What's on your bucket list?

[fryjack2]

I remake mine every couple years.  Some things I can do in the near future ( run particular races) and some are decades away (pay for nonexistent, hypothetical grandkid's college. My kids are 6 and currently want to marry each other, so. LOL).  

If you have a bucket list, what's on it? 

[cville]

I really want to visit India, Egypt, and Japan.

[Jalapeñomel]

I want to go to Bora Bora.

[dellabear]

A lot of travel: Europe, South Pacific, Asia, etc. I’d like to live abroad for at least a half year or so at some point. We’d also like to take the kids on an African safari when they’re in their late teens.

For me personally, I’d like to get a masters degree and become completely bilingual in French.

[underwaterrhymes]

See the aurora borealis

Go on a glamping safari in Tanzania and then climb Mt. Kilimanjaro

Take the boys to visit all the national parks

Finish seeing all 50 states (I’m at 44)

Begin to practice yoga and become good at it

Learn Spanish

Become a better photographer, just for fun, not as a profession

There are also a whole host of countries I want to visit.

[sewf]

Travel to Ireland. I’m scared of flying, but I’d take a bunch of drugs to be able to go to Ireland.

[sunnysally]

Get scuba certified.
A whole list of travel destinations.
Own a car with a rear windshield wiper.
See every species of penguin in the wild. Almost there!
Deadlift my body weight.

[Captain Catnip]

Visit Turkey
Backpack through the highlands of Scotland
Buy a house
Buy a new car (not new to me. actually new.)
Make a sizable donation to the local library

Probably others but those are the two main ones. I don't really make a bucket list.

[eddy]

See a whale in the ocean

I love these and are the types of list items I love to read.  The mix of mundane and huge goals  

I have a rear windshield wiper and never realized how useful it was before I had it. 

Never ever in a million years would I think to have a penguin species checklist on my list.  Love the uniqueness of your goal!

Most of mine are travel-related.

1) Leave the U.S. (ideally visit all of the continents one day)
2) See the Aurora Borealis
3) Go to the Olympics (as a spectator lol!)
4) Visit all the U.S. national parks
5) Get a job I love going to every day

No particular order--I just like numbered lists!

ETA: Oh and summit a 14er!

[samanthamkm]

I have a list of races I want to run. Visit all 50 states and MLB stadiums. See a black and white panda in a zoo. Visit a hot air balloon festival. Those are just some things on my list.

There is a huge one in Albuquerque.  I think it's put on annually.  I only know that because a local newscaster is a hot air balloon enthusiast

There is also one in upstate NY, or at least used to be. I had a friend who's family owned a resort and it was near them. 

[underwaterrhymes]

Also, get my boys to enjoy trying new foods and regularly eat vegetables without a battle

[brooke77]

- run all the world major marathons
- go to the Maldives
- pay for my son’s college (and hopefully be able to help with a down payment for a house)

[wambam]

Continue to get better at guitar and play at least one song for an audience (even if it’s like 10 people)

Continue being adventurous and spontaneous in my music-related travel. If I want to see a band, I just hop in my car and GO. I don’t want to let age or whatever to discourage me from that sense of adventure.

New Zealand, Scandinavia, England/Scotland/Ireland

See my material fly on the 777X

Be financially sound enough to be really generous with my nieces and nephew (like buy them a car or pay for their/ their kids’ school or something)

That’s all I can think of for now

[notsopicky]

Travel: Asia (China, Japan), Alaskan cruise (hopefully w/ Aurora Borealis), African safari, South Pacific (Tahiti, Bora Bora--Jalapeñomel, we could go together, lol)

Professional accomplishments: win some kind of teaching award (school-based Teacher of the Year, state-recognized Librarian of the Year), hell, at this point I'd settle for Mascot of the Month

Personal--get to an ideal weight (life-long battle)

Community--get involved with a service-dog or rescue organization (perhaps when I'm retired)

!

I read this as visit all the continents IN one day. I was super impressed for a minute. Then I spent time trying to figure out how one would actually do this. I think it could be done with strategic use of time zones, but I’m not sure.

[dreamcrisp1]

1. 30 countries by 30 is my biggest one right now. Our 2019 plan is UK, Luxembourg, and Portugal. Our 2020 plan is Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Croatia, and Slovenia. Hopefully, Estonia and Latvia if we have time.

2. Go to all continents 1 day. I have 2 to go.

3. A true safari.

4. Open my own business (hoping I can do this when we return to Toronto)

5. Try to slow down and enjoy life. It goes by too quickly.

6. Rescue/foster more dogs and get back into animal rescue work when we return to Toronto.
