I've been particularly wanderlust-y lately. Part of it has to do with the nearing of summer vacations, and another part has to do with my reminiscing of my study abroad trip which I took around this time four years ago. (You can read a little about that trip here, here, and here.) I just want to get up and GO. (This e-card couldn't be more perfect.)
I've been putting off serious travel, opting for when I'm "older." But the reality is that life happens now, andoften times sometimes the "perfect" time never comes, and after reading a comment made by Lydia on my Paris post (2014!!), I finally came to my senses:
I've been putting off serious travel, opting for when I'm "older." But the reality is that life happens now, and
"...so often we put stuff like that off, waiting for when we have more money or less going on at work or just a million reasons not to when you are forgetting the most important reason why you should."Profound, Perspective. Perfect. After all, "travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer."
just a few of my travel plans...
To hold me over, I will go over past trip pictures, do some preliminary planning, and go on a little adventure around town. Truly the best thing about living in NYC is it's diversity, and the ability to "escape," right in my own backyard.
What are your travel plans? If you have any hesitations, what are they?
oh my, those sound lovely!
ReplyDeletewe might be planning to go to new zealand this fall since BIL will be there. i would love to get to istanbul and japan one day, too. :)
Oh that sounds AMAZING! I would love to go to NZ but the flight terrifies me!
DeleteI would definitely love to travel more, there are so many places I want to visit.

Always Maylee
I say go! Start with the nearest one.
DeleteI totally agree with you–we're always putting off things like travel until it feels more "right" or money is better, etc, but truthfully, now is the time to go! I'd love to go back to Europe, or some exotic place like India or Thailand!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about Europe! I was so happy there lol. But I'd definitely love to go somewhere exotic. That trip I will put off till the future lol.
DeleteI have so many travel plans lined up that I have no room for imaginary ones! First up, nyc for the summer solstice in Times Square. Its a yoga event and its amazing. then twin cities for the color run then honeymoon in greece then philly for a bachelorette party! hope you get to go on at least one of your dream trips!

These aren't dreams anymore! More like an itinerary for the next 2-3 years.
DeleteThe yoga event in TS sounds fun! And I was totally going to do the color run this year, but then I got injured. oh well! Definitely have some awesome trips in the works!
Such a great travel list! Dubai is definitely on my list as well! My husband and I try to go to at least 1 new country every year - but I'd love to do even more. This year we're probably going to Croatia but haven't completely decided yet!

That is such a good plan! Oh, Croatia is SO beautiful! I don't think you'd regret going there!
DeleteThis is the best wanderlust list! I think #1, 5 and 6 are my favorites and places I would definitely enjoy traveling to in the future. I have Coronado planned for July and maybe LA in September but nothing international.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I'm okay with it, but then I see posts like these...

I cannot tell a lie, but not travelling abroad this summer is like AHH, getting to me. But I'm not ruling out the rest of the year...
DeleteI wanna go to LA!
