A bucket list. Some people write it all out. I don’t. Sometimes I write things down but most of the things on my bucket list, I know by heart. Having a bucket list is very fun because you can add anything you like and every once in a while plan to actually do something of your bucket list. I mostly add new things to my bucket list whenever I see what other people have on their bucket list. So here are a couple of items that are on my bucket list at the moment (to hopefully inspire you a little bit)!
Bucket lise /ˈbʌk.it ˌlist/: A number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime.
⌇ Living somewhere abroad ⌇
Ever since I first visited New York, I just fell in love with the city. When I was there with my mom, I could actually see myself living there. It’s crazy that this thought popped into my mind, but who knows. This is something I am willing to try. To explore a new city. To learn more about myself. So that’s why this is definitely on my bucket list.
⌇ Volunteering ⌇
On television they give more attention to elderly that are lonely. I find it so sad that some elderly people don’t have any family that visit them or spend time with them. So when I am a little older, and have more time on my hands, I definitely want to volunteer in an elderly home, talk to them, take them out or do any other volunteer activities they offer.
⌇ Learn how to program ⌇
In high school I actually took an extra class called “Informatica”, where we learned some basics about programming. So I know something about how to read HTML code, but I want to learn more. I actually want to build a website from the ground up. I am planning on teaching myself and maybe taking a course, so if you have any tips for me, please let me know!
⌇ Learn Spanish ⌇
If there’s one language in the world I really want to learn how to speak, it has to be Spanish. Besides programming, I also took Spanish as an extra class for two years in high school. In the end I didn’t finish Spanish because I kept confusing Spanish with French, so that made it very difficult. But I do still know some Spanish words and whenever I hear a Spanish song, I just want to know what they are saying. Lucky for me, I can always ask Elba and I believe she will definitely help me if I ever really want to learn Spanish. Maybe I will use an app to get started or start watching more Spanish series…
⌇ Go zip lining ⌇
Very basic, but yes! I want to go zip lining. Preferably in a jungle environment. I think it will be so cool to “fly” through the trees and have the most amazing view. I can already picture it in my mind. Now I just have to find a place where I am able to do this…
⌇ Take a photography class ⌇
I have always been into photography and I am always wanting to try new things and learn more about photography. One of the ways to do that, is by taking a photography class. So that’s what I really want to do. Not to only photograph better with my camera, but also with my phone. Casey Neistat started posting side by side photos taken on different phones. I don’t know if he still does that, but a different phone made such a huge difference. Don’t get me wrong, I am for sure an Apple girl, but when I saw a commercial of the P30 Lite, I was very intrigued. The camera of the P30 Lite is insane and this makes me want to try this phone (yes, for the camera). It’s so much easier to just grab my phone and take a photo on there, instead of always bringing my camera. The techniques I will learn in a photography class, I will be able to also apply whenever I am using my phone. And maybe, in the future, I will actually try the P30 Lite and take even prettier photos. Who knows…
⌇ Travel, travel and travel even more ⌇
Of couuuuurse, traveling. I had to include this, because I love to travel, explore and wander around new places. I have already traveled to so many beautiful places, which I’ve mostly shared on here as well. But there are a lot of places still on my bucket list. Marrakech, Lisbon, San Francisco, Rome and many more. I can’t wait to explore more!
So, these are some items I wanted to share that are on my bucket list at the moment! I keep adding more things that would be cool to do once in my life or places I would love to visit. I would love to know… Do you have a bucket list? What’s on it right now?
Love,
Neeltje
I want to live abroad too! The closest experience I’ve had to that was a three month exchange in Shanghai. Not enough!

I love all your photos and I think it’s great having a bucket list! I always wanted to learn Spanish too after being taught it for a few years at school -although I just can’t get to grips with it!
