Bounding’s Bucket List: Our Top Ten

06Apr

As part of a blog carnival for Save Elephant Foundation, celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Elephant Nature Park, we’ve put together our respective top 10 bucket list items.

Of course, if you’ve read about us, you’re aware that our goal is to visit every country in the world, but that bucket list is already in progress on our Travel Map. For this post, we’ve done our best to compile our ten most desired destinations and experiences, as of April 6, 2013, in no particular order.

Ligeia’s Bucket List

Stand on the North Pole
Travel to outer space and see the earth as a whole
Hike to Everest Base Camp on the Nepal side
Scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef
Do the 3-day kora around Mt. Kailash in Tibet
Travel to a new country with nothing but a passport, toothbrush and a camera
Visit Mecca
Skydive
See Tosca at the La Scala opera house in Milan
See penguins in Antarctica

Mindy’s Bucket List

Hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
See the Northern Lights from an outdoor hot tub
Witness the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup
Umpire softball at the Olympics
Build our own straw bale home
Take a hot-air balloon ride over Bagan, Myanmar
See a humpback whale breach
Take a photo that wins a photography contest
See the cherry blossoms in front of Mt. Fuji, Japan
Raise enough money to rescue an elephant

11. Celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary on September 16, 2056

That last one is a mutual wish. It deserves a shared space, separate from our top ten lists, because it carries considerably more weight than all other bucket list items combined.

To enjoy this carnival, we call on our fellow bloggers to list their top ten bucket list goals. Read the requirements for your post and start compiling! We nominate the following bloggers:

Have you been to any of the places or experienced some of the things on our bucket lists?

Thanks for giving us a shout out. The first thing on our bucket list is writing a post about our bucket list. Look for it to go up sometime soon. 🙂

Love your bucket photos LOL! And in the list, I think I like #11 most of all. 🙂 Here’s to more adventures for you two!

This is a cool blog carnival- an indirect but effective way to raise awareness on the Elephant Nature Park too. Thanks for tagging me. Will try to participate, as I still have many backlogs hehe.

Hi ladies, yes #11 is a nice one to look forward to. Thanks for including us. We’ll get started on our top 10 bucket. It’s actually a little bit hard to choose just ten!
