As Part Time Vagabonds, I think we all have a bucket list of the top places we dream of visiting, simmering in the back of our minds. These are the places that we stare out the window dreaming about; the places we spend countless hours surfing the Internet planning our dream vacations; the spots we imagine ourselves standing in, having the glory wash over us.
It’s a beautiful thought, and it’s a beautiful idea to keep in our minds. The travel wishlist gives us goals to hit, and with a little focus, we can really accomplish the whole list. So, here’s mine, which I’ll update as the days go by and the ideas pop into my head.
