Traveling Bucket List

Anyone who knows me would probably agree that I am a pretty decent daydreamer. Most of my daydreaming revolves around traveling...a mere glance at a picture of a cityscape, or an exotic destination is enough for me to dream up an entire trip. I should almost turn it into a business, but the fine print would casually state that I'd be joining my clients on the excursions I dreamed up for them. It's only fair, right?

Regardless of whether or not I'll ever be able to get paid by going on adventures with complete strangers, I do know one thing. The daydreaming will never cease to excite me and I will always....ALWAYS have an on-going traveling bucket list. Some destinations will hold a life-long spot (i.e. New York City), because let's face it, you can never get enough of the Big Apple. Others may jump around the list, which is why I'll keep them in no particular order...jotted down just like they are in my travel journal. This list will probably never shrink in size, and I would imagine that's partly due to the fact that it's a bit easier to jot down 'Australia' in a notebook than to come up with the time and money to take the leap down under! Ah it all feeds the obsession....
