I am in the habit of writing a list of things that I have to do in the course of a week or say the most a month!! But this is simply fantastic – making a list of all the things that you want to do in your entire lifetime is truly awesome!! I am inspired by this idea and plan to write my own to-do lists at the earliest!! What fun it is going to be when we score off each of the ones that we have achieved!!
If I go over your list of 50 things you’d like to accomplish in your travel lifetime, I just hope you have enough time
) Definitely very interesting and challenging things, I would certainly like to do a few myself.
Rad list mate. How did your Spanish come along after a year in BA? I touch down there in four days, hope I can be speaking it at a pretty decent level after six months, time will tell though!
