101 in 1001 Days Challenge

Our Travel Plans 2018, read where I am going and what I am doing in 2018 | thesilvernomad.co.uk

 

Having read a post on The OMG Diaries blog, where Sophie complied a list of 101 challenges that she wanted to complete in 1001 days, I have been inspired write my own 101 in 1001 Days Challenge. It is like a mini bucket list with a timeframe!

Like Sophie, I have done a mix of personal, health, travel, financial and fun, but also I have 10 slots for suggestions from any of my readers, so get your thinking caps on and join me over the next 143 weeks as I try to complete as many as possible.
