Welcome to Chasing Emma, a bucket list blog

Hi there! My name is Emma and I am passionate about living life to the fullest and seeing as much of the world as possible. Check out my bucket-list to see what items I have already checked off and what experiences I’m still working on. If you want to learn more about my story, check out my About page.

Most of my bucket list items can be divided into four categories. Not sure what to read first? Here are some of my favourite bucket list adventures:

Adventure

As someone who experiences rather serious anxiety, getting out of my comfort zone and doing something new and exhilarating is a must. Here you will find some of my most exciting adventures that pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Ziplining through ancient rain forests in New Zealand

Skydiving in New Zealand

White Water Rafting in Bali

That Time I Survived a Hot Air Balloon Accident

Surviving the Cage of Death

Climbing a volano

Australia

Australia is a place of extreme conditions and beauty. From snow capped mountains to red sandunes to hidden waterholes, Australia is a place of wonder and I am so proud to call this place my home.

Quirky Experiences

Here is where you will find some of my more unsual and quirky adventures. And just a word of warning, ‘misadventure’ is my middle name.

Escape rooms – not as easy as you might think

Travel

Many of the items on my bucket list involve or requie travel. Thus far I have only travelled to a small number of countries, but for me it’s about the quality of each experience rather than the quantity of locations. From my two week exploration of Egypt to my whirlwind trip through Europe, to my adventures in New Zealand.
