Why write a bucket list? Well, if you don’t live your days by personal goals and plans, chances are you’ll wind up getting caught up with all the day-to-day chaos in your life.

The whole point of a bucket list is to maximize every moment we have and to live our lives to the fullest. A bucket list is a reminder of what we  want to achieve (instead of wasting precious time on pointless activities!).

I was inspired to create my own bucket list after reading a few on various blogs. How many of us often say “If I could…I would…?” What harm can it do to compile a list of our dreams (albeit mostly far-fetched) and aspirations for the future?

So, here it is, my personal MY BUCKET LIST (in no specific order):

1.) Take latin dance lessons
2.) Learn another language (which would qualify me “quadri”lingual!)
3.) Travel around the entire world!
4.) Write a book about my travels
5.) Have a successful blog and inspire others (I think I’m well on my way!)
6.) Retire early!! (Once retired spend half the year living in Canada and the other half in Sardegna)
7.) Swim with sharks (Been there, done that!)
8.) Learn how to sew (no more spending big bucks on designer clothes-wouldn’t it be great to make your own knock-offs?!)
9.) Open a dog kennel for stray dogs
10.) Master vegan and raw food cooking
11.) Be a flight attendant for a month (or more if I like it!)
12.) Climb Mount Everest Climb to Base Camp
13.) Take photography lessons (I’m teaching myself basic photography…does that count?!)
14.) See the Northern Lights
15.) Get a black belt in karate (And to think I quit karate when I was 12!!!)
16.) Learn how to scuba-dive
17.) Visit a haunted place (visited the underground city in Edinburgh)
18.) Learn sign language
19.) Reach 100 1000 likes on my blog! ALMOST THERE!!
20.) Publish my recipes My recipes were published in the Windsor Parent Magazine in June 2012, June 2013, and September 2013
21) Have my own Youtube channel (working on it!)
22) Write my own cookbook (working on it!)

So…what’s on YOUR bucket list??
