My Bucket List! — Ray Wandering

I’m a HUGEEE believer in the bucket list. I make one every time I arrive at a new destination or a bit before I’m about to depart. These lists help me prioritize my time and energy towards discovering new places and experiences. My bucket lists usually include museums, restaurants, hikes, beaches, or events that I want to explore.So, I thought what better way to start my blog than by sharing a list of 100 things that I want to do in my lifetime!
