These are the 100 things I want to do before I die...

Hi my name is Ali. I'm 26, originally from Kiama, Australia (although I have lived both in the UK and the USA) and these are the 100 things I want to do before I die...

Some I have already achieved, some I hope to achieve in the not-too-distant-future and some are on my list even though I know they will take considerable planning, courage and dedication!!!

As I complete the tasks, I will cross them off the list.


I'm 26, so theoretically and historically I guess I have around 50 years to get going.

Here goes nothing!!!
