I started Bucket List Journey after reaching a point where I was tired of letting fear and anxiety make decisions for me. I made two promises: never let fear decide my future and take at least one step toward my goals every day. What began as a personal bucket list became a mission to help others stop dreaming and start living their lists. Today, Bucket List Journey exists to give people the tools and inspiration to live their bucket-list dreams.

For many years I struggled with severe anxiety and fear. I missed opportunities because I was afraid to step outside my comfort zone. Travel became one of the ways I challenged those fears. My anxiety hasn't disappeared, but I've learned to do things scared and keep moving forward anyway.

That's one of the hardest questions because every experience teaches me something different. Some of the most memorable include swimming with thousands of jellyfish in Palau, going on safari in Africa, hiking an active volcano in Guatemala, kayaking with beluga whales in Manitoba, and feeding swimming pigs in the Bahamas. My favorite experiences are usually the ones that push me beyond my comfort zone.

A bucket list is simply a collection of goals, dreams, and experiences you want to achieve in your lifetime. It doesn't have to be all about travel. Your list can include personal goals, relationships, skills you want to learn, adventures, food experiences, or anything that excites and inspires you.

Start by writing down the experiences, goals, and dreams you've always wanted to pursue. Don't worry about whether they're big or small. The key is to stop keeping them in your head and put them on paper. Then take one small action toward a goal every day. A bucket list isn't just about making a list, it's about creating a plan to live it.

I want readers to realize that a bucket list is more than a collection of dreams. It's an invitation to live more fully. Whether that's traveling somewhere new, learning a skill, facing a fear, or trying something you've always wanted to do, my goal is to provide inspiration, practical tools, and encouragement so people can turn dreaming into doing.
