Bucket List

I may only be 18, but I have made a bucket list. A list of things to do before I "kick the bucket." I don't know if you have ever seen the movie "The Bucket List," but it is great. Very sad, however, quite sweet and thought provoking.
Most everything on my list is traveling...things to see. There are however, the occasional actual act of doing something. It is already assumed that I want to travel EVERYWHERE. So my first, and foremost goal is to step foot on all seven continents! I can then be classified as a world traveler.
So without further a due, I present to you,
