9 Experiences on My "Anti" Bucket List

[@kathleendoor6847]

An anti bucket list is a healthy thing to embrace.

[@amylee9]

I agree on the tattoo. I’ve never, ever seen a tattoo on someone and thought “that’s beautiful” or “that’s cool”. It’s usually the thought that the tattoo removes some of their beauty. I see it as a minus not a plus.

[@scalab1]

Piercings are not beautiful either!

[@AgingOnYourTerms]

I also have an anti-bucket list, but I call it my 'Hell No!' list 😉

[@mariannedressler6784]

I like this!!

[@deloresredman4792]

hell no to the no. No naw...LOL!

[@donnahume631]

"She dies." "It's more interesting in the movies." LOLOLOLOL 🤣

[@carolbeeding4270]

❤️ I’m 71 and your anti-bucket list contains everything I wouldn’t do either. I would add holding a tarantula or a snake and I wouldn’t swim with sharks. I do have a fear of deep water so no lakes or rivers beyond the shallow end of shoreline.

[@brenyule]

Same. I’m with you on those as well! 🐍 🕷️ 🦈

[@gaildela5710]

Oh my we're alike!!! I won't do any of those either!!! 🙄😥

[@veralubov7405]

Oh, yes: WATER and the rest! No way!

[@jekku4688]

Snakes feel amazing actually. I was afraid until a friend had one and I got to handle it. Loved it. They just feel really neat, not cold or slimy at all.

[@carolbeeding4270]

@@jekku4688 that maybe but I won’t ever find out. I have a phobia about snakes.

[@carolyndixon7263]

I will be 70 in a couple months. I have ridden/driven a motorcycle, shot guns, floated the Grand Canyon and The Salmon (River of No Return) rivers, ridden a helicopter, backpacked, tent camped, skied, and more. I cannot or will not do almost all of those again. If there is a time for every season, now is my season for less strenuous, and quieter, endeavors. Cruises to Alaska, train rides across Canada, car tours from the Florida Keys up to New England for the Fall leaves. I read War & Peace, Crime & Punishment, and the Dune, Harry Potter, Outlander and the Thomas Covenant Chronicles. Don’t need another long series either. Mainly, I want to do just what I want to do now, and not what my younger self thought of doing. Age well my friends!

[@k26kv31]

Anti List: Caving/Spelunking, Scuba Diving, being on a "Reality" TV Show, Walking on Coals, Botox, Burning Man, Ballon Ride, Car Racing, Space Ride, go on anymore Carnaval Rides...maybe a Ferris Wheel, Zip Line, Storm Chase, spend a night in an Ice Castle or for that matter do an ice plunge on New Years, Hot Pepper Challanges or even a Hot Dog eating contest, are a few more that I would add to the same things that are on your list. Great topic!

[@margretkates1394]

With you all the way! I am not a risk taker at any degree, don’t see advantage in it, I’ll drive a block away just to have a traffic signal instead of crossing through traffic. I’m also an avid reader and do not read books with unhappy endings. I want to be entertained.

[@Alverant]

I tried reading the first Game of Thrones book and stopped early when they pushed a kid out of a window. I read it twice to be sure I read it right, then put the book down and gave it away at an exchange.

[@audreyandrea460]

@@Alverant You aren’t missing anything, imo. I’d rather just reread Lord of The Rings again :)

[@nancys5547]

Years ago I started calling it my life list, because a trip around the world while I was sick, helped me recover.

[@stevec3872]

I'm 72, never have had a bucket list, never will. I got my one and only tattoo when I was 58 to make my body easy to identify if the need arises.

[@moyamontgomery1468]

Well aren’t you just a bundle of joy.😂❤ knew I got that tattoo for a reason.

[@brigidspencer5123]

😂😂😂 They dental records for that! Here’s to another 72 years and hopefully the tattoo doesn’t shrink beyond recognition. ❤

[@josepinheiro6064]

Bucket lists seem like something for rich people?

[@dudswoo]

This is a very sensible anti-bucket list.

[@SusanP674]

Lots of good anti bucket list items. The only time you will see me running is if someone or something is chasing me!

[@djhoy61]

I am with you on all of these! At 63 I’m fully aware of my limitations and am ok with them. I worked for 30 years as a Registered Nurse- 18 of those years I worked in a big city hospital and took care of trauma patients. It always amazed me the ways people came up with to hurt themselves. Maybe that influenced me to be more conservative. I so enjoy your videos and content!

[@tamaraadams4606]

I never had a desire to visit Vegas until I visited my girlfriend who lives near there in Henderson. I too am an early to bed gal and you can do a lot in Vegas during the day which I did. No crowds! I ate at good restaurants, visited museums, toured casino's and shopped. The only time I was out late was to see a Donny Osmond show and I had front row seats. Oh my heart!

[@silverandsolo]

Donny!

[@PurpleMoon13264]

I’m not a gambler but still love Las Vegas as there is so much stuff to see and much of it is free. And the shows are great too. So glad I saw Celine Dion at Caesar’s Palace. And I love Cirque du Soleil, especially Mystere. And then there is the food😊

[@cheryellemley-mcroy6758]

I drove through Las Vegas over 50 years ago. And all I could think of was how many poor people could be elevated on the light bills alone.😢

[@kidavis3386]

When I was 21 I sat where my elbow was on the table at Wayne Newton’s show in Vegas. Fun! Congrats on your front row fir Donnie Osmond!

[@thatmikestout]

Riding on a motorcycle was always on my anti-bucket list, too, until I once found myself dating a motorcycle enthusiast. He wanted me to ride SO much, and I was in love, so finally I was like "Oh . . . alright." Terror. Sheer and utter terror is the only adequate description for how I felt on that 10-mile trek with me holding onto him for dear life doing everything I could possibly do to quell the primal scream fighting to get out. LOL. NEVER. AGAIN.

[@PinkandPossible]

Agree. Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane ✈

[@worldwideachievers1234]

I immediately thought about bungy jumping and then you had it as your first anti bucket list 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NanetteLoves2Budget]

Same!

[@adilsayeedofficial]

Same lol

[@hannesRSA]

I wouldn't mind doing it, nor an I afraid, but those kinds of thrills are no longer interesting to me. I'd do parasailing but don't want to do tandem, so will skip. Most of these thrills I can get in VR or on my motorcycle.

[@ryannixon4138]

Im 24 and all of these items really resonated with me. Especially the marathon one, I hate running

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I'm pleased to hear you've started this list early. There's no need to follow the crowd.

[@ryannixon4138]

@@sbaumgartner9848 definitely! I’m very happy doing my own thing :)

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Our 'Anti; Bucket list is almost the same as yours. I would add I hate being in crowds made worse by loud music in restaurants and outdoor events.

[@scalab1]

Oh, yes! My nightmare would be to be in the center of thousands of people at a hard rock concert!

[@Peggy731]

I have ridden on the back of a motorcycle. Got burned on the muffler. I still have a scar. Totally agree on the books, Vegas, tattoos, and bungee jumping. Another thing I have no desire to do is visit Russia. Not in these days & times. I’m American. I’d end up in the gulag. Come to think of it, I’m not crazy about the idea of traveling anywhere anymore. I’m 65. I have some pretty serious health issues and just feel more comfortable staying home close to my doctors.

[@audreyandrea460]

I’m very conservative with traveling, even though I’m only 44. I went across Canada as a kid and as a teen a few times with family who loved road trips and flying, and we visited Toronto and Montreal all the time, camped in Algonquin… I won’t travel any distance further than 2 hours again in Canada again, now that I’m an adult. I’ll never take a domestic flight again, not even even for funerals (the worst possible reason to travel, imo, and it should be socially acceptable for people to skip any and all funerals or weddings that aren’t taking place in the town where you reside).

[@Keep-on-ok]

I’m 75. Going on a cruise next month to the ABC islands. We have 4 more cruises booked that will take us through this year and next year. We have been on 46 cruises so far since we met in 1996. We love to travel.

[@judytaquino6412]

I got up to see the sunrise twice. Once in the Maldives and once in San Antonio TX. Sunsets are so much more beautiful.

[@annegreene3363]

Roller coasters are also on my antibucket list, closely followed by Ferris wheels. As a retired nurse we used to call motorcyclists organ donors. They were generally young with young organs.

[@alrinaleroux9229]

Easy to skid on gravel, sand or a wet and/or oily patch. Serious head injuries are common. Someone at school was in hospital for a long time with a really bad leg injury after being in a motorbike accident with her boyfriend -- I never forgot that.

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Roller-coaster, NEVER again. But I LOVE Ferris wheels!

[@adriennetjenkins]

What I love about your “Anti” Bucket List is that you stand your ground as to who you are and your video inspires others to just say “NO” which can be equally as inspiring as saying “YES”. Love love love this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@reneklein6049]

Jen, I adore you. That was the best video! I'm 65, and can honestly say that everything on your anti-bucket list, is on mine. You had my laughing so hard. No way I'd jump out of a plane and skydive nor bungee jump, which my daughter has done. No tattoos for me, though the same daughter who bungee jumped, got her 1st tattoo when she was 18 (without my knowledge), and at 39, she's covered from the arms down. I'm not climbing any mountains. I've been in Vegas just for a layover, and I hated just being in the airport for 3 hours. Slot machines everywhere. I'd much rather spend my money on a nice piece of jewelry too! I'm usually in my pajamas and in my bed by 8, and hopefully asleep by 9, since I'm up by 4. I traveled alot before my divorce, so there's no place that I'm dying to go to. I just want to stay healthy enough to watch my 2 year old grandson grow up. By the way, my daughter, the adventurous, tattooed one, is an incredible vegan chef, who was on Beat Bobby Flay, and she did. Her IG page is quite interesting, and 90% of her customers aren't vegan. Feel free to check her out. On my bucket list as well, would be to eat her meals everyday! @missrachelspantry Thank you for sharing your video. We could be wonderful friends!❤❤😊

[@nicholsonks]

I'm 45 and my list is nearly identical. I've run many marathons though they are getting more tiring for me. Going to massive festivals is also on my anti-bucket list. Thanks for another fun video!

[@roxanne533]

I agree with a lot of items on your list. For me, unfortunately, I hate crowds of pushy people. So, despite being half Egyptian with a mother who was born and raised in Cairo, I don't think I'm ever going to end up visiting Egypt. All the travel videos look chaotic and loud. I can't even handle Tijuana

[@321morlan4]

Never thought of an anti bucket list, but mine would have many of yours. At 54, I’m coming to terms with limitations and it’s tough. Used to want to skydive, bungee jump, etc. Recently I started babysitting as a side hustle, and even that is much harder than I thought. Love your videos, and the information you give!

[@Rene...startingover]

I've done 3 things on your anti list. I owned a motorcycle (when in my 20s), been to Vegas (loved it, even without the gambling. There is a lot of cool stuff to do.), and I have 3 tattoos. (F 60)

[@glendagai]

I am laughing !!!! I am a book, reading person, but I truly understand you! I have a family that is forever encouraging me to do something that (an opportunity) to do something that I just am not interested in. I am getting better at saying no.

[@susanmason3432]

I’m not a gambler either, but visited Las Vegas and saw Cirque Du Soleil “O”, the beautiful fountains and ate at the rotating restaurant “Stratosphere”. I throughly enjoyed that trip. My anti-bucket list includes “white water rafting” I like watching their videos, but I’ll stick with kayaking on calm waters. ❤❤❤

[@ByGraceAlone901]

My mother is widely traveled and not a gambler, but she said her favorite USA city was Vegas.

[@susandanielwicz400]

Love this idea. Can get a bit down knowing things on my bucket list will not happen. But, an anti bucket list can certainly change my mood. Thanks for sharing.

[@321morlan4]

That’s what I thought as well, an anti bucket list seems more reassuring than some of the things on my bucket list that I’m realizing probably won’t happen.

[@pattysmith5547]

No going to parties where I don't know people well, no scuba diving, no upside down roller coasters, no dating reality shows, no bungee jumping, no running, and (maybe no) cruises. Thought of being in the middle of the ocean scares me.

[@b.m.t.h.3961]

Oh going to a party where you know very few people is awful, I agree, it's a waste of time and energy

[@barbarahillin6599]

I agree with every single item on your anti-bucket list! And you are so right - some things you still want to do are just past the window of opportunity, meaning they would not be a smart choice. Love your videos!

[@Jen608-g4s]

Agree with all your list,Jen! 53 and no tattoos for me either. Heck, I don’t even like putting bumper stickers on my car 😂. Would only add swimming with sharks &/or scuba diving. Another great video, very refreshing. Love your style ❤

[@RandomThoughts127]

I'll be 40 next year, and I never thought about creating an official anti-bucket list. I have one, but never identified it until I saw this video, lol. I'm with your 1st 1000% and I had a good laugh at the tattoo comment. I was scared because my son wanted to give me his first "big" tattoo that he did on someone else. It's not too bad, but like you said it is permanent. Thank you for creating this video. I had a good time with it.

[@victoriahomeandaway]

So I’m definitely not going to feel guilty anymore about not finishing, Anna Karenina. I did go skydiving several years ago and LOVED it. But I love some adrenaline pumping activities. Especially a good motorcycle ride.

[@user-mc4cl3kr1r]

I couldn't deal with Tolstoy either 😂 I did go on a motorcycle once when I was 18 and the driver was a safe, experienced one. But, I had a lot less fear of an early death back then. 😄 But, it was fun. I wouldn't do today at 70, though. 😮 --Paula in Ohio USA

[@victoriahomeandaway]

@@user-mc4cl3kr1r now I’d like to have a “trike.”

[@catherinerhyno9581]

Surprisingly, this same list could have been written by me, with these additions: Swimming with sharks....no. Joining a seniors all inclusive bus tour.....nope. Descending onto a cave or cavern....never. Adding art inspired gel nails....ummmm no. Soaking in my wonderful neighbour's large swim spa.....nada. Although I can very often be found sitting pool side with a refreshing juice and enjoying the conversations! No fun here! :)

[@alrinaleroux9229]

*Anna Karenina* -- and *War and peace* -- are slow-moving (like much of life). I only read bits of them in the hope of learning something. Scanning them is one thing, actually reading them all the way through feels to me like something that belongs in a different era, a time when there were far fewer distractions and complexities.

[@veralubov7405]

You are absolutely right. It is a different era with different characters. Leo Tolstoy is one of the greatest philosophers, but it seems we are unaccustomed now to slow down and penetrate into his depth. Our reading preferences do change with time, as well.

[@dianestroud8006]

I went to Vegas because I have family there. Did zero gambling. Saw Cirque de Soleil shows (before they closed down), walked along the strip & checked out the local natural scenery. Red Rocks is great for hiking. There is also a lovely botanical garden. Those are awesome! Much better than gambling.

[@booklover6963]

I was amazed we went to the mall on the Strip and they had a man playing a baby grand piano in the food court ! As you can see I'm easily amused 🙂

[@PurpleMoon13264]

There are at least four different Cirque du Soleil shows playing in Las Vegas.

Hi Jen…new listener here. I recently read “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows. I skipped over thinking it was a fluff book. My daughter sent me a recommendation. Not fluff! Totally worth a look. I didn’t want it to end.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Recently donated the good reads to a stuffy bookstore. No regrets. Jumping again or trekking - nope. Big cities- got my fill. I'll stick to build up a camper van & see where I wind up. Contentment. 😊

[@giaannstdenis3661]

I tuned in specifically to see if, like me, sky diving is NOT on your list. You did not fail me. Climbing Mt. Everest is another that has NEVER been on the list, this even before I read "Into Thin Air."

[@Hangingoutwithdogs]

We have some similar "not ever in my lifetime" items, but I live very close to Las Vegas and have to say it's one of my favorite places to visit. I love people watching, I love touring the gorgeous resorts on the strip, they have some of the most amazing shows in the world, and of course amazing food. Plus as a single woman I feel safe there, walking around, because of the stringent security. It's basically my happy place, lol. I also wanted to suggest (if you haven't read already) the Earth's Children series by Jean Auel... Very long series that transports readers to the Ice Age, and it is incredible. Anyway, love your channel - keep these videos coming! ❤😊

[@bunnybunny3536]

I enjoy annoying people by disclosing that I will never, ever, EVER, watch the films “Titanic” and “Forrest Gump.” I will pass to the eternal void with a smile on my face never having seen either of these two films, happily. You would literally have to strap me to a chair a la clockwork orange to get me to watch either of these. For some bizarre reason, this shocks (and even irritates) the hell out of some people lol. That said, I wouldn’t mind exiting existence while I’m watching “March Of The Wooden Soldiers” while humming “don’t cry Bo Peep, we will find your sheep” la la la.

Your video reminded me of a motorcycle ride, a short one, I went on with my brother-in-law, at the time. He was a very small man and there was barely anything to hold on to. I was scared. I think we only went a mile and I was yelling at him." Take me back home!". And he did.

[@janetbrickey8845]

On my anti-bucket list: Antarctica or any place very cold. I enjoyed hearing your list.

[@Keep-on-ok]

I use to own three horses. I don’t desire to jump from high places. Don’t care for New York City. I had a boyfriend in my 20’s who owned a motorcycle. Loved it. I don’t like reading books but love to do research on health. I love to travel and my favorite area is the Mediterranean. Love hiking but not mountain climbing. I love walking daily but I think running will ruin your knees. I have been to Las Vegas several times but I don’t gamble. I have a small rose tattoo on my ankle. Just one. I did it to connect with my stepson. Thanks for the video!

[@LiliAnderson-hi6qy]

I'm not a motorcycle type either, but I have been happy for those who like it. I agree with your list, actually. Thanks for the smile!!

[@reneejones7807]

Ours are virtually identical except I live in Las Vegas, lol. If you ever find yourself here, there is so much more to it than gambling. And it's a gateway to Zion, and a myriad of other beautiful places. The older I get, the more I discover the virtues of in bed by 7:30 , lights out by 8:30.

Oh - and people who brag about reading Atlas Shrugged probably couldn't finish it either. Yaaaaaawn.

[@brendavanwie6235]

I am 59 years old and I love that you call it an anti-bucket list. I just made a list of things I called the things I never need to do. My list and your list are extremely similar. I never have the need to go on an ocean cruise, although I know you have done that. And I have been a passenger on a motorcycle two times and both times I was injured so that didn’t turn out well. One time I burnt my leg on the muffler and another time the driver was passing on the right moving very slowly, but we, ran into a car and injured my knee. Anyway, things that you did not say or on your anti bucket list that are on mine would be hot air balloon ride, scuba diving, karaoke, zip line, and parasailing. And as far as getting a tattoo,like my 30 year-old son says just get it on a T-shirt and wear it when you’re in the mood And guarantee you won’t always be in the mood so why would you get a tattoo that you could never take off? Loved this list.

[@karenmacneil3678]

Many of these things are on my anti-bucket list, too, especially anything related to free-falling. BUT, I do have one tattoo. I used to say "I don't even put bumper stickers on my car and they're not permanent" but I have one (yes, just one) representing my medical battles with cancer. My son said I'd get more now that I have one but 3 years later, I still have just one. I guess I'm the exception that proves the rule, eh? I love your channel. Keep posting.

[@juliestevens2469]

I so agree with pretty much every thing on your list. I had a mid life crisis at 50 and now have a butterflie tattooed on my left-hand shoulder blade. I only have the one. I also agree with the person who won't hold spiders and snakes. I love that you have a list of things you definitely won't do .🎉

[@DestinationRetirement]

Hi Jen, New Patreon member here! Thank you. One of the sweet things about getting older is not caring as much about what other people think. This makes it easy to say, naw-not interested in that bungie jump. Me either! Classes in pottery? Sign me up. Moving to Merida Mexico, on it! Just one year and 5 months to go!

[@silverandsolo]

Love that!

[@amylee5808]

Oh girl....I'm with you on every single thing on this list EXCEPT two. Vegas: There is SO much to do, even if you don't gamble (I do but shouldn't), drink (I don't), or stay out late (nope). I took my daughter on a trip there when she was 9 or 10, and we saw shows, went to the zoo and aquarium, swam in the pool, and ate a ton of good food. Definitely recommend! Tattoos: You are correct; it does become an addiction :-) I absolutely love mine. I'll also say that I have been the unfortunate recipient of not one but TWO awful pieces. I not-so-affectionately referred to them as my "prison tats" until I had them removed. And I promise you, it was exponentially more painful (and expensive) having them lasered off than it was having them put on, so I don't recommend it for anyone who isn't fully committed!

[@sharonsaber223]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I laughed throughout. My anti bucket is about the same as yours. I enjoy your take on life and humor.

[@cyd12845]

I started a reverse bucket list. Things I've already done, but as I limited it (so far) to things that I had also wanted to do and not just gone along with, I haven't gotten very far with it. It could include riding a motorcycle, but that was just part of my childhood and no big deal at the time. And a hot air balloon ride, again as a youth and not my idea but fun. Maybe I should just expand it to include all the things.

[@GwenMotoGirl]

You helped me add some to my list. I was hanging Roman shades and nodding my head in avid agreement about puffer fish. Hadn’t thought of it! It’s securely added. I nearly fell off my ladder howling with laughter when you mentioned the motorcycle. I was talking out loud to myself about the fish and my favorite hobby, my motorcycle, in a little debate with myself, and then your next topic was ride a motorcycle. You’re right, it’s risky. I don’t disagree at all. I think about the risk a lot, but I do love it. My BFF rides a trike, and we’re both retired now and have long distance trips planned for Autumn. This was a fun discussion.

[@debbie9112]

Agree with everything on your list. I have gone to Vegas, wasn’t that impressed. No desire to go back. Plus I don’t want to gamble my hard earned money away.

[@christinesanchez4801]

This is great. As a 58 yr old, entering a new journey in my life, Life is way to short, As women, we can trust ourselves and decide how we love to live. I agree with you wholeheartedly, what everyone is doing, is not always "the fun things to do" I do not enjoy Vegas!! Ive been. Im with you! there is no allure. It is designed to take your money & keep a person duped. Our lives as more mature women have sooooo many more options, I love cruising!! and being pampered. I need all extra funds for my future Journey...

[@awildapproach]

Love this! Reminds me that I need to redo my bucket list, because it's probably been about a decade since I've done mine...

[@GiantessNomad]

I lived in NYC for 12 years and never did New Years in Times Square. At one point I lived around 15 blocks from there and didn’t go. I agree with you on the trekking thing too. I can walk 10+ miles a day, but sustained inclines just do me in! I see a lot of KZbinrs walking the El Camino right now - nope.

[@LurkerSmurf]

We share #1. I was already thinking that before you started the rundown, lol. I had to read Anna Karenina for a Russian lit class. Just because something has been declared a "classic", doesn't mean it's a good read. I watch Sydney's fireworks for New Year's. 5 am on the 31st if you're on Pacific Time. It's a mid-summer celebration there, so it's a lot more fun. The reason I've never gotten a tattoo is because I know what my grandparents' skin looked like when they got past 80, and yeah, a tattoo would look horrific on me when I'm elderly.

[@seahorse5689]

I'm right there with you on all of these. On New Year's Eve. my ideal is to watch a marathon of Start Trek or Twilight Zone episodes and then hit the hay by 10 PM. No late nights or boozy hangovers for me either. I was a big runner through my 40s, but I never had a desire to run a marathon. Love your channel!

[@kambrose1549]

I also did English. I shrieked with laughter about your indignation with Anna Karenina! My limit was a bad first chapter. If the author hadn't hooked me there, he was out. My husband was more dogged and would say things like well, it really improved after chapter 5...

[@omazlife4229]

I love Vegas myself - there is something so over the top about it that I always enjoyed when I visited. Gambling was a very small part of it... But most other items you noted are also on my anti-bucket list (which didn't have a name until I watched your video). I enjoy your channel 😊

I’m 44… this just showed up on my feed. I’m hooked. Kindred spirit personalities. Lol’d a couple times. And a 007 reference??? 🤩

Loved this idea of "Anti" Bucket List.

[@susankenyon6514]

Like your brother I also have 1 tattoo, don’t plan on any more. My 1 is a Canadian maple leaf. I was born and raised in the Lower Mainland, but moved to the states when I was 20, which means I’ve lived there longer than I lived in Canada (now 69). I felt a need to express my Canadian identity, not unhappy with my decision at all! Enjoy your channel, thanks.

Put seeing the Rose Parade in person on your list. Cold, loud and long lines for the port-a-potties full of drunk people. Once was too many times for me.

You are smart and sensible!

Some things that were but are no longer on my bucket list - Mardi Gras in New Orleans, walking the Appalachian and Camino trails. I completed a marathon weeks before I turned 37. I’m 60 now and exercise an hour a day but no longer feel it’s wise to push my physical limits, like doing a triathlon, for example. I’ve yet needed surgery for anything other than dental, and hope to keep it that way for as long as possible😊 For my next vacation to Las Vegas I do plan to do my first zipline! Got caught in a riptide in my late 40s during Hurricane season and almost drown. And have swam in several oceans during lightning storms. Stupid, I know. I still swim in the ocean but only in clear, calm water and stay close to the beach. Love Cozumel!

We are anti bucket list twins!!!

[@trace_aroundtheworld]

Agree with almost all of your items! I did Las Vegas only as part of a bigger trip to the Grand Canyon. I'm also not a big gambler, but I did enjoy the sights and the Cirque du Soleil shows! I would go back to see all those! And I have a few tattoos, and plans for more!

[@saramclaughlin2470]

I could have the same bucket list. 😊

[@wendybowman5305]

I love the idea of an Anti Bucket list. I too have missed the window on some of the hikes you mentioned. I really know if they had been important to me I would have done them long ago. I too now would take a train to Machu Picchu. Glad to hear there is one. In my 20's to late early 50's I was a runner. I did a few marathons and many races and just ran for fun. I cycled and swam a lot as well. so happy I did that then as I loved it and was never injured. I stopped early 50's and started walking. It felt right for me. Also I do yoga which I love. I too will not ride a motorcycle as that time for me has passed. I thought about it however never pursued that. Just not interested. I love to travel so that is my passion and I do lots of that. I have even camped a bit on my travels loved it however not the way I do it often. thanks for the video and I am going to look more at my anti bucket list, so great. I too have books that I will never read. thanks Jen

Came for the anti-bucket list (identical with my own) and subbed for your spirit!

[@deborahcouzens4877]

Jen I am nearly 61 years old and agree with all your bucket list. Mostly the 1st item. I would and could never do bungee jumping. Not a height thing just totally scares me to be falling off a bridge or mountain and hanging by my ankles. Nope never 😅😊

[@Woottart]

This is a good idea. I don't have an Anti Bucket list but I do have things I will not do. Jumping from a high place for a thrill is one of those. At 66 tattoos are not my thing and I am not into it at all. Climbing those mountains is out also. I think it shows maturity that you know what you like and don't like and will not be pressured into doing just to prove something.

[@shanbush4127]

Felt the same about Vegas but had to go for a conference 5 years ago. I rented a car and drove out to Valley of fire which is not far and went to Red Rock Canyon(right outside Vegas) as well as the neon sign museum and did other ‘non casino’ things and it was great! Glad I was forced to go😂 I would def go back

[@Raina907]

My senior year of High School Crime and Punishment was required reading. I have to say it was one of my favorite required readings during all of High School. Motorcycle... yeah not missing much there. It is dangerous, mostly because of other drivers. Time Square on New Years Eve was horrible for me. I went with a bunch of friends... it was freezing, and some random guy groped me walking by in the crowd. Just way too many people. NY is not one I'd ever recommend to anyone. As far as tattoos, there just isn't anything I'd want on my body for the rest of my life. Henna is the way to go... change it every 30ish days. I guess there are a few things I'm anti... no jumping out of planes. I'm totally on board with no pufferfish. Probably other stuff. I just haven't given much thought to things I won't do.

[@craftinggoodvibes4182]

My absolute number 1 on my anti bucket list is and will always be "Bunjil jumping" never no way nit going to happen.😂

[@Sheila-wb7rt]

Agree with all 👍and like the idea of a non- bucket list very cool

[@user-hc6so5ul6o]

Most of what you listed plus scuba diving, space travel, rock climbing, visiting certain countries, and doing anything underground. Then there's the "did it once, don't need to do it again, ever" list. That includes eating sushi, eating blood sausage, going to an opera, and going on fair rides that spin me around. I have to say though I've never been, I would go to Vegas for the shows.

[@janedernelley7200]

Totally agree with everything on your list - especially the tattoos

[@suzannedeturk]

We have the exact same #1 "not gonna do it"
