Ultimate Bucket List Adventure

16/08/2026

About 20 years ago, I heard the story of John Goddard, who is known for his amazing “Life List” of accomplishments. At the age of fifteen, John Goddard listed 127 goals he wished to experience or achieve in his lifetime.

This inspired us to create a bucket list of adventures that we could tick off.

So far we have ticked off over 120 of those adventures. And the funny thing is… the more we tick off, the longer our bucket list gets! 😂

Because every adventure reminds us just how much there is still to see, experience and discover.

We’re not ticking things off because we’re trying to “finish” our bucket list.

We’re ticking things off because we want to make sure we’re actually living the life we dreamed about.

And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this:

✨ Don’t wait for retirement.
✨ Don’t wait for the perfect time.
✨ Don’t wait until everything is “sorted.”

Start ticking things off now.

Because the best time to start your bucket list is today. ❤️

What’s the ONE thing on your bucket list you’re determined to tick off? 👇🌍

Here’s what we discovered:

From the vibrant streets of Kigali to the edge of Volcanoes National Park, this one blew us away.Rwanda's capital is one of Africa's most beautiful, clean, a...

Melbourne really showed off this weekend.

Long walks through laneways filled with art, cheering with the crowd at an AFL game, watching veterans march on Anzac Day and the kind of food that makes you immediately start planning your next trip back. Took it slow, soaked up the energy, and somehow still didn’t get to everything.

There’s something about this city. It’s creative, a little unpredictable, and completely addictive.

✅ We ticked off another bucket list item that we will never forget 🐢🌊

We just got back from swimming with turtles at Lady Elliot Island….and just wow!

We feel so lucky to have this incredible place practically in our backyard here in Queensland.

Lonely Planet named Lady Elliot Island as the best place to snorkel in the entire world in 2025 and we can see why.

We didn’t get to see any Manta Rays but gives us a reason to come back.

This day was unlike anything we've ever experienced in Africa.

We dressed in traditional Maasai clothing, were welcomed by the chief's son, learned how to make fire the ancient way, and even visited the local village school — where the kids completely stole our hearts.

We finally made it to one of the most incredible places on Earth and it did not disappoint.Join us as we explore the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania...

Serengeti sunrise. When real life is even more beautiful than you can imagine.

This does not have any edits - this is just how beautiful it was.

The hot air balloon in the background really makes it.

Today is World Pangolin Day

In Namibia, we had the absolute privilege of heading out with local rangers on a late-night mission tracking this beautiful creature.

The most meaningful experiences aren’t just about what we see but what we help protect.
