But now we have all started a new year and that means setting new bucket list goals for 2021! 2020 was a hard year for us as it was for many of you! Between losing my mother, Lilian Madan Gamble, in March and then being hit with a global pandemic, not much happened with our Bucket List Project. But now we are gifted with a new year and that means hopefully…
Admittedly, we women can be hard to shop for. Unless the woman in your life is willing to give you a detailed list of what she wants and where to get it, she’s likely to be disappointed with at least one gift this year. We are complex, with a wide range of interests and hobbies. Those of us who are working to tick specific items off our bucket lists can be even harder to shop for – especially if it…

Big City life is overrated. There, I said it. When I was growing up in a small town in Wyoming, moving to the big city was always something that sounded so appealing. It’s become mythologized, this idea of gathering up everything you own and starting anew in some glitzy metropolis where the horizon is full of towering skyscrapers and blinking lights.

The start of 2020 has surely been tough on a lot of people for different reasons. But for me, it has been wrought with challenges that unfortunately have prevented us from chasing our bucket list. Don’t get me wrong, I know that sometimes life can definitely be hard and that means we need to be flexible with our goals. But when things get tough for me, I tend to look for motivational quotes in order to reinvigorate myself and my…

It has been one month since I lost my mom, Lilian Madan Gamble. I struggle to write this post for many reasons. Perhaps, it is because it doesn’t really feel like she is gone yet. Or perhaps, it is because I am not sure it is quite proper to share such a post on a Bucket List blog. But, after much consideration, I decided to share this to not only honor my mom but also to perhaps inspire others with…
The UK is a well-known literary paradise and as a self-proclaimed “book nerd,” I was excited to explore the stomping grounds of C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, William Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Michael Bond and Charles Dickens to name a few. However, one of my favorite moments of the trip came with a more modern literary connection when my love of Harry Potter and affinity for trains combined for a perfect afternoon on the Real Hogwarts Express. The…
There is no doubt Colombia is a great destination for bucket list travel, especially along the coast.

However, one of the craziest and most unique bucket list experiences is to bathe in the Totumo Mud Volcano! Colombia’s Mud Volcano Just 45 minutes outside of Cartagena, at 49 feet high, lies the smallest volcano in Colombia, Volcan del…
