Everyone has a list of things they want to do. From the most basic to the most impossible. As you know from reading previous posts, one of my biggest desires is to travel.
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.
However, there are many things I’d like to do with myself.
What is a Bucket List?
A Bucket List is a list you make of things you want to achieve and/or experience within your lifetime.
What is the point of writing a Bucket List down?
Have you ever gone to a grocery store without a list? I have. Plenty of times! What happens without a list? You forget things. You end up getting things you didn’t really wanted or needed, but, grabbed it because it was there.
Writing down your Bucket List is pretty much the same concept. You want to know that you are crossing off the things you want and need. Not settling for a poor imitation.
I wrote down my bucket list within the last year. No, I don’t think you’re ever too old to start one. I’ve let things pass me by in the past ten years. Well, no more.
Bucket List
- Travel the country by RV
- Set my lifestyle up to work freelance from the road while traveling
- Visit all fifty states. Even if just driving through
Move out of my born and raised state of Delaware- Go on a Mediterranean Cruise
- Visit Area 51
- Travel the country by rail
Write a book and get it published- Learn a second language
- Learn sign language
- Learn how to bartend
Go back to college and get my Bachelors Degree- Get back down to my ideal weight
- Start my own business
- Fly in a hot air balloon
- See the Northern Lights
- Witness a Lunar eclipse
- Witness a Solar eclipse
Take a dance class- Fly into space
Buy a brand new car. Not used- Go to the airport and catch the next flight out. No itinerary
- Live in a different country for at least three to six months
- Fly first class
- Go on a vacation. By myself
Go on a cruise- Build up my retirement fund
- Go up to a stranger and introduce myself
Road trip down the west coastChange my careerBinge watch Netflix for an entire weekendFall asleep in a fieldVolunteer – I’ve worked with Meals on Wheels, March of Dimes and a shelter- Speak in front of a large crowd
Become a pets human- Become debt free
This is my Bucket List. Some things I had already done prior to this list, but, I would have added them even if I hadn’t done them. Plus, well, it makes it look like I’ve done something with my life, doesn’t it? I know there are more things I want to add and I will as I remember them.
You may however be questioning the retirement fund. I added that because the longest job I’ve held was eight years. And these days? Not many companies offer what they did in the past so that you feel secure enough to retire. And as I don’t want to work until the day I die? Building up my retirement is definitely something I want to experience!
Now that you’ve seen my list, what about you? What is the biggest thing you would put on your list? What about the smallest?

What a fun idea. I have bucket list ideas in my head, but I’ve never written them down. Your list gives me some great ideas too!

I have a bucket list, but I really need to update it. Warning: Once you fly first class, you can never go back to coach. For reals! I’ve spoken in front a large crowd lots of times and it gets easier every time. I remember the first time – my mouth was so dry and I thought I was going to be sick. You have a great bucket list and I hope you do them all in your lifetime.

I think it’s so important to have a bucket list and to really keep it in the forefront of your mind. You don’t want to look back on your life and be filled with regret.

This sounds like a great bucket list of things to do. I too would love to travel the country by RV. It would be amazing to be on the go and visit so many towns across the nation.
