The 21 Bucket List

I’ve finally conjured up a bucket list (which I will continue to add to)! For now, I’ve started with 21 experiences I have always wanted to have, but why 21 you ask? In light of my 21st birthday this year, which I got to celebrate in Halong Bay, and Hanoi (Check out this post). I’m not giving myself a time limit to accomplish these goals, because I know some of them will take a while to achieve; it is more so a written aid for myself - almost like a journal - to help me keep track of all of the things I want to do. Comment or send me a message about what you think, if anything from the list appeals to you, or if you have other dreams you would like to achieve. Share with me, I would love to know.

1. Learn how to play the piano.
2. Go skydiving.
3. Step foot in every single continent.
4. Rent a truck and drive up to the Yukon. Watch the Aurora Borealis while sitting on the back of the truck. 
5. Go to an Ellen show/ Meet Ellen DeGeneres.
6. Write a book; get it published.
7. Visit each of the 7 Original Wonders of the World.
8. Visit each of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
9. Live in at least 2 countries abroad (Vietnam included and at least one other).
10. Become fluent in at least 5 languages.
11. Take singing lessons and sing live.
12. Take a cooking class in every country I travel to, write down all the recipes.
13. Go to an opera.
14. Rent a bike, bike around the entire province of Prince Edward Island.
15. Graduate from law school.
16. Have my own family (Become a woman that does not have to pick between a successful career and a family life. I want both, and I want to be good at both).
17. Go deep sea diving.
18. Learn how to horseback ride.
19. Ride a really high and fast roller coaster 5 times in a row.
20. Learn how to surf.
21. Take part in the CIBC run for the cure (run for breast cancer).

  1. Horseback riding is SO fun! There's a good place in Niagara Falls where you go for a sunset ride and it includes a picnic!

  3. Hi Madiha, I came upon your blog and find it really interesting and positive. Your section on inspiration is really nice :)

    I have a dream to help others realize their dreams in my small little way. And I have just completed a dream of mine – an iPhone app (adream) where people can share their dreams and goals in a fun way. If you own an iPhone, hope it helps you get closer to crossing items off your bucket list.

    Have fun in Vietnam :)

    Best, Ray
