As soon as I saw the movie “The Bucket List” I knew I wanted to make one of my own. There are those out there who don’t believe in bucket lists and think they give a person an unrealistic expectation of their lives but I say why not?? I’m a dreamer…always have been, always will be. I love to day dream about things I want to accomplish in my life, languages I want to learn, places I want to visit, food I want to try, etc, etc.
I know I probably won’t be able to check off every single thing on my bucket list (the list on my computer has over 500 items!) and that’s fine! But for me it’s just something fun to both look back on and look forward to.
I am currently 25 years old…soon to be 26. So instead of posting my beast of a bucket list, I thought I’d create a 30 before 30! This is a list of 30 travel related items I would like to accomplish before I turn 30. That gives me just over 4 years to accomplish them all.
Challenge accepted.
