A Nerd's Bucketlist

Here is a bucket list, and it will be actively updated (and hopefully also actively checked) in the future.

Below I added some updates from 04/04/2022. The newest updates were made on 01/25/2025.

• ✅ Travel to at least one country except for US and China
  • Done! I’ve made two international trips (finally!) in July and August of 2023, one to 🇨🇭, and the other to 🇹🇭.
  • I traveled to 🇯🇵 twice, 🇫🇷 once, and 🇪🇸 twice in 2024!
  • Fui a 🇲🇽 dos vecez en 2025, a Guadalajara y CDMX.
• ✅ Keep running
  • I ran a 10k race in November 2024 and placed the second in the women’s group.
  • I’ve ran an official half marathon and will run two more in 2026 hopefully.
  • I ran an unofficial marathon distance in Feb2025, which took me 4:49:03 to finish. Still very proud of myself.
  • I hope to be able to run a half marathon under 2 hours!
• ✅ Have a long distance roadtrip~~
  • I visited to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in June, 2021. Checked!
  • We drove from Califoria to Wisconsin in summer 2023. It was a nice roadtrip.

• Go skydiving at least once
  • Not yet, not a current priority
• ✅ Go hiking at a real mountain
  • Many times thanks to the great collection of trails in CA.
• ✅ Go to a live event of my favorite folk band, Acetre, although they are located in Badajoz, Spain
  • I did it finally, in December 2024. I watched Acetre’s performance in Medina del Campo, Spain. It was a concert of a lifetime!
• Watch a live sumo game
  • Not checked either
