Where I am

Things I want to do

So in light of my earlier post about traveling, I thought I would compile a little bucket list of things I would like to do/achieve before, well, I kick the bucket.  I suppose it’s more of a “to do” list than a bucket list, but whatever, technicalities.  In no particular order and to be added on to:

  1. Travel the world ( √ Zambia 4 – 11 August 2011, Ireland 11 – 19 May 2012 )
  2. Trek through Africa in a truck – I have this vision of me sitting with my kids under a Baobab somewhere
  3. Change my surname back to my maiden name – I have done this unofficially, just need to go get my ID
  4. Buy my own property out in the countryside and live a self sustained lifestyle – Step 1 completed of this, renting for now, moved in 26 November 2011.
  5. Buy a car that is less than 5 years old – I bought a truck that just missed the mark last year it was 5 years old but it’s awesome and will do!
  6. Bungee jump
  7. Climb a mountain (planning to do Kilimanjaro first)
  8. Go on a meditation/silent retreat
  9. Create my soul retreat
  10. Stop working for a boss in an office (plan to this within the next year) – plans are in motion
  11. Go on holiday to the coast with my kids
  12. Go for a weekend away to a log cabin with a fireplace – kinda did this with my friend Tash, girls weekend away
  13. Go to Namakwaland in flower season
  14. Go to the Berg in snow season and build a giant snowman and have a snowball fight and make a snowangel
  15. Buy a decent camera
  16. Start a community gardening project
  17. Run my home off solar power (rental house has solar heating – that counts a bit)
  18. Learn to speak 1 x African language and Spanish (I would also love to be able to speak Italian)
  19. Learn to play the Cello – started lessons 21/09/11 (yay me)
  20. Write a book/s
  21. Home school my kids
  22. Continue to be happy
  23. Go on a road trip through South Africa (or any other continent for that matter)
