Bucket List Bingo!

What’s on Your Bucket List?

Hey there my fellow freedom seeker,

I watched ‘The Bucket List’ this week for the first time in years (lovely movie), and it led to me reviewing my own pretty ambitious list.

As Morgan Freeman & Jack Nicholson say in the movie ‘the years pass like smoke through a keyhole’, and at our age we’ve likely got fewer years ahead than behind, so if we’re going to do the big stuff, it’s time to start planning!

Not everything’s doable right now for obvious reasons, but I live in hope. 

So here are the top five on my list at the moment: 

1. The Great Migration, Serengeti – Millions of wildebeest thundering across the plains. Absolutely wild. I’d love to see it with my own eyes just once.

2. An Antarctic Icebreaker Expedition – Icebergs, penguins, the Southern Ocean in all its glory. I know I’ll hate the cold, and probably spend a few days clutching the rails in rough seas, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see nature doing its thing.

3. Old City, Jerusalem – So much history packed into one place. Probably not one for the immediate future, but I’d love to go when things settle down.

4. The Trans-Siberian Railway (Moscow to Mongolia) – This has been on my list for a long time ever since a friend did it years back. Sadly, on hold for the moment but hopefully pics of me in a Mongolian Yurt to follow! 

5. The Avatar Mountains in China (Zhangjiajie) – Apart from Avatar being one of my fave movies, the pics of these mountains look other worldly! This is my ‘see something majestic’ (movie quote) moment. 

I realise the term bucket list is a bit depressing in its literal form, but it says what it is while reminding us we’re not going to live forever, so we better get a move on! 

So, what’s on your list? When was the last time you created or reviewed it?

Bucket List Bingo

In Jan I shared my goal setting bingo game. Let’s adapt it to your bucket list goals!

Here’s mine;

The idea is, you get a reward every time you cross off a full line of goals (or bucket list goals in this case). Although I would say if yours looks anything like mine, the trips are reward enough!

Grab your Canva template here, fill it in & stick it on the fridge (or in your travel bag) to remind you of your dreams and keep you headed in the right direction!
