L’s 101 in 1001

This is my version of 101 things in 1001 days

You might recognise a few from M’s list below (told you we were similar!) but hopefully this means were more likely to complete them, as we can do some of them together.

I struggled to finish this list. Some things I’ve purposely kept vague, for example visiting 10 new countries or scuba diving. I haven’t been specific as to where so that I’m more likely to complete them, which I feel for me is more the reason behind it. I don’t need to be specific as completing them will have been enough in itself.

Here goes!…
