I received Dave Freeman's book as a 'stocking filler' and really was inspired to make more of my life through travel(LOL more travel) and experiences.

I'm interested to know what others would choose for the following categories. I'll list 5 entries for each category(with no significance of order), but please expand further if you so desire. If you are stuck for inspiration, then simply come back later to edit your list. If you think a 'wish' headline is missing, then go ahead and add it. :
