About Me

My photo
A wise Australian tells us she was "born to try". I would like to say that I was "born to experience" A Kiwi trapped in the vast untamed wilderness of downtown Melbourne, Australia. I live a life of with drop-bears, hungry sharks and as much weekend skydiving as I can cram in. I am one half of a trans-Tasman relationship with the best friend I have ever known. He brings out my crazy, and I drag him over the globe.

THE BUCKET LIST (a work in progress)

I recklessly bragged in my first blog post that I was planning to document a "Bucket List Life", which is in essence what this entire endeavour is based on.  Due to pressure from various third parties and rampant threats of plagiarism, it is time for the Bucket List to begin!  


I should note before I begin that I have an indescribable desire to experience everything possible, however the following items are those that I can specifically identify and work towards:

  1. Obtain solo paragliding license and purchase paraglider
  2. Paraglide in the Norwegian fjords
  3. Carnaval...
  4. Visit Mount Fuji during cherry blossom season
  5. See a polar bear
  6. Cross a desert by camel
  7. Attend Heliboogie in Norway
  8. Do the highest bungy in the world
  9. Go skinny-dipping in a frozen lake
  10. Own a dog
  11. Visit at least 3 of the top 10 Earth's extreme places http://www.oddee.com/item_96770.aspx
  12. Visit a Buddhist temple in Tibet
  13. Bicycle at least 800km cross-country
  14. Attend an ANZAC day at Gallipoli
  15. Sleep in a hammock
  16. Make a difference
I would love to hear further suggestions, no matter how out of left field or whacky they may be!  Our plan is to tick some of these boxes on our way around the globe but I would welcome any experiences you may have had or have heard about.  We aim to leave a lot of the first-world creature comforts; I hear the rickshaw is the ultimate in getting from A to B!
