In August 2010 I decided to update and publish my bucket list! Since then, I have enjoyed reading the lists of fellow travelers and find myself adding new items from time to time.
That being said, I figured it was time to display the list in a more prominent position than simply being listed in one post.
If I haven’t seen your bucket list before, please share 🙂

GOALS (and not so much bucket list-ish)
– Visit NYC at least once every three years.
– Visit my friends in London at least once every five years.
– Go to the Outer Banks of North Carolina (OBX) each summer as I have for all but five years of my life.
– Invest time and money learning how to cook. I bake, but I rarely cook, and I am sure I would love it if I tried.
– Relearn Spanish so I don’t put all of those years of high school and early college study to waste.
– Resume baking gluten and dairy-free recipes once I have the ingredients and a kitchen again. (check out the foodie sites on my Links page)
– Resume Turbo Jam and Zumba workouts as soon as possible (i.e., when I can take a class or have a DVD player).
– Volunteer with an organization at least once every two weeks when I’m settled/living in one place.
– Work for organizations that promote healthy lifestyles and have a positive culture.
– Continue performing in plays at church once I’m back home.
And there you have it! While I’m not guaranteed a tomorrow to tackle the list, hopefully I have many more to come.
