My Big Fat Bucket List

Pecan Street Brewing-Johnson City,TX

Howdy from the Land of Perpetual Wanderlust & Desire for Adventure!

In 2015 I met my goal of seeing every US state (plus DC). In 2016 it was time to expand my horizons.

Now it's time to see the rest of the world, seek some new adventures, feed His sheep, tend His lambs, and drink a few beers along the way! If you like to travel the great USA I invite you to read about some of my American adventures at Cancan Can Travel.

This blog will be for the adventures beyond the USA borders as I work through my ultimate Bucket List with a higher purpose before I leave this beautiful blue dot I call Earth.

Click of the date to go my blog page as I tick through my Big Fat Bucket List. If I haven't made it yet, I've found some neat links to websites while I dream of going there or doing something adventuresome. I started at the top my Bucket list...Incredible Iceland!
