What is a Bucket List?
The basic definition is “a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime”. It can include anything from travel to work to family – anything!
For the purpose of this blog, my Bucket List is narrowed down to places I want to travel to and things I want to experience or try.
Yes, there are some things on my list that I have already done or experienced. They are there because I either feel like I didn’t fully embrace it the first time, or I want to better document it on a second round.
I’ve tried to organize items to make them easy to find so you can use them to create your own bucket list, or click links to read about the experiences I’ve had. The links below are categories that I have created for my bucket list. The categories include adventures to do anywhere, bucket list items local to my hometown (Chelsea, MI) and surrounding areas, by US States and items outside of the US.
These links will take you to separate pages where you will find the items that fit into the appropriate categories. Items I have completed will have a check mark next to them and a link to a post about my experience.
If you have any suggestions of things you think I would like to add to my Bucket list based on what you already see there, please feel free to contact me – I’m always open to adding to the list!
