Here is the home of my BUCKET LIST updated as of 24-08-12. This is the stuff I want to do. While some of these are one off’s others are about learning and expanding my knowledge and experiences but they are all worth the effort in on way or another.
I wrote this as a blog post but I thought its own page would be better so I know where to go when I get to check them off my list. This is about setting goals and achieving them and it is always great when one of them gets knocked off the list.
