Bucket List Template and Inspiration!

I love a bucket list!

Why? You ask. Well… let me share with you the beauty of the bucket list.

Bucket lists come in all shapes and sizes. Mine personally focuses mostly on travel, food, and family. But yours might be centered around learning, adventure, and an adrenaline rush. And…that’s perfectly fine, because a bucket list can be personalized! You can create your own, do one as a couple, or even as a family!

And there’s no one other than yourself to hold you accountable. There is no grade. There is no timeframe. Only hopes and dreams. Some of your lists may be totally 100% realistic while others can be far fetched and seem impossible. It’s entirely up to you!

A bucket list allows you to create a visual reminder to try new things. And I don’t know about you, but I get this amazing sense of pride and accomplishment  each and every time I check one of those items off my bucket list.

And that my friends, is the beauty of the bucket list!

  1. This is a great list. Many of the items are very achievable and something for the whole family to do together. Thanks for putting together a template to download.

    1. I love getting my kids together to create a list for our family! It’s fun seeing what they one up with!

  2. I loved reading through your list thinking “Yay, I’ve done that!” followed by “Dang, I want to do that, too!” I enjoy that there are bigger things mixed in with smaller things (decorating a cake) that I haven’t done either! Love it!

  4. These ideas are so good – and varied! Although I have never written down a bucket list, my general bucket list ideas are generally travel and food related (which I focus on in my blog too). Theres some ideas on this list I may adopt though 😉

    1. Thanks!! It’s all about trying new things for me! Though personally I could make a list of 75 destinations I want to visit! Lol

  5. Thanks! I could personally make a list of just travel destinations, but I have a lot of other things I want to try too! What’s number one on your travel list?

  6. You have put together an awesome bucket list. How many of these things have you already done? To see the seven wonders of the world is definitely high on my list of must do things!

  7. So fun. I made a bucket list when I was in my teens. I wonder if I still have it in my memory box. I’d love to dig it out and check some stuff off and add more to it. Very inspiring list. And thanks so much for the free download. Love it❤️

  8. I love this idea! I only had one item on my bucket list and completed it 8 years ago…participate in a flash mob. I think it is time I started a new bucket list, and added a few more items! Thanks for the inspiration.

  11. I’m both inspired and overwhelmed by the idea of updating my bucket list. As I’ve gotten older I’ve definitely kept my awareness about what I’d like to do or accomplish, but putting it to paper… Well, they say a to-do list is the best way to tackle life, I could try it. 🙂

  13. Love this Julie! We are definitely going to create bucket lists in this family so we can start marking them off!
