Here’s the 1,000+ bucket list that I, Jon Pedersen, put up online many years ago to stay accountable in achieving my goals and objectives – and to inspire others. Since then, thousands of other people have reported they have been inspired to create their own bucket list.

I hope this list may inspire you to make your own list of the things you want to see, do and achieve in life.

There’s so much beauty and amazing things out there in the world just waiting to be explored and experienced, and it’s impossible to know about it all. So often we do not really know what we want until we read or hear more about it — and so hopefully this list can help with that.

PS! The blog was somewhat discontinued many years ago because I simply prefer “doing” as opposed to “writing about doing” and I didn’t really fancy the “hey look at me” that I felt it turned into instead of being an avenue for others to take action in their own lives. Those are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but overall it just didn’t feel right to me. Anyways, the bucket list itself is being maintained, and I got quite a few items left – and the clock is ticking! But instead, I’ve created a YouTube channel with my girlfriend Polly where we, among others, are pursuing lots of bucket list-related activities and challenges – as we figured it would be the perfect way to go about creating everlasting keepsakes together while trying to live our lives to the fullest, and we have also created a working document for goals we’ll pursue in Australia, where we currently live.

ACTIVITIES & ADVENTURES BUCKET LIST

Everyone ought to seek out new activities and adventures, seek to conquer fears, try new stuff, explore what life has to offer, and chase our dreams — whether that be driving a sports car in 200 km/h, riding a mechanical bull, riding bobsleigh, holding a big speech or whatever that makes sense to you.

EVENTS BUCKET LIST

Events are often some of the very most memorable experiences that we experience throughout our life. They are something that we keep treasuring and reminiscing about time and time again as we grow older. Now, what “events” entails may vary from person to person — whether that be hosting a major cook-off in your neighbourhood, attending the summer Olympics or whatever makes sense to you. However, I would recommend you include some major festivals. It is a rarity when citizens from all around the world gather for no reason whatsoever besides to celebrate life and have fun. PS! Some of these goals are definitely a stretch as it can be hard to be at the right place at the right time. I’ve therefore made priority list of it in paper form that I keep near my desk, so I gradually act upon those that are of the most importance to me.
