(Photo in the sunset ontop of Table Mountain, SA)2014 was a pretty amazing year for me, I did some things that I never thought I'd do, overcome some challenging things and learnt a lot along the way. For 2015 I've decided to set myself some targets, they're all pretty achievable but I think achieving a challenge you've set yourself has a real feel good factor.
01. See more of the UKThis may sound silly but thinking about it in the bigger picture I've only seen a fraction of the country that I live in. There's beautiful places in the UK that I want to see before exploring more of the world. We're quite lucky that the UK is small, so I won't have to take a plane from one place to the other and thanks to the motorways I think it'll be pretty simple to drive.
02. Build my blogAlthough I had my blog for most of 2014, I didn't put as much effort into it as I originally planned. So like I mentioned in a previous post, I've put an awful lot of effort into organising myself. I hope to build and expand my blog in 2015 and I'm exited to see where it takes me.
03. Fundraise for a charityI did an awful lot of fundraising in the run up to my trip to South Africa and although it was hard work, I enjoyed every second and it was more than worth it. I'd like to do some more fundraising in 2015 not only for countries overseas but also for places closer to home. Over the Christmas period I'm shocked to have discovered how many families are without simple things like food so I'd like to help local organisations to help those families get through their struggles.
04. Become more activeAlthough I do a lot of walking, I feel like I should be more active. I'm not a competitive person in the slightest so I don't really enjoy sport, but during this year I'd definitely like to take something up and become more active.
05. Go out of my comfort zoneI think this is one that everybody hopes to do at the beginning of a new year. I have a bad habit of just sticking to the same old and being afraid to take a step and say yes to something new. For me going out of my comfort zone often means doing the smallest thing. For example I get terrified of driving to new places in case I get lost, or I avoid walking through fields full of cows because I've got this huge fear that they're all going to trample me. Both examples sound ridiculous but I want to challenge myself to do things I'm scared to do and slowly overcome my silly little fears.
What's on your bucket list for 2015?
