I wrote this goal when I was running out of ideas for 40 things to do before I turned 40.
Still, I have this list started. It's mostly focusing on places to go. It's also a little depressing as, with the cancer thing I have going, I might be dead before I turn 60.
Still, here's the goals I have on this list so far.
1. See Petra
2. Have a decent passive income
3. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro
4. Kenya with kids
5. See the aurora borealis
6. Go to New Zealand
7. Go to Rome
8. Go to Paris
9. See Tuscany
10. Go to India
I've been enamored with Petra since I saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
#2 is something I really want to accomplish before I turn 40. I own a condo on Hilton Head Island, SC we rent out. If we rented at capacity, we could make $30,000 a year, after taxes. We'll probably make about half that, but I'd like to save the money we make, and get a second condo. If we get a new condo every seven years, we can have four on the island, and make more money than my wife and I make in our real jobs.
I lived in Kenya for a few months a long time ago. I want to do this and regret not doing it at the time.
I want my kids to see Kenya too. It's possibly where human life started, (or not very far from it.) There's a ton of human history and culture that impossible to experience anywhere else. Also, there's poverty Americans can't really understand. My kids are growing up bratty and privileged and I want to do something to make them realize what they have. '
The northern lights seem like such a cool thing and I've wanted to see them since I was a kid.
New Zealand is like Australia, but not deadly. Also, it's where they filmed Lord of the Rings. It's super pretty.
Rome, Paris, and Tuscany, I became excited about because of the Assassin's Creed games and a few podcasts I listen to. Kind of silly, but they're amazing cities with tons of history that I really want to see.
India is the home of the oldest civilization on Earth. I've been told it dirty, and I know it's crowded, but I grew up in a mall in New Jersey so how bad could it be? Also, I'm part Roma so I want to see where those, (us?) people started out.
