Bucket List Blues..

It amuses me to write these 'Blogs' knowing probably no one reads them - well not probably they don't.. Only Danii.. Hahahaha but I am ok with that - maybe one day someone will, and maybe that day and that someone might be the right person I would have inspired, encouraged to help them reach their goal - find a way to become themselves - a self they love and accept and if so I've done what I set out to..

Share - Encourage - Inspire..

Whoever you are ( Besides Danii) I hope you enjoy and take from this what you were looking for..

I didn't have to think and decide if I was moving away from Australia and what I was going to do, I always knew it was going to happen the only Q when.. I decided I announced I haven't looked back.. In preperation for this huge step I am taking in life I began following travel Bloggers - Nomads that I found interesting - who thought and felt the same as I do and who have already travelled the places I want to go - any and all tips welcome..

Travelling on a budget
Backpacking Must do's and don'ts

I want to go everywhere and see everything - and I will.. Turning 30 this year doesn't mean it's the end - it's my begging and I am so excited... 

But the point for this particular blog - Bucket Lists.. Goal charts...


You might write a Bucket list at 15, by the time you turn 20 those dreams will change some you may have achieved others were and are simply a dream.. From 20 - 25 they will change again and so on and so forth..

I never really had a bucket list there were things I knew I would love to do, but my reality of them happening I didn't have such high hopes..

As a teenager I didn't grow up creating bucket - dream lists - spending hours on writing plan for plan goal charts - Or start a pretty beautiful book that one day would be my guide to the perfect wedding.. I am a simple person who dreams silently and lives in the exact moment that is now...


My dream jobs when I was younger were to be - Nail technician - Working in beauty ect - Done and check - it didn't end up being what I wanted it to be but I can tick it off as having done it - TICK..

Working in a pub/bar - Can tick that one off - loved the job - loved my customers - unfortunately it was a bad work environment.. Done it - TICK

Work in a clothing store - again wasn't what I thought/hoped but done it - TICK

Last and not least - cafe - barista - done it - still current position so - TICK

So obviously I haven't aspired to be a doctor - lawyer - accountant - nurse - or any of those other 'important' career roles - but do you know what - I stayed within the lines of my reality - my world.. I am a people person - I am active within my work space - I love to serve people - I am an easy going laid back human - an office job would bore the absolute fuck out of me - but in all my work life history I am proud with what I have done - we've all made mistakes so I can't sit back and hate on myself for what I have done wrong or stress over what I could have done differently- but rather turn any negative into a positive - if I had a bucket list for career dreams  - I can tick ALL of mine off.. Weather they worked out or not, they are an experience, a lesson, part of my journey and I can sit back and say - Been there and done that.. I feel proud about this.. I gave it a go.. And being a people person I am well at customer based roles - interacting with customers - working in a team or by myself I am happy with where I am career wise and I have no lack of confidence for my future when it comes to work - I have the experience and I can talk the talk..

I can also tick off music festivals - I have seen many bands that I love and my most recent - 'Bucket List' concert dream was the Rolling Stones.. The fucking Rolling Stones people - To me this is/was HUGE.. A dream come true!!!!That's a group from back in my parents day and I have loved them from a young age - seeing them live in concert was only ever a dream - until I saw them magically last year in October - Best experience of my life...  Rock 'n' Roll at it's finest.. I will never forget that night- experience for the rest of my life and when I think back on it I will smile wildly like I am now..

AMAZING!! WOOOOOOOO!! 

Travelling also was only a dream but last year I got on that plane and I am about to have the best experience yet.. So don't worry too much if you make a Bucket List and don't achieve them - even if you start a new one 5 years later - you still have time - you always have time.. And your dreams might change... I've not done some of the things I thought I would have by now - but I have achieved some of the things I once thought - Impossible - so take from this - anything can and will happen..

Moving overseas who would have thought I'd be doing that... We are not here to live our lives pleasing others doing what 'Society" expect of us, I know people - society - may struggle with the knowing that I a single 30 year old woman have no desire to be in a relationship or to have children, settle down and buy a house - I know they may not understand why I am easily packing up my life into a bag and travelling the world with Danii or alone, and I know that they can not understand how I am HAPPY about all of that.. An office job 9-5 - a husband - children and the family home the thought alone bore's the shit out of me so why would I settle down and do that because it is what society expects of me - I wont.. But hey things change and I might want all of that one day - but today I am not worried - Today I am happy and excited for tomorrow..

So Save your money, buy that ticket and just Go Go Go!! Create a dream and make it reality!!!

If your fearless enough you might just be reckless enough to acheive the impossible..

Love K
