It’s time for another birthday bucket list! I’ve been making these lists since I was 24 and every year they bring so much fun and adventure to my life. I took a year off last year because the pandemic was taking its toll and I had no inspiration or bursts of energy to try and make anything happen, especially because there was so much uncertainty still. But, this year, we’re back and bigger than ever!

My hope for this year’s bucket list is that it will guide the content creation adventure I’ve started this year. Not only will I be blogging our list to document it, but I’m also hoping to create a video for everything we check off! It’s an ambitious goal, but one I am very excited for.

So, without further ado, here are 31 things I would like to do before I turn 32!

  1. Pay off my OSAP - Done!
