I made my 101s and have completed some. I think its great that you’re posting this for the world to see. We can help. I mean…definitely you should come to Cambodia…and you’ll have someone to show you around town! P.S. I’ve wanted to go to japan again for the longest time. same with korea. can we say travel partner?!! Umm yes!
Oh my goodness!!! I’ve always loved this idea! When I was younger I used to make these lists all the time, but then life just seemed to get so hectic. You’ve inspired me to sit down and really think about what I want to achieve again in life. Geesh…I need to find the last list I created years ago to see if I made any progress. Thanks for sharing Diana!
P.S. Hot yoga is brutal. Every time I plan to go…I dread it the entire time, but afterward it feels so worth it!
