While my 20-something years have been filled with lots of adventures, beautiful travels, loving friends and family, lots of laughter, a few tears and hard work, there’s quite a lot of time left to get things done.

So in no particular order, I fully intend on accomplishing this bucket list at one point or another throughout the next several decades of my life. I see these items mostly as goals, dreams, ambitions, hopes, wants and desires. As I make progress, I’ll cross them off and add the date in which said event/accomplishment occurred. Of course, I’ll consistently add to the list too–ya know, to keep you on your toes.
