This is not the first time that I listed down my own bucket list, maybe this is the fourth already. A few years back, I was reading a friend’s blog and came over to his “50 Things I Want To Do Before I Die” post. I was inspired to make my own list and shared it with my then blog. Priorities have changed, and so I have updated the list.

These are the 50 Things I Want To Do Before I Die (as of 19 October 2015) list, in no particular order:
