Bucket List

Before I die, these are the things that if possible, I will choose to do with my life.

1.    - Go on a “Spiritual E Journey.” The book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert inspired this idea. The main character in the book goes on a spiritual journey to 3 countries to find herself and become happy again after her straining divorce. She visits three countries that start with the letter “I”- Italy, India, and Indonesia. Not that I hope to get a divorce, but I hope to one day go with my best friend Zoe to three places that start with the letter E- Egypt, England, and El Salvador.

2.    - To see the Northern Lights.

3.     -To be a bartender. I think it would be really cool to learn how to make all different types of drinks.

4.     -Go on a hot air balloon ride over the Grand Canyon.

5.     -To go on a tour into any rainforest around the world.

6.     -Go back to London and find Ryan O’Riley, this man who gave my family and I a Harry Potter tour the summer after I graduated high school.
