What Would You Do With 2 Months Left?

If I only had two months to live, I'd want to spend every second with the people I love. I'd probably try to check off a few bucket list dreams, but mostly, I'd just want to make memories that last for them. Curious—what would you do if you were in my shoes? #LifeThoughts #BucketList #MakeItCount #Health #BodyHealth

Flight Attendant’s Note Had Us All Crying

An Alaska Airlines flight attendant just made everyone believe in kindness again. An elderly man, on his final bucket list trip to Alaska, got a handwritten note and airline wings from a caring crew member after she learned it was his last adventure. The note meant so much, his family tucked it in his coat at his funeral. Proof that small gestures can mean the world. Seriously, who’s cutting onions? #KindnessMatters #FeelGoodStory #BucketList #Spirituality

There’s even a tunnel with its own island rest stop! Each one proves humans just don’t take ‘impossible’ for an answer. Which one would you dare to visit first? #TravelGoals #EngineeringMarvels #BucketList #Transportation

finally visiting machu picchu: was it worth the hype?

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed about seeing Machu Picchu. You know, those mysterious ruins up in the clouds? After years of saving and planning, I finally made it! But let me tell you, the journey was not exactly what I pictured. We woke up at 4 a.m., squeezed into a packed train with barely any legroom, and then hiked up endless stone steps. By the time we reached the top, I was sweaty, out of breath, and honestly, a little cranky. But when I finally saw the view—those ancient stones surrounded by misty mountains—it really did feel magical. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder: is all this effort and expense really worth it? The crowds were huge, and I felt like I spent more time dodging selfie sticks than soaking in the history. Maybe I’m just getting old, but I miss the days when travel felt more personal and less like a race for the perfect photo. Anyone else feel this way about famous places? #MachuPicchu #TravelDreams #BucketList #Travel
