Hey! I’m Haley (i.e. Adventure Evermore).
➡️ If you’re more of a visual learner, here’s a quick video I made with some of this same info
I come from a long line of adventurous women, so the desire to explore and bucket list around the world runs in my blood.
That’s 👇 my Great Grandmother. She was one of the very first women in the US Navy during World War II. She also loved to travel, do adventurous things, and even go on massive roller coaster rides (at almost 80 years old!).

That’s 👇 my Grandmother. She had a heart condition, but that didn’t stop her from traveling the world, sailing the seas, and living life to the fullest (one thing she always wanted to do but couldn’t was skydiving, so I made sure to do it once for her 😉).

And that’s 👇 my Mother. She’s traveled around the world, gone skydiving (twice), jumped right into the middle of the deep blue Pacific ocean, salsa danced in Colombia, snorkeled with sharks in Florida, and had so many other adventures (with and without me).

But even though it’s a part of my DNA, my introverted and autistic brain doesn’t always make it easy.
My anxieties, sensory issues, difficulties with social situations, and a brain that never shuts off makes life in general overwhelming, so travel can be even more stressful.
But despite my difficulties, I choose to live a life full of adventure (the life I dream about having), and inspire others like so many have inspired me.

I’ve completed many bucket list dreams over the years, but I’ve still got hundreds more to go.
That list is my guide to life, and I hope to spend my life adventuring for evermore.

A few of my top favorite bucket list dreams that I’ve already completed include:

How Did I Create My Bucket List?
A lot of inspiration comes from various interests of mine like history, literature, TV, movies, wildlife, nature, sports, adrenaline activities, clean living, searching for peace, and being in awe of my Father’s beautiful creation.
I grew up watching The Amazing Race with my mom, read books like The Magic Treehouse, and dreamt of having adventures like O’Connell on The Mummy, so I’ve been inspired my whole life to go out and find the things I’ve read, watched, or learned about.
Life is too short to always be dreaming, so I’m making myself go out there and live it, with my bucket list as my guide.

Why I Blog
➡ to inspire others to never stop exploring, adventuring, learning, and finding beautiful things in this world we live in
➡ to encourage others to step outside their comfort zones no matter what mental, neurodivergent, or anxious difficulties they may have
➡ to share bucket list and adventure ideas so others might find a few new things to add to their own lists
I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed and anxious (I live in that state), but my curiosity to explore the world out there pushes me to continue searching for the things in life that make me feel alive. If I can do it, so can you!
