A Bucketlist goal doesn’t have to be grand or super expensive. In fact, it’s often the smaller things that matter – the things you can do on any given day. It doesn’t mean it’s boring, they are just more easily achievable. And especially during these times where everything is getting more expensive, suggestions for free Bucketlist ideas are more than appreciated! 🙂
