But just like most people, I couldn't even imagine that the next 2 years would be absolutely unprecedented, unpredictable, and straight up frightening 😱💩
With the introductions of lockdowns, and numerous restriction on (air) travel, and social gatherings/group activities, most of my adventure travel plans were doomed 😥
But the first blow to my plans didn't even have anything to do with COVID...
If you ever plan to visit Washington state ( winter and/or summer are always the best times !! ), Winthrop is one of the most unique, and amazing destinations in this state !
It's a great place to visit for "tourists", but especially fun for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in one place !
Since we couldn't travel a whole lot not only internationally, but even domestically, we spent most of 2020/2021 enjoying the great outdoors of our beautiful WA state !
Unfortunately, in 2020, I had to shut down my local business "Seattle Kite, Surf, Paddle", but we continued "shredding" 🏄, and making money online through affiliate marketing on my blog "Land Paddling USA"...
We even got to try a new "board sport" - kitwing boarding !
Another outdoor activity that we started learning in 2019, and continued through 2020/2021 was fishing !
We tried fly fishing, peer/dock fishing, and then got into SUP/kayak/canoe fishing !
Another new Bucket List adventure we got to write off our Bucket List was hunting !
It was an absolutely amazing experience, and in the future, we'll be focusing more on both hunting & fishing !
Until 2020, I've never been a huge "gun nut"... I did go on a few target shooting trips with my friends back in the days, and took my kiddo clay shooting when he was 10, but never really enjoyed shooting ( at targets )...
But in 2020/2021 with the rise of violence, and the possibility social unrest ( or straight up civil war ! ), I decided to invest in a few firearms, and to have more practice for both myself and my son...
Along with hunting/fishing, target shooting/survival/self-defence will be something we'll be focusing more on in the incoming years....
B/c of limited travel, another cool adventure/business venture we started was "overlanding"/car camping !
I started an Amazon affiliate site "Best Rooftop Tents", and also made money renting out my Jeep on Outdoorsy.com, while making extra $$$ participating in their affiliate program !
On the side, I was making additional CASH flipping rooftop tents on sites like Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace !
As for my (outside the state ) travel plans, the only new place I got to visit was Texas...
To be completely honest, I'm pretty pessimistic about the future...
But if you know me, you know that I'm a huge believer in creating your own life !!
And this blog, and this category ( My Bucket List ) is my proof that YOU too can live the life of your dreams... AS LONG AS YOU KNOW HOW TO SET CLEAR, REALISTIC, EMOTIONALLY CHARGED GOALS !!
This year, instead of writing about my plans for 2022, I decided to create a YouTube video ( if you have time to watch👇 )

Love adventure travel, fitness, and the great outdoors ? Looking for ways to make extra 💰💰💰 ?
Join ExtraHyperActive Network, and learn the basics of business, marketing, and branding to build a profitable online business based on YOUR passion/hobbies/interests !
Love longboarding/skateboarding or board sports in general ?
Electric longboards/skateboards have become very popular in the last few years !
They've also become very affordable and reliable !
Not only are they a lot of fun to ride, but, for many people, electric longboards have also become a mode of transportation or just a way to get around town...
That's why electric longboards are great products to promote, and make some extra money !
And one of the best ways to do that is through Amazon affiliate/influencer program !
There are a ton of electric longboards to choose from on Amazon with prices ranging between $200- $500 ( see the prices and brands here - https://amzn.to/3ztl0Fk )
Since Amazon pays only 3% affiliate commission it makes sense to promote higher priced longboards...
BUT !!
The best part of Amazon affiliate/influencer program is that when people end up on Amazon through YOUR affiliate link, and buy ANYTHING ( not just longboards you promote, but anything at all ! ), YOU still make money !
More than that !!
In my previous YouTube video I showed how YOU can get a FREE Amazon sales page, and make the SAME affiliate commission when YOU SIMPLY SHOP ON AMAZON !
Pro Tip:
If you're really serious about building a profitable online business based on your passion/interests/hobbies... the best way to do it is by creating a marketing niche, and choosing a brand to work with !
When you become a brand Ambassador/social media influencer you can make money since many brands have their own dedicated affiliate programs that pay more !
On top if that, as a brand Ambassador you will be featured on the company's social media channels, you can get all kinds of freebies, and deep discounts !
Our personal choice is Swagtron brand that offers a variety of electric toys ( longboards, bikes, scooters, and hoverboards ) for all ages !
Despite of what you might have heard before about affiliate marketing, making money nowadays is NOT as easy as it used to be...
Spamming social media with affiliate links DOESN'T WORK any more...
If you want to build your own online business based on affiliate marketing model, you'll need to learn at least the basics of business, marketing, and branding !
If you're serious about building a profitable, reliable online business that you'll love, and will be proud of, I recommend joining our ExtraHyperActive Network where dedicated a big portion of our education to affiliate marketing, and specifically to Amazon affiliate/influencer programs !
