1. Get engaged and married to the love of my life {halfway done. read here}
2. Dive with sharks
3. Travel from the Angolan border of Namibia to the coast of
Mozambique. In a vintage car, with a pop down roof.

to write about.

7. See Mumford & Sons live
8. Learn to speak Italian
9. Travel to Italy and see the place from corner to corner
10. Jump in the Trevi Fountain
11. Visit an authentic Tuscan olive farm
12. Fly first class. I’ve had my fair share of flying and the
worst planes are those little eight seater ones.
13. Compete in a TV game show, ie Idols or Who wants to be a
Millionaire. I don’t think this should be on my list though.
I have no guts to do it.
14. Learn to sew (here)
15. See Florence & The Machine live

22. Take dance classes. We are actually planning to do this soon.
If I can just convince the beau. It was his idea, but now
he’s being stubborn.
24. Scale the Eiffel Tower. Have I ever mentioned how scared I am
of heights?

32. Own a Scottish terrier
33. Own a Staffordshire terrier {read all about her here}
34. Own a bearded dragon

36. Try and own them all at the same time. This is probably going
to be the most challenging thing on my list.

39. Eat sushi in Japan
40. Attend the Rio de Janeiro festival
41. Road trip to Cape Town, through the Karoo and the Winelands

43. Speaking of Top Gear. Meet James May. I love him.
44. Attend Oktoberfest and get smash faced
45. Spend a weekend in a lodge, with a fireplace and bear skin
rugs. That’s so cheesy

49. Ride an elephant
50. Achieve an Honors Degree in Media Studies

54. Shave my head
55. Fly in a helicopter
56. Become a teetotaler for at least two months
57. Lose 12 kgs
58. Run a 10 km Marathon. I put running behind me as soon as I
matriculated, so this is going to take some work.
59. Watch a movie at the drive-in with the beau. He’s been
nagging me to do it.

Spanish will come in handy, then I can curse in Spanish.
61. Attend Tomatina, the tomato festival in Spain.
62. Learn to play an instrument
63. Make a success of something in life. That, I still have to
decide on what it might be. Like own my own craft business.
64. Go on a biking trip between Vineyards. Like literally ride a
pedal bike between different wine farms, while getting smash
faced. I don’t think the teetotaler thing is going to be
easy.

67. Own a cow! Complete with a cow bell

last me at least six years.
70. Cook a lobster, ala Julie/Julia

Jerusalem, Germany and London
75. See Kings of Leon live
76. Attend OppiKoppi (here)
77. Get cremated and have my ashes planted in the ground with a tree, so that I can grow again. That’s very hippyish of me, isn't it? And someone else will have to cross this off my list, I guess.
That's all I have for now. I might add some extra things I would like to achieve before my end of days. Hope you enjoyed reading it.

I love your bucket list - especially all the traveling! I've done some of the thinks like eat sushi in japan, roadtrip to cape town, go on a scooter trip through vietnam, and cage dive with sharks - but there's so many other things on your list that I would also looove to see and do, but haven't yet!
Excited to read about your progress!

This is such a great list, I hope that you get to achieve all these goals.
I love this :) I think you've inspired me to create my own list too!! Whee! xos
I have a Staffy! He's super cute! if you ever scale the Eiffel Tower, please include a post! :)
I see a couple more that can be crossed off... As for #71, you were mine, kinda, although my wedding wasn't full on tradional. ;)
This makes me want to make a bucket list! I can't believe you shave your head, so cool/crazy :)
First off, amazing list! I saw one of the things on your list is to attend Burning Man. My hubby went last year and he is going again this year. He loves it, but not my kind of thing...hope you get an opportunity to go one day!
Oh lady... you could be my soul mate! I would love to join you on all of your bucket list activities! Except maybe number 77. That one should maybe be accomplished solo. But Mumford & Sons, Florence and the Machine and Italy? I'm totally in!
Love this list! Anyone who has a bucket list just makes my heart swell! I will dive for some sharks with you ;)
Wow, I can't believe I make dozens of lists and not one is a list of goals... I'm going to start one right now! And just by reading this, I just know you're a funny girl.
