Bucket lists are a list of achievements or experiences which a person wants to achieve in their lifetime or within a certain time period.
Bucket lists are very personal, as there are usually reasons behind each point on the list. I know that I might not manage to do everything on my list, but there is nothing wrong with aiming high. Many of the things on my list seem a bit cliche but that's because the cliche things are usually awesome things to experience.
If you are looking for bucket list ideas, here is a snapshot of my most recent one (I have done the underlined ones):

Luckily, I have already manage to cross off lots of things but I still have lots of things to do and I do keep adding to my list. I like having a bucket list as it gives me something to aim towards and I get great satisfaction crossing things off lists!
