NYC/NJ - The Bucket List 4.50 4.5052
Founded
June 19, 2009

After watching the Bucket List and the Yes Man I got motivated to create this group. I am not planning on leaving this Earth anytime soon, but I wanted to try many things in life before I go. I've always wanted to....but either I said no at the opportunity or was too afraid to do so. Partial bucket list: wall climbing, Judo, fencing, zip lines, kayaking, snokeling, riding on a jetski, learning to swim, wall climbing, visiting India, Tibet, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, and Burma. I've already tried skydiving, tap dancing, Shaolin martial arts, dragonboat racing, skiing, skating, archery, karaoke, fast and high rollercoaster rides, walking across an elevated wooden bridge, 5K run, bowling, pingpong, swimming, etc.... There is so much other things I like to try and so many places I've like to visit. This group is for anyone that wants to overcome his/her fears or just want to try something new for a change.

Past events included: skydiving, flying trapeze, ziplines, salsa dancing, horseback riding, tap dancing, salsa dancing, Philharmonic concert in Central Park, fencing, Aikido, laughter yoga, adventure course in Queens, archery, dragonboat racing, kayaking, dinner, Reiki, yoga, wine and cheese tasting, and Shaolin kung fu. Most of the events that I find are FREE.

Let me help you complete the bucket list together.

Want to attend?

3 Day Spiritual Life in the Monastery. This is pretty cool, I once tried a week monastic retreat here and I loved it. I had my hair sharved off and wore Buddhist prayer robes. It was an awesome experience. I don't think you have to have your hair shaven off for this 3 day experience.

You do not have to be a Buddhist to come. Read more
