Adventurous Christmas Bucket List Ideas + Gifts | Monthly Newsletter


Hey there Reader,

Can you believe that November is already over?

I am hoping that it was filled with tons of adventure (and maybe some turkey!)

I am popping into your inbox with some bucket list inspiration moving forward so that you can make the most of what is left of 2024!

November Updates

November was packed with adventure!

My favorite highlight was visiting Mesa Verde National Park and seeing all of the incredible cave dwellings.

I also drove the RV on ice for the first time 😳 we made it safely, but will be avoiding that in the future!

December Bucket List Inspo

Looking to check off some adventures next month or stashing them for next year? I've got you covered!

Here are 5 quick bucket list ideas:

  1. See the Nutcracker ballet at the Hungarian Opera House.
  2. Go reindeer or dog sledding in Norway.
  3. Attend a holiday dinner at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London.
  4. Drink mulled wine at a German Christmas Market.
  5. Go ice skating at Rockefeller Center in NYC.

Favorite Photo from November

My photo of the month award goes to the Square Tower House viewpoint at Mesa Verde National Park!

This was built by Ancestral Puebloans, who lived here for over 700 years from around 550 A.D. to 1300 A.D.

Needless to say, it sucessfully blew my mind 🤯
