my very first hike – Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles
UPDATE! I created a Life List Pinterest board!
Inspired by a post from my good friend Jenny Ingram, I have FINALLY started a life “to-do” list. I have been wanting to put these life goals together for a very long time, but kept putting it off. And putting it off.
Truth is, I have experienced so many wonderful things in my adult life that I never thought I would. From creating a business from nothing to seeing the country, my life has been a very, very blessed one. I do feel, however, that I am not quite done.
This list is just a start. I know that I will be adding more goals as time goes by, but for now, here are a few experiences I hope to enjoy before I leave this Earth. Some silly, some important, but all awesome. Here we go…
Amy’s Life “To-Do” List
Travel & Adventure
- visit all US states (25 to go!)
- visit at least 5 European countries (would love to see Italy, England, France, Germany and Greece)
- visit New Zealand and do the Lord of the Rings tour
- take an Alaskan cruise
- zip line (I can’t believe I haven’t done this)
- ride in a hot air balloon
- see a whale in its natural habitat
- UPDATE! eat at an In-N-Out Burger (weird, I know, but I need to do it)
Giving
- help build a home or community center
- visit and donate services in another country
- pay off a debt to someone in need
Finances
- become debt free but the house
- become debt free INCLUDING the house
Career
- write a book
- become a full-time travel blogger (once kids are older)
Life
- renew wedding vows
- take a honeymoon (we sorta skipped this part!)

Great list! And I think our travel aspirations are quite similar! I’d love to drive across Canada – East and West of where I live. North too!

Not officially, but I really should!
I think we should observe a whale in its natural habitat TOGETHER. Maybe we could find owl-shaped goggles to wear…
P.S. I love your list!!! And you!

It would be amazing if we could do that! Maybe take an Alaskan cruise together to see the whales? You see, I could knock out two…
I love YOU!

I love this Amy.
I don’t have a life list. I have a year long list of things I want to accomplish throughout the year. It’s not going very well, although I am halfway through it

Great list Amy! I have done a bunch of those but I want to do Alaska, Sky Dive, see Antartica (before it melts) and have my own show. Dream big baby!

Your own show, awesome! You’d be great.

You had me cracking up at The Lord of the Rings tour. My husband actually went to the UK in March to visit Citadel Games, aka the maker of Warhammer 40K….

Hey, I’m a nerd, I’ll be the first to admit it.

Great list of things to work towards. I am currently adding to my own list, fingers crossed I manage to tick everything off! Thanks, Kim
