Life Lists
I’ve heard of the idea of “life lists” before–but became more interested the other day when I stumbled on a life list created by John Goddard when he was 15. This was a life list that I could relate to–and reminded me of my “Big To Do” list that I’ve been maintaining for the last couple of years (all travel destinations–except for my interest in fireworks..)
My Big To Do List:
- climb Mount Kilimanjaro / visit the Serengeti
- raft the Zambezi / visit Victoria Falls
- travel in India
- travel in Thailand / visit Angkor Wat
- get my pyrotechnics license
A quick search of the internet will come up with lots of material on life lists. I really liked the lists at Outpost Magazine and the Travel Channel, but the 43 Things and SuperViva websites are probably more interesting to the general population (and have piles of neat things listed–as well as a few that I don’t understand…)
It’s easy to understand why it’s necessary to plan for the big things in life (like buying a house, taking a year off, retiring, etc.) but these life lists are far more fun and interesting (although a lot still have “buy a house”, etc. on them.)
Check them out….
