  1. This is wow-list. There were many items which I personally love. This is great: 38.Learn a language. I love languages and been learning them all my life. That’s why my blog is in four languages. I know too more languages, but enough to make blogs in them.

    48. Own a sports car – done. Fantastic! I love fast cars, but never have had possibility to own one. My newest car has only 313 hp. Before it I had a car with 280 hp. I love to drive fast and in Europe the only legal possibility is on German highways (autobahnen). Among photos in my About me I have one photo showing how fast I drove there. Can You drive fast in Your country legally?

    68. Spend a night in an igloo. Well another experience could be to spend a night in an ice hotel. To spend a night there is possible in Finland in World’s Biggest Snow Castle.

    What about to meet Santa Claus: Arctic Circle in winter.

    All the best to You. Happy and safe travels!

    1. Thanks Sartenada for your lovely comments. Sadly I no longer own a sports car but adored driving it in the summer with the roof down. Here in the UK we can’t drive very fast legally.

      I loved the snow castle in Finland. Just been over to Finland in March to see the Northern Lights which were amazing. I specifically chose igloo as it is more authentic than the ice hotel but I’m not very good in the cold so that could be interesting!

      Great idea about Santa Claus. The closest I have got is to pulled along on a sleigh by Santa’s reindeer which was fun.

      All the best to you.
