Things to do before you die...

[JSmith]

A friend and I started a list of things we wanted to do before we die. It's actually quite fun and thought provoking. Feel free to make a list of your own and share it

 

In no particular order:

 

• Go sky diving
  
• Go bungee jumping
  
• Go mountain climbing (Not Everest or anything like that... just a normal mountain)
  
• Hit 200+ MPH in a vehicle
  
• Travel Europe
  
• Go scuba diving
  
• Do a BASE jump
  
• Fly in a helicopter
  
• Take a 2 week road trip with no maps, no phones, and no computers
  
• Learn to bartend
  

 

That's all I have so far.
