  12. 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!

  13. 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

  16. 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

  20. 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. :)

  35. 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…

  79. Andi what an amazing list! I still haven’t got one. I have a 25 things before 25 list I did 2 months ago (I have 13 months to fufill it) and then my lifetime goals, but I have to say this is the most inspiring list ever. I read an article I think you’d love the other day about ‘Reverse Bucket lists’ though … creating a list of all the things you have done, so equal focus in on what you’ve accomplished so far, not what you havent yet done. Id love to see your list of that!

  123. When I was a kid it was a dream of mine to be a astronaut. Today I’m not sure if I would still be one but I would love to go into space. I would love to experience what space is really like instead of what we just see in pictures. Congrats in completing a lot of whats in your bucket list! I still have a long way to go!

  124. I LOVE this. I have recently started a travel/life blog and think this is a great idea. I have plenty of things I always say are on my bucket list, but have never actually made one. Great, great idea with the documentation.

    I am new to your blog. I love your joy of life. I noticed on your bucket list that you want to learn to sail. My wife Mindy and I sail the Great Lakes but are considering a move to Southport, NC. We’d love to help you check one off your list at no cost. Stay tuned.
