My Bucket List

I've always been taught to dream big. I like adventure and want every day of my life to be worthwhile. The following is a list of things I want to accomplish before I die, or "kick the bucket." Some of them I have already completed and some may never be met. However, as long as I am working on making the things on this list happen, I'll feel like I have accomplished something in my life.
