What better way to kick off the new year than by planning your next great adventure? On this episode, we're sharing another podcast which will make your adventures brighter, the Everyday Bucket List Podcast. Karen Cordway and her husband (and co-host) Rich share their best tips for setting ambitious but achievable travel goals and bucket list ideas for 2025.
From sparking brain growth (yes, really!) to dreaming so big it makes others laugh, they bring a mix of practical advice, inspiration, and fun personal stories to help you turn "someday" into today. Plus, you'll learn about the 'FILL' method (think free, local, and low-cost adventures) and why listening to birds might just be the easiest—and cheapest—way to boost your happiness.
