I have always thought it is very important to have big dreams, big goals, and always be looking to some new adventure. Hence, the Bucket List. I wrote mine out a few years ago and it is always growing, especially with places to see around this great world. Not all items are about travel, and not all items are huge adventures. Some are simply things I think are cool and awesome stories after the fact. Because I love telling an awesome story. So I would love to share mine with you! Each experience has a story, some can be found in this here blog even!

I stumbled across your blogs today as I am researching the WCT, your badass and inspirational. You remind me of my friends! I love reading your blogs they are humorous and informative, looks like I need to actually write my bucket list down! P.s I love your royal roads picture I am 4 classes away from getting my masters from there.
With enough research and training do you think a girlfriend and I would be able to do it without a guide? Looks like you planned on doing it yourself which turned out you met some awesome people. From my online queries tour companies want $1800 (holy crap)
