My Bucket List

Some may see creating a 'Bucket List' at the age of 20 (although I've been working on it since I was about 15) as a little sinister and morbid. I don't see it this way; rather than thinking of it as a list of things I want to do before I die, I see it as a target for the way I want to live my life.

Some of the things here may seem boring and mundane, especially to those among you who live on the wild side, but I am a firm believer that it is the little things in life that make you happy.

  2. What a great dream list, Laura. I hope you get to do lots of them and can honestly say that swimming with dolphins is better than you can imagine - they are so strong and smooth and a hot air balloon flight is incredible. (Went from Leeds Castle and even though I know the area well, I was blown away by how different, and peaceful, everything looks. Take a jumper though it get chilly up there) Rachael
