Dreams
I posted this on facebook:
I haven't thought about this in a long time but today is rather dull so I've started to think about what I'd like to do in my 20s. These are goals or dreams or just things I'd like to do.
1. Teach English in South Korea.
2. Learn Korean.
3. Be a Couch Surfing host.
3. Pay off student loan by 2013.
4. Travel on every continent by 30. (So I have Asia, Africa, Australia and South America left)
5. In North America, go to California, Cuba, Boston, Washington D.C., Las Vegas and Hawaii.
6. Go for a ride in a hot air balloon ($175-$200 per person if you're interested).
7. Take drawing lessons.
8. Do a long-distance cycling trip--at least long enough to leave the city and then enter another one. (Need someone to do this with).
9. Travel by hitchhiking. (Another one I don't want to do alone--sounds scary to some but people have success with it).
10. Travel by volunteering, e.g. WWOOFing, HelpX, WorkAway, etc. and gain skills.
11. Write a novel. (I swear one November I will do it).
12. Sleep under the stars. (Could be a while before I do this but one day...)
13. Teach psychology and gender studies in Ontario.
14. Learn to snowboard.
15. Participate in a protest about something I care about.
16. Go to a roller coaster park I've never been to.
17. Learn how to cook well without recipes.
18. Go to the Olympics.
19. Swim with dolphins.
20. Host dinner parties.
21. Go to Montreal and Quebec City.
22. Go on a canoe trip.
23. Go hang gliding.
I used to be able to think of way more than 20...either I'm getting stuff done or realizing I don't actually want to do some things. But if the list ever gets too small, that would be depressing because it would mean there aren't new things to do that excite me. What else would be memorable or stimulating?
There are some things I've already done but I would like to do some more/again:
1. Bake things like bread, pies and cakes.
2. Have board game nights.
3. Cycling in cities.
4. Downhill skiing.
5. Look in telescopes.
6. See amazing concerts.
7. See live comedy.
8. Swim.
9. Sauna Finnish style.
10. Camp and cook food with the camp fire.
11. Visit people and places in Ontario like Guelph, Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls.
Hopefully there are also lots of things that will come up that I didn't realize I wanted to do but they will be memorable.
