Asking what's on your bucket list?

I was thinking recently about all the things I want to do and the list keeps increasing. I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford all of them, lmao. One can dream though. What kind of things are on your bucket list? What things have you already ticked off? For the things you've completed would you do them again? A lot of mine are places I want to visit. Another crazy one is that I want to own an Aston Martin one day. I also want to get married and have children one day. Find my soulmate and know that I'm with someone I'm mad about and is mad about me for the rest of my life. I also want to own a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd one day, go Great White Shark cage diving and so many other things.

Nothing at all. I'd like to live long enough to see DD happy and financially independent. Other than that, 'stuff' is of no interest. I'd like to spend a few days in the rocky mountains, with a lake so clear you can see the bottom,, but that is more a savings goal than a bucket list item.

Ride the Rocky mountaineer
See the northern lights
Hold a sloth
Make pottery
Traditional tea ceremony in Japan
Stomp grapes & make wine
Go to a rodeo
Gold hunting with a metal detector
Ride with huskies
Throw an axe
Up Helly
Watch all the best film Oscar winners

That’s about all I can think of for now. I’m sure there could be plenty more if I took a bit more time!

How long do you have?
Surely that determines your bucket list.
Getting a dog when you are dying is a bit selfish- who will look after it?

Nothing really ... perfectly content with the direction life has taken me ... that sounds rather dull but my life is perfectly satisfying Smile and ... apart from world peace and a size 12 figure I don't really have any ambitions.

Have you all got terminal diagnosis?

Going through this at the moment with DH, you all seem very calm whereas trying to do his bucket list is fraught with challenges, time medical, access to what he wants to do.

@TheHoptimist why would you assume any pps are terminally ill? Bucket list universally means a list of things you want to do before you die - there's no connotations that your death has to be imminent afaik...

Take acting lessons, visit Las Vegas, write a full novel

It means the list of things that you plan when you have been given a terminal diagnosis, ie when you have been told that you are about to kick the bucket?

Not just a list of frivalous insta crap?

I thought this was about things you want to do with your life, not some last minute terminal illness wish lis. I don’t think OP has a terminal illness?

Me, more travel, everywhere, that’s my bucket list.

A bucket list is things you want to accomplish in your lifetime. You don't need to be dying.

I only have one as I'm pretty content with my lot. That is to complete a through hike, like the PCT or Te Araroa.
