The bucket list that shows Kanye West is far from done

A bucket list reportedly belonging to Ye has surfaced online, and it reads like controlled chaos with purpose. The 36 visible goals include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, buying a house in Jamaica and New York, riding a motorbike, traveling South America, swimming with sharks, skydiving, bungee jumping.

Surfing, scuba diving, snowboarding, riding an elephant, climbing a volcano, writing a book, designing his own clothes, driving from Los Angeles to New York, making shampoos and soaps, visiting Iceland hot springs, attending a drive-in movie, learning French, seeing the Great Wall of China, the pyramids, the Amazon, the Dead Sea, and Petra, Jordan. 

The remaining goals widen the lens even further. Kanye West aims to climb Machu Picchu, visit the Taj Mahal, see Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the Moai in Chile, and Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

He wants to travel in Russia and ride the North Trans-Siberian Express. Beyond geography, the list turns inward, learning to invest, painting often, owning a pug, and learning to pole dance, where ambition, curiosity, and surprise coexist comfortably. Beyond the list itself, West has also teased plans for a new album, suggesting that these goals are not the only future he is mapping out.
