Welcome to my ever-growing, ever-changing bucket list!
It sounds a little cliché doesn’t it? A bucket list. But honestly, I much prefer that to boring old ‘things I want to do before I die’! Either way, a bucket list is about living your life to the fullest.
My bucket list has been a work in progress for years. I add to it, I delete things that aren’t relevant anymore (maybe I don’t want to learn Swahili anymore!) and try as much as I can to tick things off the list.
And what a feeling it is every time I get to tick something off the list and see what I’ve accomplished!
I’ll never be finished with my bucket list. I suspect this list will just keep growing and growing, because there are so many things that I want to do in this life!
Life’s too short for waiting around, so check out my list below and take as much inspiration as you like to get writing your own bucket list and ticking as many things off as you can!
