To be honest, sometimes I get nosy and curious about what other people wants to achieve in their life. I love reading people’s bucket list and knowing what motivate them everyday. By browsing through other people’s dreams, I’m able to create mine as well. So here’s I’ll show you 50 of my mission in life. Some of them are in my mind for a very long time, some of them are new and inspired by other travellers, and just a tiny bit of them I’ve already completed (I’ll mark them). Well, don’t be surprised, this long list seems like a bit crazy, unrealistic, and all over the place. But these are “places I wanna see and things I wanna do before I die” kinda list. Hope I can inspire you or just simply help you to find your next holiday destination. Ready?
