I have quite an ambitious travel list for 2015. I should tell myself to set smaller goals… but lets face it, I’m not like that. I like to strive for the “impossible” and see where that takes me. Last year, I also set high standards and only crossed off 1.5 on my list. Here was my previous list:
- New Zealand
- Cambodia
- Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Brasil
- Bankok, Thailand
- Galapagos Islands
- Maldives
- Morocco
- Washington, DC
- Munich, Germany
- Barcelona, Spain
- Greece
I was able to visit Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest and had a short layover in Washington DC… that counts as half, right?
This year, I have bigger plans. Let’s see if I will follow through.
January: Edinburgh, Scotland √
I returned from Edinburgh earlier this month after celebrating their Hogmanay festival. I came home with a viral infection but it was worth it.
February: Costa Rica
My birthday is in February and I have an entire week off! My friends and I were planning on a trip to Miami, Florida, however, my friends were unable to get those days covered. Now, I’m onto plan B: Going to the beach somewhere, but where? My friends recommended Costa Rica and now I’m trekking the exotic ocean and jungle with 2 of my coworker a coworker.
March: Dublin, Ireland
I love Ireland. It’s my favorite place in the entire world. Hopefully, I’m able to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in my favorite country even though their celebration isn’t as outrageous as those in America.
April: Cambodia
A family friend is getting married in Cambodia. My mom is against traveling to Cambodia because she claims that it’s “unsafe”. Surprisingly, she gave me the okay to travel there as long as I’m in the presence of my bong (an acquaintance who is older than you). My mom wants me to represent her at the wedding… however I’m not very fond of that idea. This will be a great opportunity for my family friends to auction me off to the single men at the wedding… It happens all the time.. even in America. My plan is to say my hello and part ways to celebrate Cambodian New Years.
May: Turkey
Turkey has never been on my top list of places to visit until recently. I’ve seen beautiful photos of the Mediterranean Sea/ Black Sea and the hot air balloon drifting across the sky. Sounds like a fantasy to me!
June: Iceland
I tried to travel to Iceland last year in July but let’s say that I got stranded in New York. I’ve done my research and now I’m aware of my other options. I won’t be stranded this time around.
July: South Korea
There is a cosmetic company in South Korea that couldn’t afford to advertise their products so they created the Boryeong Mud Festival to allow people to test out their products. It became an instant success and now people from around the world travel just to experience this. I’m not about rolling around in mud but it would be interesting to see.
August: Italy
La Tomatina! That’s on my bucket list for who knows how long. It’s time to cross that off!
September: Norway
On my trip to Guatemala, I met a girl from Norway. We became instant friends. We are both adventurous and love to hike. She showed me beautiful sceneries from her hikes throughout Norway. I would love to see what Norway has to offer.
October: Albuquerque, New Mexico
I’ve been to Albuquerque numerous times for work. There isn’t much to see there but the people are friendly. I love that. What makes me want to visit Albuquerque in October is their International Balloon Fiesta!! I’ve seen photos and it looks breathtaking. Can I ride in one of those balloons too..probably not?
November: New Zealand
I really want to go here!!! I don’t think I’ll get here next year but it’s a dream.
December: Barcelona, Spain
I want to bring in the New Years with a glass of wine and some tapas with my best girl friends. Cheers!!!
What are some of your 2015 dream destinations?
