And the verdict is? I have done some cool things and seen some cool stuff but the sheer quantity of things I haven’t done… tell me I need to get out more. Honestly – I don’t think I’ve ever watched a sunrise OR sunset. There are countless landmarks I’ve never seen, some not even that far away. I’ve never played in the mud, built a snow fort, broken a bone or been on a cruise. That just feels sad to me. There are other things that I’m happy for – I’ve never had food poisoning or been stung by a bee, I’m calling that a success – and to have done ALL of that traveling by age 26 would, I think, be pretty miraculous. But man I want to do SOME of it!

So what have you done? What haven’t you done?
