Adventure is out there, and I am ready for it! I have come up with this list over the years. When I have came across something that I found exciting I threw it on there. For that reason this list has grown longer than I expected. All that means is that I have a lot to accomplish in my lifetime, and I am totally fine with that! Unfortunately I have not been able to check off too many items on the list so far but I am so excited to continue :).

Listed below are the things that I am looking forward to experiencing, as well as the few things that I have done. It’s not in any particular order, excluding the first one. It has always been my dream to go to Australia and koalas are my favorite animal, so to combine that has always been my number one. Some you may think are so simple so why have them on my bucket list? I’m going to explain my reasoning for some of them under the list.

I used the ‘✓’ to indicate something I have done and the ‘±’ symbol to show something I have began but not yet finished.

As I said, some of the things that I added to my bucket list are simple but for me they are things I would like to experience in my lifetime. I am going to explain some of them…
– Add a lock to the Love Lock Bridge in Paris –
This isn’t a simple one BUT I was told that they had to take the locks off the bridge because they were starting to weight it down… Therefore, I won’t be able to do this one but I wanted to include that on the list.
– Walk through Central Park in the fall and the winter –
For this one, it’s not just the fact of walking through during the time of winter or fall but to get a Pinterest like picture during each of these seasons. I would like to get a picture of a pure white winter wonderland, the snow laying on the benches, trees and the ground. As for the fall, I would like to see (and get a picture) of the autumn theme all throughout the park. The just fallen orange, yellow and brown leaves that are transitioning into the chilly weather.
– Visit the Empire State Building at night –
Since I have now visited the Empire State Building during the day, I could only imagine how stunning it looks at night. I have flown over the city at night so I would like to see the city lights at a closer view.
– Walk through a field of sunflowers –
This is probably the most simple thing that could be on a bucket list but sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower. I could relax in a sunflower field for AWHILE and be content. That would probably be what my version of heaven would be, haha.

If there are any others that seem to be too simple, question it with a comment! I hope you enjoyed my list and can even build on yours. Let me know what some of your bucket list items are 🙂

See ya,
Samm 🙂
