The life bucket list

Saigon 14th Nov’21

On on the occasion of watching the bucket list movie and read a newspaper on the things that people regret most when they die. So, I’m thinking on a bucket list for my life. People will wonder why we need to have a list, before answering that we need to know what is bucket list: “It is a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill, and life experiences you wish to experience before you die” . People may live their day by day without a goal or plan, so they can be easy to spend most of their time for “the little thing” just to pass a day. Or even someone, who live by goals or to-do lists, but it may probably get framed within a social context. So having a bucket list will help remind you what’s really important to you so that you can act on them – it can help bring you out of ordinary life context to really think about what’s mater to you LIFE. It’s just like planning all the highlights for YOUR life

Bellow is my bucket list. Normaly, I will put in private all the posts about myself, but maybe this post I want to share it to you and may it help inspire you. If you have any other idea for new experiences, let’s share it to me – because we all can put more things to make our life richer. Let’s start:

• Running in a Riesling wine trail at Clare Valley, Australia: A runner and a wine lover (Riesling lover 🙂 )

• Traveling to Europe to visit: After first trip to EU, I have felled in love with the EU countries and especially a rich culture and the nature there. I remembered the weather in Paris, the cappuccino that I tried and the color of the Mediterranean sea in Nice … . I wish if I have time to be back, I will spend more time to visit the countryside area in EU and enjoy the wine :). Finally, traveling is the single best activity that exposes you to new cultures, broaden your mind, move out of your comfort zone, allow me to meet people and see the wonder of the world
  • France (Bordeaux, Champagne, Alsace and re-visit Paris and Nice)
  • Greece to see the Mediterranean sea
  • Switzerland

• Traveling to US to visit: I have read a lot about US as a very big country with so many eye-opening things, I also worked for an US company. I’m a runner who dream about Boston, a coffer lover who want to see the first Starbuck store, a wine lover who want to spend days in Napa Valley. There are so many reasons to visit US
  • New York, California (Napa Valley), Boston and maybe Seattle

• Open an wine and cheese bar: Wine and Cheese are my favorite. To me, it’s not just a food of drink but a good way for people to rewind the memory and talk with friends. I got the inspiration for “Wine et fromage” bar in Dalat – The Retour. After that time, I have strong motivation to open myself a bar like that. Furthermore, I also want to do business myself, this is also an interesting idea.

• Publish an autobiography: I always want to become to a thoughtful person and want to pass some of the value to others and maybe next generation rather just keep it myself. Furthermore, to write an autobiography is not just about having good grammar and literary skills, or having a message to share with the world but to live a life with full of meaning.

• Racing an ultra distance: I’m a runner – to me, running is not a way of exercise just but a therapy to calm myself and get me out of the stress life. However, I often try half or sometime full marathon. It’s enough to me to save energy for other activities. But deep in my heart, I still want go beyond sometimes, so maybe someday I will try 50km and 70km running at least one. I WILL DO IT ONE DAY FOR SURE

• Race an full an Ironman distance: I have raced an 70.3 Ironman version sometime. So full distance is always one of my goal.
