Wanderlust Times Infinity: Book Club: The Buried Life

I was first introduced to The Buried Life through the MTV show of the same name, which came out in 2010 (where did that time go?!). The concept of The Buried Life was that four guys, Duncan, Jonnie, Ben and Dave had created their own bucket list of 100 items. The TV show came to fruition with the idea that for every item they crossed off their list, they would travel somewhere to help a stranger cross off one of theirs. The tag line was “What do you want to do before you die?”. So many people wrote in to tell them their bucket list item, that the guys decided to publish a book with their bucket list and then all those submissions included.

'What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?' is a collaboration between themselves and their viewers. It tells the story of where the boys came from, how their bucket list came about and their progress so far. It also includes several vignettes from both viewers and some of their famous friends.

I picked a few of my favourite items shown in the book for this post. They range from serious to funny to silly. It’s just a cool read, incredibly interesting, really colourful, lots of pictures and instantly engaging. I grabbed a signed copy when it was released a few years back, and I pick it up every so often just to remind myself that the things that I want to do are always attainable. I just have to put them out into the universe (um, hello, blog much?!). The cool thing is that they’ve crossed quite a few more things off their list since.
