Toinho 2,210 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Got one in my head and have already ticked off the following: See the pyramids, Taj Mahal, colosseum, climb Mt Fuji, skydive over Cairns (didn't see as much as I'd have liked though...), climb parts of the great wall (original)...probably more. On the list to tick off: Go to every continent, go to a world cup(planning on Russia next year), check out vegas, snowboard in Canada, see the Christ the dereemer, chichen itza, machu picchu.

Danny 2,200 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't really have a bucket list but at the moment I'm living in Australia which is up there, saving to travel SE Asia, going to live in NZ for a year unless I can get another year in Oz and want to go to Central America. Outside of that there's not much else right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,776 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't really feel that there are any particular sights or countries I'd feel disappointed to not visit, but I do want to do a lot of travelling. I'd like to live abroad for a while - be that for work, or in retirement. I really want to work on my German to the point where I can have conversations with people in real life, and learn one more language after that.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,321 Posted August 7, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2017 Don't have a bucket list per se, but there are so many things I want to do... From the top of my head: Go to 24 hours of Le Mans. Do the distillery tour in Scotland. Write a book. Learn to play guitar. Create a substantial passive income. Own a dog. Have my own small garden. Brew my own beer. Buy a Hasselblad camera. Drive a race car. Learn to fly a plane. Visit Cuba. Ride the Trans-Siberian Railway. Cruise the entire Mekong river from China to Vietnam. Taste a scotch that is older than I am (probably should hurry up with this one otherwise it will be too expensive). Buy a motorbike and ride it across SE Asia. This will probably be the last thing I ever do, so I'm keeping it at the bottom of the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,772 Posted August 20, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2019 Working on adding a few things to my bucket list and ticking a few things off in the next few months. Also did a list of 20 things to do before 2020 and I'm doing okay on that too! Those ones are more self care ones than getting out and doing things though.

Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,772 Posted August 20, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2019 Ticked off some of the more sillier ones lately: - Sing in a karaoke bar - Cook for a group of friends And then I've got some upcoming: - Visit Anfield (doing the tour) - Produce a podcast (this is my podcast of me completing the 92 from scratch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I am massively into making lists, as I feel like they help me stay organized. As for a bucket list - I certainly have a few. Become debt free (Including hosue) Visit Portugal, Cuba, Mexico, Austrailia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, and UAE. Live in Europe for a few years (Think this may actually come true in the next couple of years, but we will see) Go to a Montreal Canadians game. Run a marathon in Kenya, with a Kenyan. Run the Western States 100 mile race (You have to qualify first) Run the MOAB 240 mile race Becoming conversational efficient in French Donante an entire paycheck to a charity Go to a football match of: Lyon, PSG, Marseille, Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester, Newcastle, Eintracht Frankfurt Write a book Watch all of the IMBD Top 250 movies of all time Read the New York List best seller top 100 from 1986 (Year of my birth) Those are just a few.

Toinho 2,210 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Outside of travel, which is how I usually see Bucket lists, I would like to become fluent in a language. Japanese would be ideal but I haven’t studied for two years. I Want to be conversational in Spanish and German. Learn the keyboard. I have one - just need to get off my arse and learn. Another travel one - drive from Perth to Sydney or around Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Travel to games abroad, but that bucket list has to have financial backing to be true. Currently only thinking about moving abroad and start my new life in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan on doing a proper racing summer next year by going to 24h of Le Mans, 24h of Spa, 24h of Nürburgring, and a F1 race. Also scratched a few out as I realised I don't have much interest in doing it. Add to the list: Learn Chinese (Mandarin) - in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - my Dad gave me the idea of the NY Times Best Seller from the year of my birth. I think the top selling book that year was Stephen King's 'It', which is no small read. The IMBD is because I never watch movies and have been told on numerous occasions to start on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY Times Best Seller on my birthday was Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King. Just read the plot and I think I'm going to add it to my list of books. Aimed to read 12 books in 12 months this year and have only managed to complete 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I track all my books using goodreads.com, if might help as you can track your progress using ISBN's, and set a goal, and it'll tell you how good/poorly you are fairing.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Decided today that I want to build a watch from scratch. Buy all the parts online and stick it together.
