With inspiring Bucket List stories, the goal is to share once-in-a-lifetime experiences, people accomplishing them, and hopefully inspire readers to go out and do them.
Many people often say they want to travel somewhere, accomplish some feat, or desire to improve themselves. However, they lack the motivation. So with these inspiring bucket list stories hopefully you fill find ways to relate to others who are living out their bucket lists. Perhaps you will see that people just like you have found the reason to live the life they have always wanted to live and you can do it too!
Remember, “It is Better to Live One Day as a Lion, Than a Thousand Days as a Lamb!”
At the end of each December, I often sit down with my Bucket List notebook and ponder what I want to accomplish and where I want to go for the coming year. For me, I find that writing out a time line not only helps me plan what I want to do but gets me excited about what the coming year has to offer. If you would like to see what we did in 2017, check our 2017 Completed Items. So…
Why Volunteering Abroad Should Be On Your Bucket List With the age of technology bringing us more information about desired locations, must-do excursions, and global events, our bucket lists get longer and longer with no end in sight. Great, at least we know how to stay occupied while we’re here. But prepare to add just one more to your list, if it isn’t already there. And if it is, bump it up. Because a volunteer abroad program should definitely be…
One of the best “side effects” of The Bucket List Project is hearing all the different bucket list dreams people often share with me. To see their faces light up as they describe the adventures, travels, or projects they want to complete makes my heart happy. Occasionally people will share with me a bucket list item that makes even me think, “Really? You must be crazy! I would never want to do that.” Now don’t get me wrong, I would…
Recently, I traveled to Mammoth Lakes, California in celebration of one of my best friend’s 40th birthdays. It was a wonderful trip filled with tons of outdoor adventure and much needed respite. Most know Mammoth Lakes as a popular winter destination because it offers unbelievable skiing. But after a week, I came to realize that Mammoth Lakes has a lot to do during the summer. Here are my 11 reasons everyone should make Mammoth Lakes California – A Summer Bucket…
A Very Merry Blogiversary to Me! This month The Bucket List Project is celebrating its one year Blogiversary (is that a thing?) and at the same time, The Bucket List Project’s 50th Blog Post! First of all, I want to say, “THANK YOU” to all my friends, family, and followers of The Bucket List Project. You all are the reason why I have had a remarkable year!

A Bucket List Dream: Riding in the Upper Deck of a Boeing 747 There are a lot of “Bucket List” things I’ve dreamed about doing but one of them that I never thought I’d actually be able to do was ride in the upper deck of a Boeing 747. It’s a dream I’ve had since I was a little kid but as I’ve gotten older and airlines increasingly started retiring them my hope for making it happen began to dwindle….
About 10 years ago, a group of crazy people calling themselves ‘The Adventurists’ created an insane 14-day Bucket List adventure race – The Rickshaw Run. Essentially, they created an adventure where participants drive a 3-wheeled Tuk Tuk (a tricycle with an engine) across all of India. The catch? Well, no one knows what will happen during the race or if they’ll even make it to the finish line. If you are crazy enough to enter this insane adventure race, you…
The Liebster Award! Recently, I received an email informing me that the Bucket List Project was nominated for Liebster Award by Andreea of 10TravellingTips. If you don’t know Andreea, she’s a Romanian ex-flight attendant that shares her traveling experience, after visiting more than 60 countries, by adding 10 easy travel tips for each place visited. So what is the Liebster Award? The Liebster Award exists only on the internet, and is given to bloggers by other bloggers. Earliest cases of the award go as far back…
People are often asking me how I learn about these crazy adventures, experiences, or places to travel that are on my Bucket List. Well, the internet of course! I not only scour the internet but I subscribe to numerous travel and adventure blogs out there to learn about the world. That is how I found out about The Travel Whispers Blogger Challenge! The Travel Whispers Blogger Challenge is the brain child of travel blogger, Stephanie Fox. Aimed at rounding up 2016 and…
It’s that time again, time for reflecting and planning out my 2017 Bucket List Hopes and Goals! I was home from India for barely a week when I started getting that same damn question, “So what’s next on the Bucket List Project?” It is a question that sometimes bothers me. I appreciate that people are excited for the next adventure (as am I), but sometimes I just want the chance to enjoy the items previously accomplished and tell that story before moving…
