My Bucket List

PREVIOUS BLOG: 11/1/15
NEXT BLOG: 1/2/15
 
Here you go, a surprise post to make up for the 6 month absence.
 
I was looking through the files on my computer the other day and found this bucket list that I made half way through 2014. I know you're probably thinking I'm too young to be writing a bucket list but I disagree. There is no reason why you shouldn't make a list of what you want to achieve and experience in your life, no matter how young you are. Anyway I narrowed down the list and here are some I thought I could experience and blog about on this site.
(Some of them have dates that I will be aiming to achieve them)
 
  • Visit 5 continents
  • Go to
New Zealand
- Canada (2016)
- Russia (2015?)
- Dubai (2017/2018)
- Croatia
- Brazil
- Australia
- Turkey
- Thailand
- Japan
  • Visit tolkien's house (2015)
  • Visit tolkien's grave (2015)
  • Visit hobbiton
  • Go on the Lotr set tour
  • See the seven wonders of the ancient world
  • Visit the Parthenon in Athens
  • Go to the island in Llangorse lake
  • Go to a festival in Rio di janero
  • Touch the equator
  • Go on a cruise
 
 
 
My aim is to complete all of these by 2025, 10 years time so I will be reposting an updated list every year in January as a sort of New Years ritual. Hope you guys are as excitied for this as I am. All my New Year positives, byeeeeee x








Oh and here's a festive doggy to mark the occasion!!!







Oh I almost forgot, I've got an extra special surprise for February so get excited for that and I'll see you then!

The Country Game

PREVIOUS BLOG: 26/6/14
NEXT BLOG: 16/1/15
 
 First I want to apologise greatly for the fact that I haven't posted since last July. I remember saying that I would post about my holiday to Scotland and Germany which I didn't do so I might write some short blog posts in the near future explaining what happened on those trips. In the meanwhile here are some teaser photos and a bit about myself.
I have travelled quite a lot in my life, even though I'm only 14. In my family we have a game to see who can go to the most countries and although technically I have been to 19 the rules of the game say that you must of spent at least one night there so Belgium, Luxembourg, San Marino, Switzerland and the Vatican City don't really count! Here is a list of the 19 countries:
Antigua and Barbuda
Austria
Belgium
Cyprus
Egypt
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
Italy
Luxembourg
Portugal
San Marino
Scotland
Spain
Switzerland
United States
Vatican City State (Holy See)
Wales


 
In future blog posts I may write a bit more on my experiences in these countries. Something to look forward too! The next blog update you should look out for is my Oxford Birthday day trip which will be posted sometime towards the end of February. Be aware that I may post before then to make up for the my last few months of blogging silence. See you soon!
