Have you seen the movie the Bucketlist with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman?
If you haven’t, I highly recommend you do! It is one of my all-time favorite travel movies! I sure hope it will motivate you to go out into the world, explore and discover.
I have always made a habit of writing down exactly where I wanted to travel. I believe this formula has been quite successful since I have been very fortunate.
Life has been incredibly good to me. In the past decade, I have visited 25 countries in 5 continents and there’s many more to come!
Its pretty much the law of attraction but written down on paper or stored electronically in this case.
I have even created a wallpaper to constantly remind me about it and of course daydream (it doesn’t hurt one bit, right?)
Travel is really necessary. Not only then will you be able to get to know more about yourself and others but you will truly appreciate who & what you have in your life.
It takes time, planning, dedication and some discipline. Like any other goal in life, the more you focus on it the faster you will reach it. Don’t you think?
Leaving your comfort zone might be scary but try it! Getting to know other people and cultures is totally rewarding and life-changing! Not to mention the incredible memories you take back with you!
I invite you to take a look at my Buckelist. Why not create your own? Give it a go!
I look forward to read your lists!
Til next time.

I like your bucket list–it bears resemblance to mine except for one thing I could never do–cut off sugar for a month
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read my list!
Well I want to give it a try but you know I love chocolate. Giving up will definitely drive me nuts!
Happy travels,
Kay
I actually haven’t seen that movie, better getting going on that.
Great bucket list! I learned about belly dancing the hard way (at a company holiday party a while back haha). Hoping to do #43 this year, ideally over San Francisco and Napa Valley.
Thank you Aaron! Oh you REALLY have to see the movie! It’s very nice & the locations are just impressive!
I am still lol about your belly dancing story! Well we learn new things when we least expect it
A hot-air balloon ride must be incredible and the view? Out of this world.
Lucky you, hope you have a blast!
Cheers,
K
Nice bucket list. I REALLY like #4, and #s 12, 16, 31, 32, 39, and 41 are also great ideas, stuff that I have never even though of.. Good thinking Kay! I’m curious though, is this your bucket list, or have you had to adjust your list b/c of things already accomplished? I kept checking things off my original bucket list so for 2012 I came up with a new 366 item super intense for-travel-blogger’s-only bucket list… now even if I spend the rest of my life traveling, I will never accomplish them all LOL. Anyway, I enjoyed reading, so keep writing and keep traveling!
Thank you Derek, I am happy to know that you liked my list!
Actually I keep adding things to this list. I have a separate list of things accomplished! You can check it here:
I check them off once they have been realized or completed. It helps me stay focused and motivated!
Your super intense list may be long but you have the rest of your life!
Keep dreaming, traveling, exploring & smiling!
All the best,
Kay
Pingback: Travel bucket list compilation: It's #TravelBL Wednesday!
TYVM for including me! I appreciate it.
That’s a great list – I love how different all your goals are! I agree with you on many of them. I got to do #11 (Bora Bora) this summer and I have to say that it’s worth it! And, travel to other places in French Polynesia if you get the chance….the crystal blue waters, sunny skies, not to mention world class diving in Rangiroa where we got to do another of your goals – swim with dolphins!
I love your bucket list!!! I wrote down mine couple of weeks ago and I think there are some things I will edit now that I read yours
)))
Thank you carino! Oh I’d like to see your own list. What kind of things did you like from mine?
Un *abrazo*

First of all, I LOVE that you write down where you want to travel and you make a wall hanging out of it. I have a mood board as well and that’s inspiring. I too would love to swim with a dolphin one day!
Thank you for your comment Charu sweetie. Well it’s a way of reminding myself what I truly want to accomplish in this lifetime. They are attainable goals! All in it’s due time right? So far I can say that life has been incredibly good to me. I bow in gratitude
Pyramids are Okay, but I suggest to You a cruise on Nile. Did I see any Nordic countries on Your list?
Happy travel!
Kiitos paljon for your comment!
Well I have never been to Egypt and there are many other things to see and places to visit besides the pyramids. I think I did write on my Bucketlist a cruise on the Nile. I would love to stare in wonder at Abu Simbel & make it to Mount Sinai perhaps?;)
The Nordic countries I want to visit are all of them ha ha you are right, I should add them!
I looked at your blog & love the pics!
Thanks for stopping by
