‘Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.’

– Robin S. Sharma

Welcome to the part of this site where I share my humungous (and ever-growing) bucket list.

If you’re new to the idea of ‘bucket lists’ and not sure what one is, well, in a nutshell, it’s a list of goals you want to achieve in your lifetime. 

And yes, I know this is a helluva long list, but it’s good to set your sights high, right? 

This quote by Robin S. Sharma really resounds with me — ‘Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.’ This is so true, and has become a bit of a mantra for me and has been the catalyst behind my travel addiction. You can find out more about me here.

I really hope that some of these ideas on my bucket list inspire you to build your own awesome bucket list.
