Sounds like a good beginning to your Epic Quest. As for me, only three? haha. 1. go skydiving 2. Finish a World's Toughest Mudder without dying. 3. go on a Mediterranean Cruise. Also, I've been to Alaska. It is amazing. Highly recommend it, but only in the summer. It's too damn cold in the winter. lol 2 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment

Vella Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Jfreaksho - beat me to it! 1. Learn all the languages I'm interested in but haven't yet had time to pick up (Russian, Polish, become more than just tourist-passable in Irish and Japanese).2. Travel to ALL the countries! (OK, so I do have a main list, but honestly, travelling to as many countries as possible seems like a worthy life goal)3. I'd like to try to make a video game. Or maybe run an ARG, or both at once. Haven't decided yet. 1 Quote Previous challenges: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Link to comment

Vian Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 1. Visit Japan, Ireland, Scotland2. Own a small self-sufficient farm3. Learn a martial art - Kendo sounds fun + swords 2 Quote "When I can no more stir my soul to move, and life is but the ashes of a fire; When I can but remember that my heart once used to live and love, long and aspire - O be thou then the first, the one thou art; Be thou the calling before all answering love, and in me wake hope, fear, boundless desire." - George MacDonald Link to comment
Raze Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 It's a few hundred dollars and a couple of weekends, and totally makes the Caribbean/Hawaii/Thailand/Florida/Central America/Alaska so much better. (No, I haven't actually tried Alaska. See my post above.) Yea, it was my single regret from Okinawa. I spent three years on a tropical island and never went scuba diving. Partly because there were times where you needed to do it during the day 3 times during a week long course. My unit never allowed me the time off during the day to do it/denied leave requests or I was off during a training exercise. 1 Quote Level 1 Nord Epic Quest STR 3 | DEX 3 | STA 2 | CON 3 | WIS 3.5 | CHA 4 Original Challenge | 1ST | 2nd | joining the bebop | Return to the rangers | Spoiler "They wouldn't mind a corpse of you.
