What is a Bucket List?
A bucket list is simply a list of things you want to do or try before you die. It can seem depressing but in reality, to check something off your bucket list is such an amazing feeling to know that you’ve accomplished something you’ve always wanted to do and now you will forever have that memory.
My name is Ashley and I’ve set out on a journey to complete my full bucket list. It’s extensive but I don’t care. I highly encourage you to create your own and document it so you’ll always be able to go back and see what you did and reminisce on all the details and remind yourself of how you felt in those moments.
Now, let’s get into all the bucket list ideas!

Some are checked already (skinny dipping, hehe, long ago!) but some make me really apprehensive, especially since I’m not a lover of rights, so I guess I’ll skip sky diving. Thankfully I did try paragliding before vertigo became an issue!
