 *This post will be updated as I cross off my accomplishments and add new items. This is my one and only, real-life bucket list, which includes more than just travel goals. I hope it shares a lot about me, as well as inspires you in your own life! (This list is in no particular order. All bolded items have yet to be accomplished.)

That sounds very interesting! Sicily is high on my list! If things pan out as they should, I should be backpacking all of Europe next and then maybe I can stop out ;) 3/17/2013 06:01:23 am
Love your list. Our buckets contain many of the same dreams. I'm heading for Amsterdam in two weeks. Suggestions for my "do not miss" list? 3/17/2013 06:14:55 am
Thank you :)

I have done a lot of these. You should try to love someone you will learn more about yourself without ever having to step foot somewhere else. Some of these I'd still like to do- email me if you need a co- pilot. 3/19/2013 12:07:09 pm
Ireland is by far my favorite country (my family's Irish.) I lived there for a month, and I would give anything to get back and visit. What castle(s) have you visited? There are castles in Ireland that you can rent like hotels, and we had a family reunion in one, rented out half of the castle. 12/10/2013 10:40:03 am
What part of Ireland is your family from? What part did you stay at? You should go back to visit! Have you made any plans for a return? Wow, I have visited an extensive list of castles, and loved every one of them. 3/22/2013 03:52:23 am
Great bucket list - We just made our 60 before 60 lists - 60 things we want to do before we turn 60. It's a fun thing to do. I think we might turn ours into a blog post like you did. Great idea. Awesome photography, too!! 12/10/2013 08:36:03 am
It is a great thing to do! Sometimes life happens so fast that we blink and our glory years are gone. Writing things down and sticking to the list is something that you can work towards. Perhaps achieving one thing every six months, or one thing a year would be great. (obviously tweaking this would be necessary depending upon your age) :) 12/10/2013 08:38:31 am
:) What would be great is when you make your list, share it with me. I am always curious about what other people want to accomplish during their life. Have fun with it!

Wow that is one heck of a bucket list. I have one that is in my head and is constantly evolving. I should sit down one day and write out my bucket list. :) 12/10/2013 08:41:26 am
You should most certainly write your list. If you wait too long, you may forget some of the fun things that you want to accomplish today. Do yourself a favor, write that list! When your done, share it with me.

Well, I did it. I started my bucket list today and immediately booked the first item: try to learn a little Spanish via a 30 day Spanish Immersion class in Guanajuato Mexico! 12/10/2013 08:43:22 am
I am glad to hear that this post generated that spark in you to write your list and take that trip! What other things did you jot down on your bucket list? 4/23/2013 03:11:29 am
Now THATS a Bucket list that defeats all Buckets lists I've ever seen! With that type of adventure, Brandon has a very full life ahead of him. 12/10/2013 08:46:30 am
I certainly intend of leading a full, and fast paced life. Life is too short to spend it wishing of the things that one wants to do and not accomplishing those things. I encourage you to dig deep within yourself and find your passions and go for it! :)
Hi Brandon, 12/10/2013 08:49:45 am
Molly, I really hope that you enjoy your stay here in America. There are so many beautiful places that you can visit and see. You can always try your luck in Las Vegas. You never know you could be the next millionaire. In that case, you must share. :P 12/10/2013 08:55:14 am
Thank you Merry. It means a lot to hear that people like you enjoy my content. I am going to make every effort to accomplish my bucket list, and hope that you have the opportunity to fulfill your dreams! 12/10/2013 08:53:39 am
I think tat you have a great dream, Mary. Dancing on the Equator would be something that you could say that you achieved. When do you plan on doing this, and what are your plans on ensuring you are exactly on the equator? 6/18/2013 01:25:47 am
I think you can cross 'Become a successful travel writer' off your list - because you obviously are. And I have a couchsurfin' brother back from Spain/France heading to Italy in a few months who would be happy to help you cross that one out too. Take care of yourself. 12/10/2013 09:11:46 am
I appreciate the compliment Rose. :) Isn't it wonderful to spend time with family? I am sure your brother has all sorts of traveling stories! I hope he has a safe trip to Italy, and enjoys his stay.

Visit asia...and the Philippines and cross out some in your list like 12/10/2013 09:16:13 am
That is a great idea. Perhaps I will look into teaching English while in Asia. That would be a perfect time to cross it off my list. Living with a tribe would be very liberating. I am excited to get to that item on the list.

Great list! I should do one myself! .o) 12/10/2013 09:18:21 am
Thank you. :) I really do think that you should sit down and write a few ideas to start your list off. It doesn't have to be fly to the moon type of list, but write down some meaningful things that you want to accomplish. Things that you would love to do. A few to get started, and add from there. 12/10/2013 09:20:21 am
Thank you Nicole. I am going to make every effort to complete my list. It surely isn't an exhaustive list. lol. I am sure things will be added to it. Have you made a list? 8/7/2013 02:53:16 am
I love it! You have so many amazing things on here. I would love to see some of the completed things click through to articles that you've published about them! :) 12/10/2013 09:23:23 am
Oh certainly! I will share my experiences with you all! I am curious as to if you have written a bucket list? If not you should really try it. You will feel good to have accomplished those things. They may take time, but that's why they call it a bucket list.

AWESOME!!!! Wish I was able to see all these places firsthand with U!!!! BEST WISHES ALWAYS!!! lol 12/10/2013 09:26:24 am
Who knows Crystal, perhaps we may be at the same place at the same time! Keep your eyes open during your vacations! You may see me! 12/10/2013 09:28:55 am
Wonderful Janice! It really makes me feel good to know that I could inspire you to create your own list. What sort of items are you going to put on your list? 12/10/2013 09:30:54 am
Thank you Mark, for the words of encouragement. What type of work were you in when you traveled? Do you miss it? What was your favorite travel destination that you made? 12/10/2013 09:32:30 am
Lol, well I will just change Queen's day to King's day. If I wait too long for his daughter I may not be around to even attempt it. :P

Curious about put a bad man away. You can see the northern lights in Yellowknife. My bucket lists seem to be more about revisits. 12/10/2013 10:31:56 am
Putting a bad man away means that I would like to help discover and confront a criminal or something to that nature. Perhaps being a part of an investigation and then being there when they capture the "bad man". :) 8/29/2013 01:04:34 am
Cuba huh? I believe we can help with that and guide you in the right direction. Going on a people-to-people program might be the best way for you to discover what Cuba is all about. For me it's like going back in time every time I go and the thing I enjoy the most is that colorful architecture and those classic cars! 12/10/2013 09:54:52 am
That's great to hear Emily! Are you originally from Cuba? How often do you revisit? 8/31/2013 03:08:48 am
And when you DO ride that horse, you are welcome to write a guest post about your experience on Writing Horseback, a blog about where to go on horseback riding vacations! 12/10/2013 09:57:01 am
Nancy that sounds great. I will be sure to post when I do indeed complete that task on my list. I am excited to experience it. Any tips for this future adventure? 9/7/2013 03:04:34 am
Great bucket list, some awesome ideas and goals. 12/10/2013 09:58:16 am
That sounds like an awesome must see! What was your favorite part about that trip? 9/10/2013 02:00:50 pm
My preference, own a castle then I could rent it out and do the rest of the list with the proceeds. 12/10/2013 10:00:09 am
I like the way you think Gary! That would be great however, I have a feeling that lack of funds would keep anyone from actually owning their own castle. I will however keep my eyes, open because one day it could very well happen. All you need to do is be in the right place at the right time. The possibilities are endless. :) 9/14/2013 09:48:19 pm
Wow, I thought my bucket list was long but I think yours might beat it! Great list :) 12/10/2013 10:03:36 am
I am going to try extremely hard to accomplish each item on that list. It also isn't exhaustive. I am sure I will add some things as time goes on. lol. When did you make your list? Have you accomplished some tasks? If so, what were you favorites? 12/10/2013 10:04:55 am
Candice, thank you for your words of encouragement. It is pleasuring to know that people like you enjoy my content. Have you created a bucket list? 9/17/2013 03:05:27 am
Love this list!! It looks like you have accomplished quite a lot already as well - good on you! :) 12/10/2013 10:06:26 am
Than you! I am certainly trying to accomplish them in a timely manner! Life is too short to hold off on doing the things that you love. Have you written your own bucket list? What type of things are you adding to it?

Awe, thank you! Why not visit some of the destinations. You will have so much fun! When you visit take a lot of pictures for memories.

it is amazing what you the list. you accomplished so much and stil going. love the website design 12/10/2013 10:10:47 am
Thank you Vicky! I have accomplished a few things, lol. I am trying very hard to accomplish every thing on the list. Have you created your own list of things that you would like to accomplish? 12/10/2013 10:12:30 am
Thank you for the congratulations! I do agree with you that many people sit and dream. It doesn't have to be that way however. I encourage the people who are simply dreaming to take that trip, or to take that pen and paper and jot down things that you want to accomplish this year even.

I'm actually surprised you haven't slept in an ice hotel ... yet! Winter travel trips are some of the most memorable you can have! 12/10/2013 10:14:22 am
Yes, it is on my list! It WILL happen, lol. Timing is everything. Have you stayed in an ice hotel? If so, how was your experience? "Truly love someone"/"Truly Help Someone"/"Do plenty of volunteer work" should be on everyone's list. Inspiring! - you can cross "Inspire someone" off your list twice....gonna add a few of yours to my own. Paintball hurts. I recommend laser tag. Have you ever thought of creativelive.com for a teaching seminar? I will have to say that two are kinda contradictory: "Rescue an animal"/"Hunt and game an animal". Maybe you can rescue the animal in the end? ;) For the wine, you might want to stop in Napa in CA. I can suggest a few. For Broadway: Les Mis. And PLEASE create a photography/photoshop tutorial. I will sign up for sure. I have photoshop and I'm pretty lame at it and would love to buy a real camera if I knew what to do with it, so I highly appreciate what you do. So, which one have you crossed off is your favorite so far? And which one are you most looking forward to? 10/13/2013 03:48:25 am
Aw haha thank you :) I'm glad, it's my goal! 10/13/2013 02:16:38 pm
I like it, I like it. It's a great range of bucket items, and I'm proud to say I've done some of your recently added...of course, there are even more that I still haven't done...sigh... 12/10/2013 10:17:52 am
lol. It will happen in time Kathy! :) What items have you accomplished? What are some items that you plan to accomplish this upcoming year? 12/10/2013 10:20:20 am
I am glad that you liked it Charter. Have you created a bucket list for you to accomplish your dreams? 12/10/2013 10:22:44 am
:) thank you Venice, Have you made a bucket list? If so, have you accomplished some?

I am inspired! Italy was my most recent experience and we were able to get the guy who paddled our gondola to sing us a love song in Italian :D. Ride an elephant is on my top, I guess I will have to think about adding riding a camel. What is Ireland like!? 12/10/2013 10:25:36 am
Ireland is amazing. It is the most beautiful place with wonderful architecture to admire for hours! You should certainly add a trip to Ireland to your list! There is so much stuff to do there that you could spend an entire year discovering. LOL - You made me smile. Interesting adds....surprised by the staying in 5 star resorts one. BTW, if you want to cruise for free on Princess so you can cross that off your list, I can show you how. To Kill a Mockingbird and Schindler's List are masterpieces(100 best movies). But, why are none of the top 100 movies funny? That's not going to help your goal of smiling more. Do Hawaii in March(the whales migrate there for mating season). Waitomo caves (and NZ in general) was an awesome experience. I remember there was an Irish girl behind me and she just kept saying, "Holy Mary, Mother of God" as we floated through them. :) I'm pretty sure you've already hired the 2 private investigators (being a Scorpio, and all). Happy Birthday. Hope you had a good one. What was your favorite thing about today? 12/10/2013 10:29:09 am
Thank you so much for the tip on Hawaii. I also have to say I laughed out loud just picturing an Irish girl saying that sentence. How could I cruise for free? You intrigued me with that comment. Comment much? Nice to see your responding to comments. ;) I know it's probably difficult when you have so many. For princess - if you are a travel agent and have a IATA number(or you can sign up with a free host company), you take the Princess training. Several hours, but then, you get to choose a free cruise. :) Worth it. Right?

wow - and I thought my Bucket List was extensive! I've been running my life along my BL for the past year, and keep meaning to actually write it down - instead of keeping it a mental list. Looking at yours is the inspiration I needed! 12/10/2013 10:34:04 am
Awe, thank you Jaimi! Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me. I encourage you to write your list down so that nothing slips your mind. As time goes by, sometimes we forget what we at one time wanted to accomplish. Jot it down, and go for it! What are some things that you have accomplished this year? Are you going to SXSW this year? For me, it's either this year or next. Haven't decided. Money is a factor though. Was just in Vegas and was in the hotel that hosts the Blue Man Group. It's surprisingly the cheapest show in town. I'm not sure why they've done so well. They do have a bit of shock factor, and are creepy with their blue heads, and drum all sorts of random things (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOLBn8GKBlA), but they pretty much leave me cold. But, I've seen Cirque du Soleil several times, and they easily balance fantasy, beauty, acrobatics, and story, so I believe it's more worth your time and money even though more expensive. I've also heard the Blarney Stone is hard to get to? You have to walk up a gazillion steps and bend over backward? Also heard it's smaller than expected. Was it worth it? :) I'll probably go through the trouble if ever in Ireland, but just wondering. 12/10/2013 10:37:13 am
Thanks for the link. Very interesting. I guess you could say it is a bit of a shock factor. It is worth going to Blarney Stone. It is something that you only experience once because you may not want to take the journey again. lol. 1/14/2014 06:11:27 pm
Wow, what a bucket list. I started one this year but have added what I would like to accomplish this year first and will then add to it. 1/23/2014 06:30:41 am
Wow comprehensive list, if I lay I could organise my thoughts in such a way! 2/2/2014 10:46:03 pm
