Wonder Quests

What Are Wonder Quests?

Life is going to be really boring if all we do is work for a paycheck and wait to die for the next 40+ years. Enter, Wonder Quests. Wonder Quests are a mashup of a bucket list and experiments to try to make life healthier, more fun or more interesting. At times, these experiments will be what leads me to crossing off something off this list... like, side hustling to pay for a trip to Japan. Life is interesting, why not make a game of it?

Current Wonder Quest:

WHOLE 30. June 11-July 11th, 2018.

Why? Because I'm tired of being tired. I have NEVER said no to a doughnut. I don't know if I can go 30 days without cheese. What will Sunday be without my evening ritual of a good glass of wine to cap off the weekend?

Plus, I got really sick. I'm trying to get better.

Future Wonder Quests:

SWIM WITH MANATEES IN THE OCEAN

Manatees are amazing. Boop.

FIND MY CANADIAN RELATIVES

Reconnect with relatives that might be in Quebec?

MARCH IN A PARADE IN NEW ORLEANS

Collect all the beads, drink nothing but Grasshoppers and Sazeracs.

Travel:

EAT MICKEY RAMEN AT TOKYO DISNEY

The egg has a Mickey in it. ‘Nuff said. Omnomnomnom

LEAVE A COIN AND MEDITATE AT THE TEMPLES OF KYOTO

Churches, shrines and temples are some of my favorite places to visit. Though I’m not religious, visiting a temple is a mindful moment when playing tourist.

WITNESS THE GLOW OF AURORA BOREALIS

Witness the Northern Lights and, of course, spend way too much time trying to capture it on camera.

CRUISE UP TO ALASKA

Get my sea legs and head up to the great northern expanse. Maybe see a moose. Or two.

STAY IN A WATER BUNGALOW

Bora Bora? Elsewhere? I just want crystal blue waters and an unforgettable night over them.

DRIVE THE ENTIRE ROUTE 66

Drive whatever remains of the old Route, and take the Grand Canyon detour.

Feel Goods:

DONATE A KIDNEY

Could I be a living donor? Let’s find out!

DONATE BONE MARROW

I’ve already signed up at BeTheMatch.org, now I wait for my match.

Being vegan in Texas, what would that be like?
