"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page"-Saint Augustine

To-Do List

At 24 25 26 I definitely already have some things I wish I would have done, particularly in high school and college, and regrets are pretty terrifying.  I don't think a single person that knows me would disagree that I am beyond type A (or as a co-worker put it, type TFA); making lists helps me accomplish things.  So I decided to start making a list of some of the things I wanted to do and see in life.  Some are silly, some are serious, some are about travelling, some are small and reasonable, others will be more difficult.  I don't really have them organized in any way, but here's what I have so far:

  1. Become fluent in Spanish
  2. Spend an entire day reading a book
  3. Live in another country for at least 6 months (July 2011-January 2012: Cali, Colombia)
  4. Learn a 3rd language (fluency NOT required)
  5. Live in a city other than Chicago, Iowa City or Cali 
  6. Coach a softball team (FCA Lady Admirals Spring '10 & '11) 
  7. Visit all 7 continents
  8. Make sushi June 9, 2012
  9. Watch the entire Star Wars saga (April 13, 2012)
  10. Complete a 10k  (December 8, 2013)
  11. Go on a service trip in another country
  12. Enter a photo contest
  13. Start a blog (Started August 2011-You're reading it!)
  14. Visit New Orleans for Mardi Gras
  15. See at least one of the wonders of the world (Machu Picchu March 2013)
  16. Visit the Harry Potter Theme Park
  17. Explore the Mayan Ruins in Peru (March 2013)
  18. Complete a multi-day hike
  19. Visit all 50 states (States so far: Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin)
  20. See Iguazu Falls in Argentina
  21. Stand on the equator
  22. Spend a month or more traveling Europe
  23. Visit Austria
  24. Make a successful batch of each of my grandma's Christmas cookies & coffee cake (Recipes so far: church windows, chocolate logs, kolackys, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies)
  25. Go one month without drinking pop (June 2012)
  26. Watch a sunrise over Lake Michigan (July 2013)
  27. Read a book in Spanish
  28. Participate in a bike race
  29. Attempt yoga (Attempted and fell in love April 26, 2012)
  30. Learn to Salsa dance well
  31. Travel somewhere abroad solo
  32. Visit someplace I have never been every year

Stay tuned as I add and edit my to-do list!

      Thanks Becca! I actually met a guy when I was in Buenos Aires last year who was on his way to complete a trip to Antarctica. His pictures look absolutely amazing! Thanks for the reminder to update (and challenge) my To-Do list :-)
