Pingback: Day 135 « Roads are made by Traveling
I love your list. I have been intending to put together a ‘to do whilst I’m alive/bucketlist’ for ages. Now I’ve graduated, traveled Norway + Canada to get some spirit and perspective, back at home proactively job searching/waiting for Canadian visa to come through the post…it is probably as good a time as any! Scary thing being in the real world!
Best wishes, Nikki x
Hey! I love your list! I made a list of 100 things to do before I die myself and its really helped me set goals and work towards them. Its definitely a great source of inspiration when you are at a loss :p. Best of luck!
Blimey! I think it’s really cool how you took the time to put this list together and keep it really in your sites. I particularly love number 63 – just a shame a dump is awaiting you once you reach the other side! I love my home town of Portsmouth, but after a long ferry ride of up and down seasickness you don’t really want to be greeted with swarms of chavs asking you for a faaaaag!
Good luck and I hope to see more of these being crossed through as the weeks pass!
thank you! I should look at this list more often because I have accomplished a few more things from the list
