Where Are You From? With Just One Little Click… The World!

Do we have the world covered with your vote? I’ve been thinking about the support that I’ve received in the Biggest, Baddest Bucket List contest and which countries are represented in the 23,424 votes. This is for a trip around the world and $50,000. Your support has been overwhelming and I feel even more capable of accomplishing the impossible. We all can! With only three days left to vote, every second counts… as a matter of fact… STOP. Click here and vote on Facebook with the click of one button or click here to vote on other forms of social media. It couldn’t be any easier! I’d like to know where the voters live, though. Are you from UK? Canada? USA? Do I have votes from Australia? It would be amazing to see represents from around the world. So… after you vote, or vote again, share a comment below with the name of your country. Lets see if I have 10 countries today!

If you’ve already voted, thank you! I appreciate your continued support. It will only take two seconds to vote again and you will be making all of my bucket list dreams come true! With just one little click… the world!

Making Bucket List Dreams a Reality

In the last year, I made 8 bucket list dreams come true for my readers. Skydiving, heli-skiing, piloting a helicopter, driving a NASCAR, riding in a limo, enjoying a spa day, touring wine country, and attending a ballet were all items on the bucket lists of my readers. I found ways to sponsor them or offer their dreams for free. All they needed to do was show up and live a bucket list dream day. This year I hope to do the same for at least 5 more readers. It’s one of the greatest feelings in the world to be able to help others accomplish their dreams. It’s amazing how much what you can do for others actually does for you. 

Suggestions from the People that Know Best

Many of you know that I recently entered a contest called the Biggest Baddest Bucket List. The prize is unbelievable. It’s an all-expense-paid trip around the world, $10,000 spending money during the trip, and $50,000 cash when you return home. With over 50,000 followers, I thought I’d have over 1000 votes already but it’s a slow start. I’m currently at 525 votes. So, I’m asking you, my readers who know best, what should I do to encourage more voting?

My thought: I put a challenge out there to you. How many people do you think you can convince to vote? Do you think you can get 5? 10? 25? Put your number below and let me know how it goes. Maybe you have a cool technique that you’d like to share. 

If you put a number like 25 and you accomplish it, I’d love to interview you for the blog! That is some serious social klout and it would be great to share your techniques with my readers. I’m sure thousands, including me, would love to know your secret.

My Biggest Baddest Bucket List

I can win six month, six continent, all expenses paid trip; oh and don’t forget the $50,000 when I get back! Travel and adventure encompass my life. It is as much a part of me as family and friends. I was born for this competition.

I entered My Destination’s Biggest Baddest Bucket List! You can find my entry here:  http://www.mydestination.com/users/lesley/bbb#tab

It’s a short, 1.5 minute video on my adventures in Fiji. Regardless if you vote, it’s totally worth checking out.

I can win with your help. I need people to like it on Facebook, Tweet it, Google +1 it, Stumble it, and pin it on Pinterest as much as humanly possible.

Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I want to live. The more unrealistic I am with my dreams and goals, the more I am able to achieve. I need your help. I can make this happen!

Brazil, Barbados, South Africa, Tanzania, Spain, Ireland, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Russia, India, UAE, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, China… the list goes on! I’m already planning.

Ultimate Life Bucket List

Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I
want to live!

What’s on your bucket list? You can submit your bucket list or your bucket list adventures to Bucket List Publications or info@bucketlistpublications.com for publication. Share your goals and find inspiration in the accomplishments of others.

The more unrealistic we are with our dreams and goals, the more we’re able to achieve!

My life list is ever-changing, always growing; that’s why I create a yearly list. My 2012 Bucket List included things like fly a jetpack, swim with whale sharks, experience aerobatics in a biplane, and delivery my baby girl.  With only a few items left, I’ve been thinking about my 2013 list.

Overall, these are the things I’d like to accomplish in my life. I usually choose from these each year and add new ones as I see fit.

Every Day Is a New Adventure in Atlanta, Georgia

Our recent adventure trip to Atlanta, Georgia was coupled with downtown accommodations and relaxed, southern dining. Hyatt Place Atlanta Downtown, located in central Atlanta, is within walking distance of the Georgia Aquarium and countless restaurants to match everyone’s taste buds. After a day of hot air ballooning, biplane flying, and whale shark swimming, there is nothing better than a tasty meal and a full night’s rest.

Oh Virginia, Take Me Home

We arrived in Virginia Beach last night to the most beautiful background: the ocean! Oh how I missed that salty air, that cool breeze, that sparkle off of the water…. My heart is at ease when I can hear the ocean waves crashing near by.

We’ll be staying at the Ocean Sands Resort until Saturday. Stay tuned for photos and posts.

I’m off to enjoy the waves.
