My bucket list was inspired by meeting a couple of the guys from the MTV show The Buried Life while I was at Burning Man in 2011. It took over 6 weeks to compile the list and made me realize just how many more fun things I want to do with all the wonderful life that I have left. It took so long to write the list that I started knocking items off before I finished writing it and can’t wait to write all about my other adventures.
I hope it inspires you to dream big too.
