Kicking the Bucket List out to show
December 9, 2009 Leave a comment
Ok so I’m finally going to put up my bucket list page, But it still needs your help! I need new ideas, places.
Thanks to some other blogs (Location 180, really helped) and websites I finally got what has been in my head for years. I hope to use this page and this post as a way to make me do it, along with a way I will share some of the stories (along with a better way to understand me and some of my posts).
I’m still a baby in this blog world, but I gain new ideas and knowledge everyday. This page will be mostly for me but also for the few readers I have to also see.
The list has been forming in my head a long time, then during college I knew there was some things I really wanted and needed to do before this date, this year, this time period, along with a challenge to myself to learn more and gain more experiences. To me traveling and culture exchanges have been where I have learned the most about myself. The past year here in Bulgaria and the Peace Corps have taught me A LOT about myself but I have also gained some skills and travel that helped me find more out. As a kid I have always wanted to see polar bears in their natural habit or go to all 50 states but new ones like learn how to knit sweaters or get my master’s are new ones. I know more will be added and hoping just as more will be taken off/completed!
So welcome to my journey we call life!
Thanks to twitter and blogs out there that helped me put this out into the open and for the idea! (even thought you have no clue who I am, thanks)
