I used a few sites to help me work out what’s on their list that I’ve done, such as http://www.lifelisted.com/life-list/ <— This was the main inspiration and why my list got SO long! (I did however add any that I thought he should have!) At least I can add to my list of things I’d like to experience thanks to his comprehensive list!
Unbelievable list! I will never do even 1% of that!
The travel certainly lengthens the list! But if I’m humble, I’m a little ‘over’ it now, and seeking a more settled life. That being said, I’m sure there’ll still be a bit of travel, just not as much…
