Things I want to do before I die

 

This is inspired by Mighty Girl's Mighty Life list. 

This list is a work in progress.   

Some of these are things that I want to do, because they'd be fun or interesting or indulgent.  

Others are things that I think everyone should experience.  Some of them I have yet to do.  Some of them I have done, and I believe that they helped shaped me into a rounded person.
