The story behind the site

Hi, I’m Shaun. And I almost didn’t do it.

This site exists because of one moment I nearly let slip by — and the realisation that most people have a hundred more just like it.

Where it started

We all have a moment we nearly let slip.

Like a lot of people, I spent years saying “someday.” Someday I’ll take that trip. Someday I’ll learn that skill. Someday I’ll finally do the thing I keep talking about. Someday always felt close enough to be real, but far enough away to keep putting off.

Then someday started turning into “wish we did.” And that feeling — that quiet, nagging sense that time had passed and the window had closed — is one I never wanted to feel again. More importantly, I didn’t want other people to feel it either.

That’s why I built this site.

The biggest regrets in life aren’t the things you did. They’re the things you kept saying you’d do someday.

What WishWeDid is

A nudge. A reminder. A place to get inspired.

WishWeDid is a place where real experiences, honest reflections, and genuine inspiration live. It’s for anyone who has a trip they keep putting off, a hobby they’ve always wanted to try, or a goal that keeps getting pushed to next year.

I write about the experiences, decisions, and life moves that people always wish they’d made sooner — and I share stories from others who finally took the leap. Not to make anyone feel guilty for waiting, but to make it easier to stop.

Experiences

Trips, adventures, and moments people wish they hadn’t waited so long to have.

Skills & Goals

The hobbies, habits, and challenges worth starting before life gets in the way.

Real Stories

Honest reflections from people who stopped waiting — and what happened when they did.

Who this is for

If you’ve ever said “I really should do that” — this is for you.

You don’t have to be reckless, rich, or retired to live a life without regrets. You just need a little inspiration at the right moment — and the permission to stop treating your own dreams as optional.

Whether you’re 25 or 65, whether it’s a weekend trip or a complete life change — the best time to start is always now. Future you is already watching.

Get involved

Have a WishWeDid moment of your own?

I’d love to hear it. Share your story, your regret, your inspiration, or the experience that changed your life. Your words might be exactly what someone else needs to stop waiting.
