"Life is about courage and going into the unknown."
We all have a bucket list; we all have things we want to do, places we want to see and people we want to meet. I have a list of things that may seem odd, but something I just want to experience, something I want to do to feel alive, happy and fulfilled. People strive to do as much as they can in their lifetime and make sure they do it to fully enjoy and ultimately, whether you have a bucket list or not, we all have these things we want to do.
Here are 33 things I wish to do in my lifetime.
1. Visit Yosemite National Park
2. Go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans AT LEAST once.
3. See the Northern Lights.
4. Visit Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.
5. Have a genuine conversation with a celebrity – not to ask for a selfie, not to bombard them. Meet them and talk... Maybe impossible, but hey, definitely worth a spot on the list.
6. Have front row tickets to my favorite artist.
7. Travel through Europe. Hit England, Paris, Italy – all the major stops.
8. Attend a World Cup soccer match to fuel my soccer-loving heart.
9. Drive a luxury sports car. One that is worth more than I can fathom owning.
10. Dance in Rio, in the street, with someone, whatever the occasion. Just to dance my heart out, loud music playing, people laughing and talking, just enjoying life (while dancing).
11. Visit all the places Ben Stiller visited in the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."
12. Fly in a private jet and drink a glass of champagne: you know, the usual.
13. Run a 10K and not pass out.
14. Publish a book.

18. Go to the New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square, and kiss a stranger at midnight.
19. Have an apartment with a view.
20. Volunteer in a foreign country.
21. Visit New Zealand and take pictures, upon pictures.

27. Visit Alaska.
28. Buy a piece of art from a gallery.
29. Have a piece of art in a gallery.
