The key thing when writing your own bucket list is not to look back and regret what you haven’t done or missed opportunities. Avoid asking what happened or how you could have kept hold of something you loved or you’ll end up crying in the fetal position inhaling chocolate like air. Rather look forward and imagine what you could do and who you could be.
Oh what a pity! I was actually staying in the area that week, but you hadn’t liked my blog yet so I didn’t know about it… looks like it went well though
Oh what a shame! Where you on holiday?
awesome list! some good ideas for me to steal
go for it just give me some ideas too!
one on my list is to drive from the top of one continent to the bottom, and another is to get flying lessons
well I’ve done the flying lessons, licensed glider pilot me hehe. The other one actually needs to be added with a little tweaking
ah! serious?! …envy!

the driving one? lol dont worry im going to be like a factory they’ll be more ideas heading your way. just trying to pic the best ones. 
well have a look at number 30….

Awesome! I have a bucket list of my own as well and I’m excited to get each of them done!
It’s really cool that you want to meet Aung San Suu Kyi. A very remarkable woman. 
I like #2 the most! Maybe I can borrow that and add it to my list as well. 
I hope you complete this and make another one soon! 
I just started following your blog!!! The Bucket List Page is an excellent idea – I’m so glad that we connected over the “blogger miles.” Happy New Year. Looking forward to the adventures that are awaiting us in 2013…
What a lovely comment and thank you for popping over to my little blog. Really look forward to reading yours and your comments on mine for 2013
My bags are packed and I’m ready for the journey ahead….baton down the hatches!

Whats your next one going to be?
So sorry not to reply sooner Katie, I am saving up for a great typewriter so I guess that would be the next one
Really good idea!
Make your own one, they are really liberating!
I’ll have to try that, thanks!
