The Ultimate Bucket List: A Guide To Excitement [169+ Ideas]

Rishabh Malik

A bucket list is something that we should all have imprinted on our brains. These lists are not only a great account of your deepest of aspirations, but they also reflect who your are as a person. With your changing ideals and beliefs, your list should be constantly modified, updated and expanded upon.

The following list (soon to appear before you) is MY bucket list. Use this list as an idea source to make yours.

I don’t how many items of it I’ll be able to put a tick mark on. But honestly, who cares! This list still acts as a great lighthouse for my ship of life. It keeps me directed towards my goals and makes me work harder. Also, this list is a gentle reminder of how many truly great experiences are out there in our world! So stop worrying, start acting.

Besides, you can’t suck the marrow out of life without a bucket list.

So without further ado, let’s hit it.
