Inspiring those living through cancer to survive and live an amazing life

The List

Ok,  so the truth is I don’t actually have 101 Things on my list – yet. A friend of mine suggested the name for the website and we thought it sounded quite snazzy so it stuck.

There are so many things I want to do and so many places I want to see. Some of these things i’ll be able to do on this trip whilst others may take me beyond this two year expedition around the world. Another truth is that I don’t really know enough about the world to know all the things that are out there. That’s where you guys come in! If you have any suggestions on places I should go or things I should do please let me know via either Twitter or Facebook. I’ll be adding to my list as I travel so fear not. There will no doubt be over 101 Things on my list by the time i’ve fisnished.
This initial list of 45 things are the things that immediately popped into my head when I thought about things i’ve always wanted to do in life. I don’t think i’ve ever written a list as quick as i wrote this one.

The Route

I’m starting my trip in Costa Rica on the 17th June 2013 where I’ll be doing volunteer work for Raleigh International for three months. From there I plan on popping up to Guatamala before heading south via Colombia and down through the west side of Souh America before heading back up to Panama via the east coast of South America. From there i’ll either sail to New Zealand or Hawaii depending on if I can get on a sailing crew or not. Then Oz and up through Indonisia  to South East Asisa. I think i’ll have a wee bit more of a think once I get there. This is also dependent on finances but i plan on travelling with as little air travel as possible and staying in the cheapest places so all should be good.

I plan on adding to my list as I travel as no doubt i’m going to meet people who suggest different things to do and places to visit. If I think it’s good i’ll add it the list!

Everyone needs something to look forward to and these are the things i’ve been looking forward to doing ever since I was told I had cancer! Dear fellow survivors and future survivors here is my list of things to look forward to  when life isn’t quite panning out how you had hoped. Hope you enjoy!
