    I love your bucket list!

    For climbing an active volcano, I highly recommend Mt Yasur in Vanuatu (South Pacific)… you can sit on the rim of the crater as it spews out lava! It is so close that it seems like it’s going to land on you, but doesn’t. Prolly one of the coolest things I’ve ever done!

  12. Elizabeth says:

    I mentioned it on twitter, but you might want to check out our website for help planning #1, 17, 29 (Ecuador, Chile & Mt. Meru), 41 and most of 59. The climbing expert here at Adventures Within Reach mentioned that we generally discourage people from climbing ACTIVE volcanoes, but our 4 Peaks trip in Ecuador does include technically non-dormant ones :) Also, you might “Like” our adventure travelers page on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/adventureswithinreach

  13. OMG…love your bucket list!!! So excited that you’ve done so many already. Keep up the good work!!!

  14. well that is one damn impressive list

  15. alexis says:

    I love how “learn how to drive stick shift” is on there twice! It’s really not that hard. just gotta learn first gear and you’re good to go!

    I need to make a bucket list of my own! I have to say that I’m jealous you’ve finished so much of yours! You will be my motivation!

    Much Love,
    Alexis

  19. Norbert says:

    ooo… we have so many things in common on our lists. I haven’t published mine but I’m thinking on doing so in the near future.
    Like you, I have always wanted to just show up at the airport and randomly pick the next flight… lol

    Would love to see how you read Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel without a dictionary. My first language is spanish and I still need to look up for some complex words he uses. :)

  20. Love it! And I’m totally jealous that you swam with whales!! Although, I’ve surfed with dolphins in the wild and that was pretty amazing!!

  21. Dan Collins says:

    Love the bucket list! Some are similar to mine…. never thought of number #32… might add it now though! haha

  22. Nic Julian says:

    Great list, Andi! I must admit, outer space sounds a bit scary to me, but a hot air ballon ride would be awesome. :)

  23. Kyle says:

    YEEEEESSSSS! You completed your #58!!! Rough time of it you must have had :P Haha, so awesome. And so many of these are along the lines of the bucket list I have in my head…

  31. Luke Grose says:

    Hey, i’ve just come across your site – very cool and impressive bucket list.

    Earlier this year I spent a couple of months crossing the Atlantic in a rowing boat and got close to some pretty big whales. It was so tempting to have a swim with them but at the same time extremely daunting as they were so big in relation to the boat so I didn’t go for it. Next time…
