Bucket List
I love making lists and on the top of my list of lists is my travel and life bucket list!
Here’s a work-in-progress bucket list of my must-dos and must-sees for life! My bucket list is ever-changing so come back often and see what new items I’ve added and which ones I’ve crossed off!

Hey Connie, don’t see visit Texas on here. *nudge, nudge, laugh* Great list though.
Hi Maria! I updated my bucket list to include a roadtrip across America. I’m sure I’ll swing through Texas during that trip! Thanks for the suggestion!
Now you can cross another item from that list. Hope the volunteering at the Elephant Nature camp was even more awesome and touching than you hoped
It was everything I could ever have hoped for, and more! Truly an amazing experience and I can’t wait to do it again!
I don’t see anything on your list in Japan…. That’s a shame, it’s a beautiful country full of wonders and delights.
I totally plan to go to Japan one day, it’s just not a high priority for me. Not sure why because I love the food, culture, and I’m sure I’d love traveling there too!
Taiwan recommended for your “Explore a country by bicycle and ONLY a bicycle” !! A few people in Taiwan and some surrounding countries have done that! gd luck with it && i hope it’s a good advice for you :)))
I loved Taiwan and have actually thought about going back there for my bicycle trip. Will have to work on the timing and logistics, but thanks for the reminder!
how about travel to mongolia not in your list
I cannot list every single country on my bucket list. I am sure I will get to Mongolia one day…
Connie, Lake Baikal is not in your list
What an inspirting Bucket List! I hope you do your American Road Trip.
I found your blog from the ExpediaChat today.
I really like your post (& clever blog title). I’ll be following along!
Amanda recently posted…A Queensland Itinerary for a Queen
Hi Amanda and WELCOME! Thanks so much for the nice words! Looking forward to sharing adventures with you. What’s your top bucket list item?
Hey Connie, just dropped in to read your NOLA post and ended up here. You better get that Cuba trip under your belt or soon you won’t be able to cross it off the list. 😉 Also, gas prices are about right for that American road trip. And while we’re on the subject of bucket lists, the top of mine is the Northern lights.
Happy New Year! May it bring you lots of excitement and travels and new friends and old friends
Hi Ivana! Happy new year to you and your family! Thanks for the message! Yes, so much to do but so little time to do it. I’m doing my best! =)
