Here is the official shortened version of my bucket list (the actual list is much longer). Most people believe it to be unrealistic that I aspire to do so much in my life, but where’s the thrill of only living by what everyone thinks is “realistic”? What about dreaming big? And actually making those dreams come true? I only got one life. I figured I’d make it a good one.
As I got off crossing the items on my list I plan on sharing my experiences with you. The items with a strike-through mean I’ve already lived that dream!
What are some things on your bucket list? Share with me in the comments section below.
