The fourth quarter of 2024 has begun and the end of the year is in sight. This means it's time to mobilize my strength and plan the next three months so that I end 2024 on a positive note. There are still plenty of things I have planned for the rest of the year - be it professional, personal or health-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My to-want list is my contribution to the Blogtoberfest from Judith Peters<\/a><\/strong>. Unlike a to-do list, which is more associated with pressure and compulsion, I hope that this list of my wishes will give me a boost of energy and motivation for the final spurt of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From magical excursion destinations in the region to important blog projects and private plans, there are 33 things\u00a0<\/strong>that I still want to experience, do or achieve this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
