My Bucket List : 2017 Achievements & 2018 Goals

"What you GET by achieving your goals is not as important as what you BECOME by achieving your goals" ~ Henry David Thoreau

Maybe I'm getting too old, by it seems like 2017 has flown by so fast I didn't have time to really notice it.

In 2016, I made a decision to spend more time on my businesses rather than on my adventures...

But the best part of running your own fitness & travel business is that you DON'T HAVE TO COMPROMISE ! 

As you might know, another one of my favorite quotes is : "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" ~ Confucius 

And that's exactly how 2017 was ! I didn't work a single day !

Ski AND Surf Lake Tahoe

Recently, I read it somewhere that Lake Tahoe had been ranked the No. 1 ski destination for the 2010-2011 season. I can't comment on that since I've never been to Lake Tahoe, but can say one thing: if I ever make it there it's not going to be ( just ) skiing...

Seriously Funny : Otis the Skydiving Pug

I thought by now I'd seen all types of animal cruelty : surfing sheep, SUPing cats, parasailing donkies, sakeboarding dogs...But this should be at the top pf PETA's most "tortured animals" list:

Otis is a ten year old pug who grew up at the Lodi Parachute Centre in Acampo, Los Angeles who recently made his 64th tandem skydive strapped to owner Will DaSilva.

Will insists it isn't cruel, claiming Otis is a really happy dog and is well aware what is happening before every jump.

Otis is definitely living the dream, having a ball like a dog with its head out of the car window. Can't wait to see his first solo jump 😃

Watch Otis' story below:
