Just a little list of things that you might want to do before you die.
What are your list of things to do before you die? I found this interesting webpage and it has been on my mind since, so I thought I would just share it with you.
Just a few of the items listed are:
-Take a Safari in Africa
-Go hot air ballooning
-Fly in a helicopter
-Experience Zero G
-Go and see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis
One item which really struck me was "Writing a Children's Book". Now this is something I would really like to do before I die ... a legacy to be left for the next generation and many more to come.
Here's the link of the website:
Just sharing because I found it interesting and thought that some of you might be interested as well.
Please share your lists too!! Reply to this Hello Scooterguy 😊
I moved this to the forum for those wanting to share travel related links.

Reply to this Hi, Scooter Guy,
Here's just a few things I'd like to do before I die:
- Visit the 7 new wonders of the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Seven_Wonders_of_the_World) + Giza, of course 😊
- Follow the Silk Road from Europe to China
- Ride an elephant
- Build a boat
- Learn to speak Icelandic
I've been on an African safari and seen the Northern Lights (not surprising, since I live in Finland). Both were wonderful, and I hope that you'll have a chance to experience them too!

Reply to this Hi,
Don't let me die...kidding...missing yet is hot air balloon...doing it next week in Serengeti....and the Northern lights....so I guess I'm pretty lucky.
Agree 100% on leaving a legacy, and a children book is a great idea...if only I could draw...smile!
Writting this from the bank of the Nile in Aswan...guess I'll have to go down one day!

Visit every country in the world at least once.
Travel overland from Europe to Malaysia.
Reply to this Have grandchildren ... now that's nice 😊 However, that's a little out of our control, isn't it? :D

- that would tick off the legacy one as well ;-)
Reply to this :-))))) mmmm
Encouter a whale shark while diving...
Go around South Europe by sailing boat
Write and publish a book
Drive throughout South America ...
and the list keeps going on... at the end, most dreams turn reality as long as you work toward acheving them so yes ... it is an ever changing wish list but doesnt really matter!! hahaha

Well, I have taken the first step by having a child of my own. When she reaches childbearing age I just have to nag her incessantly to find the right man as soon as possible. :D
I suppose, I could increase my chances of having grandchilden by making more use of my own remaining childbearing years but one child is as much as I feel able for. 😊
Reply to this Hi Mell,
Get tow little ones...nothing better...for me it's simple, to reach happiness, it's just family (kids), love, and travelling...everything else is just a mean to an end...and today....I'm lucky to say I've got all of it...hope it will last, but working for it...
For the grandchildren...I agree when I read it doesn't depend of us...but hey, at least we've got the first step...knw so many friends who are far away from it...and not really young anymore!
Smile!
Reply to this Get tow little ones...
The one I have is demanding enough to be like two or more of them. :D
But yes I agree, family, love and travelling are the corner stones of my life too. 😊
