An individual can try, see, taste, visit, or watch many things over the course of a year. Most people stumble across opportunities to try new things on a daily basis but never do.  Trying something new could be simple  or a complicated as making major life changes. Most of this things on this list fall somewhere in between…

1. Drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Do you? I know i don’t but i try.

2. A Project 365. You take one photo a day for a year. Sounds easy, I haven’t been able to do it as of yet. If your already doing a 365 what about a more specific one, like a photo of one of your meals?  your bag? your car? your bed? or a self portrait?

3. Running a mile. If your already a mile runner how about  stepping the game up an running a marathon?

4. Learning a new language. Learning the entire language is a wee bit optimistic and time consuming but some learning key phrases, traditional greetings even curse words could all prove to be useful in many situations.

5. Starting your own Blog or Podcast. Who knows YOU may discover a hidden talent for writing or broadcasting.

6. Volunteering. For a day, for a few hours, for a few months. If your feeling ambitious maybe you’ll consider going on a volunteer vacation.

7. New Cuisine. Try a cuisine that you have never tried before… Indian, Korean, Thai, Greek, Japanese, Argentinian, Moroccan, Cambodian and so on…

8. Going Vegetarian or Vegan. For a month, a week, or even a day. (I will be posting more info on this in the near future if your interested say tuned)

9. Going Green. This can be done on many levels… start with a reusable coffee mug or unplugging your electronics when they aren’t in use.
