MoreThe bucket list. 2015.
While I don’t intend on ‘kicking the bucket’ anytime soon, I love the idea of bucket lists— finding new things to try, places to visit and adventures to have. It doesn’t need to be filled with grand plans of faraway places, in fact I think it’s good to always include things that are close to […]
