With inspiring Bucket List stories, the goal is to share once-in-a-lifetime experiences, people accomplishing them, and hopefully inspire readers to go out and do them.
Many people often say they want to travel somewhere, accomplish some feat, or desire to improve themselves. However, they lack the motivation. So with these inspiring bucket list stories hopefully you fill find ways to relate to others who are living out their bucket lists. Perhaps you will see that people just like you have found the reason to live the life they have always wanted to live and you can do it too!
Remember, “It is Better to Live One Day as a Lion, Than a Thousand Days as a Lamb!”
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…
Sometimes the most exciting adventure in life is made better with someone special traveling by your side! There is just something magical about having a Couple’s Bucket List & crossing off the many items together. However, not everyone who travels as a couple wants to travel to an all-inclusive resort or visit a theme park. Sometimes they want something a bit more active like an adventure race or a travel competition for adventure couples! Why? Perhaps, it is because couples…
“The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last for ever. Even on the most beautiful days in the whole year – the days when summer is changing into autumn – the crickets spread the rumor of sadness and change.” ―E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web Dang you crickets and your warnings that we cannot enjoy an endless summer! If you’re anything like Eric, your heaven will be 365 days of summer and sun and why not? Summer…
Mark Twain once wrote in a letter to William D. Howells, “The Dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man’s!” There is no doubt that “man” can be unpolished, disloyal, and generally a disaster. If you don’t believe me, then just attend a professional wrestling match and watch the crowd get unhinged! On the other hand, it is easy for us to see how dogs are often loyal, noble, and courageous creatures no matter how…
As I chase the many items on my bucket list, it seems that friends come and go from my life. But I recently read somewhere that “Friends are like stars, they come and go but the ones that stay are the ones that glow!” This is so very true as I grow older. That is why several years ago, I decided to create something I call The Wizard of Oz Dinner. For me it was a way to take the…
I am sure we can all agree that it is often better to give than to receive. In fact, a study from the Harvard Business School shows that finding ways to help others can improve both our mental health and physical self. But with so many problems in the world today, how can we really make a difference? How do we actually tackle difficult situations affecting those in need? How do we find ways to tackle The Helping Others Bucket…
Is seeing more parts of the world is on your bucket list but you never got round to traveling when you were younger? Well, there’s no cut-off point when it comes to experiencing the world. In fact, traveling later in life can be more beneficial to you. If you have been able to stop working, or your everyday duties have diminished, you’re lucky. Now, you can get a lot out of experiencing the world without a time limit. But, when…
The Bucket List Project is presented the Sunshine Blogger Award At the end of September last year, while Darcee & I were travelling around Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein, I received a wonderful surprise email. Amanda Hill of My Sweet Beautiful Life notified me that she had nominated The Bucket List Project for the Sunshine Blogger Award. If you don’t now Amanda, she is a mother of 3, a wife, and a Navy vet who has a passion for travel. I…
Several years ago, my friend Mike shared a video with me of some insane ride called the Mieders Alpine Coaster. This video showed some wild yellow car zipping down a mountain somewhere in Austria. As this poor soul luged down the mountain screaming, I immediately knew that I had to add the Mieders Alpine Coaster to The Adventure Activities & Experiences List. About The Alpine Mieders Coaster The Alpine Mieders Coaster or the Serlesblitz, as it is also known locally, is…
