THE BUCKET LIST. I love the movie. And I love thinking of things I’d like to do or experience or achieve one day. I recently turned 21 and realised that I am actually mid-way to my mid-life. Slightly depressing, but true nonetheless. Eek. Therefore, cue The Bucket List. Cheesy and possibly overdone? Yes. But also necessary I feel. It sort of makes my crazy travel ideas and ambitions feel more like goals than dreams. Which makes them feel (slightly) more possible.
I’m trying to build it up to a “40 before 40” list eventually. I also pretty much end up adding to it every time I watch a programme on Discovery or the Travel Channel. Oh well. Can’t blame myself for wanting to get as many experiences out of my life as possible.
I’m crossing them off as I go, and will most likely write about the best ones and include pictures. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words. So without further delay, I bring you Megan’s Bucket List, in no particular order:
