Your bucket list

Mine changes often, but I'd say my current top 5 are:
* See the Northern Lights.
* Become a fully qualified teacher.
* Do a US roadtrip in something with a proper engine (Vette, Mustang or something like!)
* Travel for a while in South America.
* Marry my lovely girlfriend.

I've managed to tick off a few good ones in recent years:
* Drive a Ferrari
* Lap the Nurburgring in my own car
* Lap a race circuit with a professional race driver - amazing fun!
* Do a long-term volunteering project in Africa (2 months building a kindergarten in Tanzania!)
* Live abroad (done Australia and Korea for 3 years in total)
* I've also visited a few places on my bucket list - Great Wall, Hong Kong, Paris, Nou Camp, Sydney, Ayers Rock, Barrier Reef, New Zealand, African Safari, Angkor Temples, Burma, Mount St Helens...

Daryl....Don't fly....drive. I spent 92 days in 1992 doing it and I can HIGHLY recommend it (it's why I later lived there for a while).

And Harrison? Put me down for a copy! ;)

If driving through Florida, you'll now need an international driving permit available in this country from AA, RAC or a few Post Offices. If caught without one, expect to find yourself in a free hotel room with bars on the windows or a very hefty fine.
 
Take your word for it. Florida has never been on any list of mine, and I've never been there :LOL:

I did, however get an international permit before leaving the UK as a "just in case" measure. It was free and easy.

You can make a bucket list whenever you want. I don't think there are any legal specifications :0)

It's just a list of things you'd like to do at some point in your life. I'd like to;

Visit the East Coast of Australia again. I have family in Brisbane/Sidney and went in 2001 but wasn't into photography then so feel like I missed out.

As above but the west coast of USA

Visit Iceland to photograph the Northern Lights

Go on safari in Africa

Drive through Italy

Visit Venice

Try skydiving

I guess there's nothing out of the ordinary but I'll try to tick off most of them one day :0)
