  2. This is the best list -bucket list I ever saw. I made one similar to this a while away and shared it with a friend. We achieved it all but one…
    simply awesome.

  4. Love your list! I’m approaching 60 and have been thinking a lot about writing a “bucket list” of my own. It would be quite different from yours but I would certainly borrow a few elements… in fact, I’ve already accomplished 9 of yours so we definitely have some similar interests. Until recently, zip-lining over the rainforest would have been on my list but I did that in Costa Rica in January! You can read about that trip on my blog if you’re interested.

  7. You might be interested in Sailing Simplicity. Teresa left Her “traditional” life to live aboard a sailboat, met a life partner, and they now sail together and are in the process of completing a doc. movie “One Simple Question” about their sailing journey to see an iceberg. (Teresa has even done a T.E.D. talk)
    Best wish on your journey.
