Nice bucket list, have you done any of these?

I've only done the ones where I said "relearn ____" So I used to know how to sail, waterski, ride horses and speak French and Swedish, but it's been forever and I want to get all of those things back. I guess it's not strictly a bucket list. More of an ambitions list.

That's awesome. I need to create a Bucket list

Haha, well thank you very much. I think maybe I better get started on these. Instead I am working all the time and then I am too tired to do other things.

Does this qualify as a bucket list? this looks more like buckets of lists. :P

cool list ;)

This is a good post. Ninety-two targets you have to do ?

Haha, for a start!

So cool that your bucket-list is mostly about learning and relearning stuff. Good luck!

List is very small..... Ha Ha Ha

Lol, I know. It got away from me. And I'm sure I'm forgetting some things...

wonderful bucket list. upvote your post.

Make sure you let me know if you visit Thailand. I can recommend for you the best places to see, and if you end up in Chiang Mai I can give you a tour to see things that most tourists would never get to see

Also have a lot of info on the Balkans if you want any advice about there as well :-)

Wow, thank you so very much! Not sure when I'll be able to get to Thailand. I hope not too long!
