The first thing I want to do when I get out of college is throw and go. This is where you hang up a map on a piece of cork board and throw a dart at it and thats where you go. I want to do this every 6 months for 3 years before I settle down in a serious job.

To have the money and freedom to do this would be in itself an achievement.

This sounds like a wonderful goal. :)
I just hope I will have the money one day to travel (I’ll also need to buy a map and a dart.)

So as I am able to use public transport for free in my state, I decided to try it out just for my state.
The dart landed on Rheinbach. So I hope that I will be able to go there during the next weeks. Its about three hours away…

But it’s not going to happen in the near future. Well, of course I could just find a map of my own country and not the entire world. And just go for a day or two. I’ll think about it.

"One day trip"
How I did it: I only had one day to do it. So I just chose my state map and started small. I decided to only use an atlas and not find out anything about the city before I went. It made the experience a lot more interesting! I would like to do North America next!
Lessons & tips: Get a single sheeted map, not an atlas, it is harder for the dart to stick
Resources: while I traveled, the atlas came in handy!

Thank you to all of you who have now made this my most cheered goal ever. I think this goal is really interesting…just waiting on money and time (aren’t we all)...oh and I need a dart still. What a great story this would be someday!

I cannot wait until the day when I unfurl that huge world map, close my eyes and hurl a dart into that thing, book a plane ticket, couple nights hotel, and just GO…

This sounds like such an awesome idea when time and funding allow! File this in the someday file.

deliberately super-glue magnets to the tip of the dart and to the area in the map I want to go to (see my “Visit 11 Wonders of the World” entries), so that when I throw the dart at the map, the magnets will attract each other! Ta-da!
It’ll work like a charm.

Travel is one of my goals, and what a great way to pick a destination…but is it okay to ‘do over’ if the dart lands in Afghanistan? Or Kansas?

I’d love to do this…I’m going to try this out tomorrow to see where the dart lands!

Just a tad less spontaneous than I wanted the whole thing to be, but the end justifies the means. And I never did specifify the time between the throwing and the going, so it’s still all good!

I had 3 goes. First was Takla Makan desert in China, then Wrangel Island off Siberia and then Democratic Republic of Congo. I’ve decided that rather than that I am going to go to Mauritius instead.

i’d like to do this but im afraid i will be really biased and throw it in the general direction of where i really want to go. oh well! i guess that would still count?

Illinois hangs on my wall FULL of holes.
Did you know we have, and I have been to:
Mt. Erie, IL
Gays, IL
Rood House, IL
Lick Prarie, IL
Wyoming, IL
Nebo, IL
and Plainville, IL
among many many other weird and not-so-weird town/city names.
