Summer Bucket List

Good afternoon loves!

Summer's pretty much here and I'm determined to make the most of it this year. I found this cute Summer Bucket List on pinterest, originally created by Tastebud Travels

I've already checked off the things that I've done this year (the parts I've considered to be summer anyways) and will keep it updated. My goal is to accomplish as much from this list as I can!

What are your summer plans?

It's finally beginning to warm up in this cold, cold country of mine.

Summer 2017 - Bucket List

I absolutely live for summer. It's by far my favorite season and maybe I'm biased but I also happen to be a summer baby.

To get more out of this summer I wanted to create a bucket list. I don't know what it is but it seems that when I write down the things I want to accomplish I'm more likely to do so.

On to the list;

Spend a day at the lake

Go to one of the National Parks {albeit them being insane this year due to Canada's 150th Birthday}

Hike a mountain summit

Go camping - I've already done this but I'd still love to go on many more camping trips

Hit up a theme park

Road Trips {I love nothing more than a good road trip honestly, I usually end up in B.C.}

Concerts {OneRepublic in August!}

Try white water rafting!

Go kayaking

Try getting through some of the many unread books piling up on my book shelf

Water balloon fight {I haven't done one of these since childhood but I still think it would be such a fun time as an adult}

Make a truck bed and star gaze

Go skinny dipping...at night.

Eat at as many new restaurants as possible

Go for ice cream {surprisingly easy but I never actually go out for ice cream}

There you have it, my summer bucket list!


What are you hoping to accomplish this summer?

Bucket List 2017

This isn't a resolutions post for 2017 but more of a bucket list. Thing's I'd like to do and see in 2017.

2016 for me wasn't an exciting year by any means nor did I do or accomplish anything extravagant. I want this year to be different I'm sad of watching my life pass my eyes in my day to day. I work, come home and the cycle repeats, it's fairly boring. In 2017 I'm aiming to make much more of my days off. Instead of sitting on the couch I want to go out and create adventures, explore (maybe not the world) but even the areas around my own home. So here we go...my bucket list for 2017;

Go camping more this summer 

Road trip across Canada - I've done this as I have family in Ontario but I've never took the time to stop and see the different hot spots throughout the provinces.

Find a new job - I'm content where I am but I'd like to find something where I can grow with the company and I unfortunately don't see that happening where I am

Volunteer - either at a pet shelter or a homeless shelter. (I'm not sure I could handle my emotions working at the animal shelter however)

Buy a camera - For blogging purposes, I'm not happy using my phone but at the moment it's all my finances will allow.

Go see a musical - I truly love musicals and would love to go see one this year.

Learn snowboarding - For years now I've wanted to learn how to snowboard, mostly because when I'm older if I injure myself I won't be able to recuperate as fast.

Skydive - I'll be honest guys...I don't know if this will get accomplished but I'd like to think I'd be brave enough to jump out of a plane.

So there you have it, some of my bucket list items for the year. I feel like most of these are in reach for me I just need to put the effort in.

What about you guys, is there anything you want to do in 2017?
