Welcome to my bucket list! It is a never-ending work in progress, continuously being altered and updated.
Anything is possible in my mind, so it’s a good idea to plan the things we want to happen.
It is my hope that you use these bucket list ideas and examples as inspiration to create your own cool and adventurous bucket list. And then you take at least one step everyday to complete the items on it. Having this bucket list has huge influence on my life (for the better, of course!) and I wish the same for you.
As I was compiling the things I want to happen I used Pinterest to look at other people ideas which allowed this list to grow from 10 to 100+ items. As I also completed a lot of things that either were on my list or were listed on other people’s list I decided to include them when I thought it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it.
Experiences are segmented in a few categories and some of them will have empty or full diamonds that indicate whether this is already completed or not.
