    35 People Around The World Share What They Want To Do Before They Die

    Spoiler: Love, family, money, peace.

    Before I Die I Want To is a project founded by Brooklyn-based photographer Nicole Kenney.

    Since 2008, she has asked strangers around the United States and India one simple question...

    And she has them handwrite their responses on the Polaroid pictures she takes of them.

    The project was inspired by the "death" of Polaroid photography, and it aimed to motivate the photos' subjects to achieve their goals. Other similar projects have been successfully launched since.

    Below are a few poignant examples.
