This past year, I achieved one of my biggest bucket list items: moving abroad and living life as an expat. However, there are still so many items just waiting to be checked off the list.
I’ve always been known to dream big but living in Europe has made the possibility of achieving the majority of my list even more of a reality than it could ever have been if I had stayed in America.
So, since life is short, I’ve decided to share my list with you all! Every time I check something off my bucket list, I’ll be writing a short blog post about it. Some of the things are personal and some are travel related – which I believe really ties the aesthetic of this blog together. Regardless of whether it’s travel or just my regular old life, once it’s checked off, you’ll get to relive the moment with me.
The list may be subject to change (if I add something when it pops in my head, etc).
So, here it is. My ultimate bucket list.
