#770 Create a large mixed media piece of art ✓
For bucket list goal #770 I created a large mixed media art piece of Tomb Raider in the first level loading screen, next to the Great Wall of China. I used Perler/Hama beads to create both Lara and the logo. And then I created the landscape of the Wall using watercolour crayons and black crayon to texturized the little window and the stone walkway. In the video I go through the entire process to create the art piece and explain where the inspiration came from. I hope you enjo

#828 Visit a haunted house ✓
For this bucket list goal, my girlfriend, Georgia and I went on a bit of a ghost hunt at Preston Manor, the allegedly most haunted place in Brighton. And, me being me, if I'm going to complete a bucket list goal, I'm going to attempt to complete it as hardcore as I possibly can, thus the most haunted is the only way to go. There wasn't too much activity but some very strange and creepy things did occur throughout the hour and a half that we were there. Including a male voice

#639 Find the old video games I used to play as a child ✔
I don't know if your childhood involved more board games or video games, and despite mine involving both, I have always been a big, big fan of video games. Recently I've been on the hunt for the old games of my childhood. I've been in a rather nostalgic mood and that have been several games which have bee plaguing the back of my mind that I just had to find. After scratching my head and using as best descriptions as I could into the google search bar and looked through the im

#48 Solve a Rubik's cube ✔
So, I solved it, I followed an online tutorial, but I solved it. The thing is, I didn't just solve it though. I did my best to remember each and every step in full detail. Every time I completed a step correctly, I messed up the cube and did it again, and again, and again, until that step stuck. The reason being is that I didn't just want to solve it. One of my main goals in life is to attain as much knowledge as I possibly can, to be an intellectual, to constantly give my br

#225 Eat Belgium waffles in Belgium ✔
Over the Christmas 2019 holidays, Georgia and I took a quick visit to Brussels. This was Georgia's experience/present to me for Christmas. She took me there in order to complete bucket list goal #225 Eat Belgium Waffles in Belgium . And so, yes, we did go all the way to Belgium for waffles, but my god was it worth it. I hadn't had waffles in such a long time since becoming vegan, so it wasn't just my first time eating waffles in Belgium, but it was also my first time eating w

#409 Go Sailing ✔
Day 3 in Barcelona, Spain, I got to have my very first sailing experiencing allowing me to tick bucket list goal #409 Go Sailing off of my list. This was both an exciting and nerve-racking experience. It was exciting due to its newness, and the beautiful view mixed in with the lovely sunshine. But it was nerve-racking as the weather was blisteringly windy and I swear there were several times the boat nearly tipped entirely to one side. The host of the Air BnB Experience even
