BUCKET LIST : 100 THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE

#SMED11

I must confess that my bucket list does not have nearly as much as 100 items required as per the title of the blog. There are however a few items that I have mentioned and shared with family and friends, i.e I have penciled in 2014 as the bucket list date to conduct - together with my two sisters - a ‘Sound of Music Tour’ in Austria. Currently this is the most ambitious item on the bucket list.

Other items, whilst not as ambitious as the afore-mentioned, are cherished and nurtured and I am looking forward to completing and ticking them off line item by line item. Herewith some of the bucket list items :

• Undertake a Sound of Music Tour in Austria
• Travel through Europe by Rail
• Visit the Interlaken, Switzerland, Railway Museum
• Visit cousin in Germany
• Visit sister in New Zealand
• Resume dance classes (which I stopped with more than 20 years ago.)
• Complete BTech Degree
• Complete MTech Degree
• Start Art Classes
• Do voluntary work for charity organization, i.e Santa Shoebox
• Buy and live in a double story wooden house in area surrounded by forest (Garden Route) with sounds of nearby river and birds providing musical backdrop
• Seriously consider various request by family and friends to write a book about my educational/career journey – with emphasis on ‘How I met Themba Edutrain’

Although the above provides insight into the list of things I wish to accomplish before I am laid down to rest, most importantly, top of my bucket list is good health, financial stability and the opportunity to systematically work through and successfully realise as many items as possible on the afore-mentioned bucket list.
