Bucket List: A Lot of Travel and a Little of Everything Else

Oh the places I'll go, the things I'll see

Ever since going to Guatemala at the age of 12 I’ve had a super secret bucket list to which I’ve consistently added and subtracted. I would share little pieces of it from time to time, but never the whole thing all at once. So here it is. My Bucket List. I would love to hear what’s on your bucket list. I may just need to add it to mine!
