The Bucket List

There it is, the first edition of my bucket list. Some are long term, some will be done very soon, hopefully. Life is beautiful, celebrate it to its max.

Backpacking in Australia

Build a treehouse

Get in a taxi and yell 'follow that car!'

Visit all of Europe's capital cities

Run a marathon (or a half one)

Go on a safari

Be in charge of a company - preferably my own

Write a book

Go to the airport and take the first available flight - destination unknown

Spend the entire day in bed 

Climb a mountain

Make up with lost friends from the past

Organize a wedding

Kiss a complete stranger

Dance in the rain

Marry the man of my dreams

Learn another language

Organize a big sporting event

Learn how to play either tennis or golf

Build my own house

The order of the list is picked randomly.

Most of the time there are a hundred reasons not to something, but that one reason to do it should be enough. It would be very sad if one day you're regretting the things you didn't do. Because you will only learn from all the things you do.

Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.

Never settle for anything less than perfect

Must see, must do, must discover on Curacao

In a small street in Punda (Willemstad) you will find a tiny Venezuelan restaurant selling Arepas. Flatbread made of corn dough, filled with salad of your choice. Chicken is my favorite.
