throw me opportunities to do these things organically.

It's all just an excuse to never stop exploring!
