Bucket List Objective–Europe

It is true I have started a “Bucket List” but I do not plan for a terminal diagnosis. And I am not going to wait until I am “older”. I plan to go to Europe in less than 1.5 years, perhaps in as little as 9 months.

Now, to achieve the goal I must think how I am going to earn my monies. I have been living below a certain level–some call it being a “starving artist”–I like to call it frugal.

I figure the best way to raise my standard of living and put back money for this trip is to come up with fundraising that is specifically for this goal.

If you have creative ideas–please comment below.

My shortened Bucket List:

  • Publish a chapbook of poetry
  • Publish a book of non-fiction
