So, drawing inspiration from my very dear and very special friend Shaha and her life list, I have finally managed to write down my bucket list. I’m pretty sure there will be more that I will add to this list down the line, and more that I will cross out in the years to come.
I always had an idea of what my bucket list would be like, and I always kept it in my head. It’s great that I have boiled down most of it onto the most important and special ones and wrote on this list. It took a while to do, mind you. But I have tried to keep it as realistic, yet exciting as possible.
So, here it goes in no particular order, but categorically! I’ve tried to put as much pictures I have of the stuff I have managed to do. If you have any (good) pictures of me while doing it, do send it to me and I shall upload it! Thanks!

The Maldivian Idealist 
Hi Shaam, It is commendable to have achievable goals, at any age. As confidence is built up one step at a time. I read John Goddard’s list in Readers’ Digest years ago under ” The Man Who Wanted to Do it All” or close to that. What a determined and resourceful man he is! And that was long before Bucket List became a household name! Cheers!
You’re absolutely right. I think for me, it’s more about making my life as fulfilling as possible. And it’s so heartwarmingly exciting to strike out something from the list.
I would strongly advise you to make one as well! Would love to see it 🙂
