Bucket list

Everyone has a bucket list whether it is written or not, it’s there - and mine has been growing for years – every year I check a few things off it and add ten more.

It’s a wild world out there, and sitting at home in front of the TV, or working 50 hours a week in a job you hate is not going to help you experience it. These are my goals… what are yours?

This list will grow and change and develop, some of these things I will do alone, others I will hope to do with friends. For every moment gained another door opens to so many experiences that I never have imagined. My goal is to find a way through life which encourages education, experience and excitement, no matter my age, my finances or my situation.

What is life if not to be lived?
