    What are some of your lifetime goals? I've recently started putting together some things I want to do before I die, and I was curious what other people hope to see/experience/accomplish.

    Peace :)

    To one day adopt and raise a child...probably distant future
    To travel around the majority of the world
    To become fluent in more languages
    To make a great difference to a large number of people...possibly by setting up an orphanage somewhere where its most needed when im older
    To get a little bit of land somewhere for me and my fiancé to finally settle on after many years travelling/getting qualifications/learning, so we can grow ALL our own food, and share it with goats and piggies and all kinds of creatures (including rescue bunny rabbits)
    To teach
    Uhm...
    And learn as much as possible

    To find enduring happiness in whatever form it happens to assume... to fill whatever roles await me- father, husband, or whatever... with a passion that brings out the best in me and those around me.

    I apologize for the vagueness...

    I'd like to...

    1. Build my own house with my own hands one day, not just pay somebody to build it for me.
    2. Have and raise children with somebody I love.
    3. Walk 5000kms in one year. Probably from Thailand to India via Laos, China, Tibet, Nepal.

    the first two are real long-termers but I will probably attempt number 3 in March 2009.

    Peace,
    A.

    I can only think of a couple off the top of my head right now--

    Be a contestant on Jeopardy.
    Have my own business.

    The rest of my goals are more short-term.

    Be careful where you go whale watching. I'm not sure about in Canada, but I know in New England-you don't see a THING! I went 4 or 5 times and only saw 2 or 3 ends-of-fins.

    Good luck!
