Are there things in life that you've always dreamed of doing, that you told yourself with utter seriousness: I will do that someday? If so, then you have started your life list. It may be just in your head for now, but the fact is, you've started a list of things that will make your life more fulfilling, more adventuresome. That's a good first step.

Now we want to help.

In the spirit of the grandfather of life-lists, John Goddard, we are beginning a feature called Lifelist. Every week or so we'll choose one great adventure and do some of the research for you. We'll help you discover new ideas, find outfitters, stories and everything else we can, to help you build your own life list. Ever said you were going to climb Aconcagua, scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef, learn Arabic, BASE jump some high rocky place? So have we.

We hope too that this will be a collaborative effort, so if you have items on YOUR lifelist that you'd like us to include, send us tips or post comments. Also, if you've ever done any of the things on the lifelist items we feature, tell us. We'd love to hear about it, and to get some dialogue going.  As we progress, we hope you add these babies to YOUR lifelist and start knocking them off, one by one.
