I feel a little naughty writing this as I should be getting on with my work hehe (p.s. I work for myself for those of you imagining me at an office sneakily writing this on a tab and switching to my 'work page' every time the boss walks near :P -and yes I will be the first to admit I have been there in my much younger years! As you can imagine, I didn't stay for long.. life has to inspire me!)

Anyway, I have been really excited about writing this challenge! I am a huge dreamer and I put that down to being a Pisces. I haven't thought about what exactly I am going to write yet, so this really is a free-flow post! But this is what I love about Steemit; I feel confident to just write in free-flow style. Of course I will check my spelling and formatting, but I like that I can just type straight from my mind without having to triple check everything I say. I guess it's easier when I am writing about personal topics rather than trying to educate others.

My Bucket List!

This challenge reminds me of creating a vision board in which to manifest dreams!

So here goes, in no particular order, these are some of the first things that pop to my mind that I would like to do before my soul leaves my body and ventures off into the cosmos.

Costa Rica & Central/ South America

So my Steemit friend @daltono has influenced my first entry. He is currently in Puerto Rico (Caribbean) and having read a few of his posts before writing this, it reminds me of my desire to travel and explore that part of the world.

I haven't yet been to America at all (apart from Vegas for 5 days for an IBM conference YEARS ago when I worked in the corporate world).

My destination preference is anywhere with natural beauty. A mountain range, a deserted beach, a forest! Anything that is able to surround me with natural beauty.

I wanted to do my first yoga teacher training in Costa Rica but it was quadruple the price of Rishikesh, which is the yoga heart of the world, so I chose Rishikesh instead! Costa Rica looks like paradise and nature, beaches, ocean and jungles fascinate me!

I love being anywhere remote, I remember sailing to the Marshall Islands and feeling so free that I was on a tiny little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with hardly anyone around. I was happy! However, I was with crew who didn't want to be there, they wanted to be in the ports of the South of France or Florida (!!!!). I AM a sociable person, and love meeting new people, however there is something so refreshing and peaceful about just being with one or a few people in the middle of nature. I am a country bumpkin so although I have spent some time in big cities, I prefer being away from too many people and commercial buildings etc. My experience of walking through a mall in Tsim Sha Tsui on a Saturday in Hong Kong central was not appealing, as soon as I entered, it took all of 5 minutes to turn around, leave and travel back to the Gold Coast where I was staying!

I was just about to insert a load more images from the Marshall Islands, but actually I will save that for a whole other post on one of my 'Travel Throwback' posts! So keep an eye our if you are interested ;)

Watch a piano concert at the Royal Albert Hall, London

This has most likely been influenced by the fact I am listening to piano music right now. I always play it quietly when I work as it uplifts me, keeps me calm and makes me happy!

I really appreciate talented musicians in general. Being British I have to attend the Royal Albert Hall at least once in my life! So perhaps I should keep an eye out for their events until a great piano concert is advertised!

Learn to play the piano

I used to have keyboard and piano lessons as a child. However the last time I read and played music was more than 15 years ago. I would love to learn to play the piano again in the future! :D

Eco Yoga Studio

This is my dream! To own my own wooden style eco yoga studio where I can practice when ever I please, and teach small private groups yoga and meditation! I always think about exactly how I would love it to look. I am truly manifesting this!! There has to be a lot of windows and natural light looking out on to beautiful nature. This will be like my perfect little den that I can work from, help others in, and be inspired :)

One like this:

Retreats

I would also love to run my own yoga retreats in the future. There you heard it here online first! So when that time comes, you can say you read it on my bucket list :D

I am working on a couple of different projects, myself and teaching small groups yoga where I am living at the moment.
But once I have finished the projects I am working on, I will have time to explore and create this dream!

New Zealand

Ok so I am not sure how many entries I am supposed to write (I could go on forever, as there is SO much to see and experience on our wonderful planet!).

New Zealand is right up there as one of the places I reeeeeally want to explore! I am happy to get the camper van and travel all over :D The pictures, videos and feedback I have witnessed makes New Zealand so appealing to me. The landscapes is what draws me to this fascinating place!

Design and build a house

One more! This is quite a big dream, but its certainly do-able. I would love to find a plot of land in the countryside and build an eco house to live in (with my studio on the side :D).

I better get working hard for this last one! Or maybe.... Steem will go on the biggest bull run hehe! ;)

That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed reading my bucket list! :)

Also, if you know or hear of any other Steemit challenges that you think I should participate in, please tag me or let me know! I do love a great challenge!!! :)

Right, I better get back to working on my projects now!!! Have a great day you lovely Steemions x
