travel around the world

I was able to go to Australia two weeks ago. The experience was wonderful. I hope to be able to visit even more countries next year.

It’s a dream, it’s a goal, I will make it real and enjoy every moment.

The offical ‘Traveler’s Century Club’ list of countries is strange, although I can see why they might include island’s etc as separate. But I feel like a bit of a cheat because I’m from the UK and they include England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Island, and the Channel Islands as different countries! They also allow stop-overs which adds on Germany and Japan although I don’t feel like I really experienced those countries. I suppose it helps you get the numbers up though – so here goes so far…

Pacific Ocean:

1 – Australia (Sydney, Newcastle, Forster, Port Macquarie, Bellingen, Byron Bay, Brisbane, Noosa, Fraser Island, Bundaberg, Airlie Beach, Whitsunday Islands, Townsville, Magnetic Island, Mission Beach, Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Uluru, King’s Canyon)

North America:

2 – Canada (Niagara Falls, Toronto)
3 – United States (New York, Philadelphia, Asheville, Nashville, Orlando, Miami, New Orleans, Austin, Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, San Diego, Memphis, Washington DC)

Europe and Mediterranean:

4 – Balaeric Islands (Minorca)
5 – England (Lots)
6 – France (Clisson, Paris)
7 – Germany (Stop-Over Munich)
8 – Greece (Corfu)
9 – Italy (Rome, Florence, Sorrento, Naples, Capri, Pisa)
10 – Jersey (Channel Island)
11 – Netherlands (Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Delft)
12 – Northern Island (Belfast)
13 – Scotland (Lots)
14 – Spain (Camarinas, La Coruna, Santiago de Compostela)
15 – Vatican City
16 – Wales (Pwhelli, Conwy, Snowdonia, Cardiff)

Middle East:

17 – Israel (Tel Aviv, Eilat, Jerusalem)
18 – Jordan (Aqaba, Petra, Wadi Rum)

Asia:

19 – Japan (Stop-Over Kyoto)

Nineteen so far. Not bad. I could have visited a few more, but I really prefer to experience everything a country has to offer so sometimes I have chosen that over say, popping one foot into Mexico, or Egypt etc.

I traveled once for 4 days to Jordan by Bus and I traveled for 5 days to Cyprus – Ayia Napa. That was all I could have afforded in 25 years of my life so far. I hope I will be able to afford more trips, because the beauty of life is to discover all it’s richness of cultures, landscapes, wonders and mysteries.

February next year very likely Malaysia & Singapore or even Indonesia,

March is Japan if my business is profitable enough,

July is Vienna so whole of August is Europe wihuuu,

The world wont know what hit em hahahahah ;)

Im only 16 but Im saving now so by the time im 20 I can do it :D

Start by educating myself of areas in the world.

I am not actually giving up. I am integrating this goal into: TRAVEL.

Arabian nights like Arabian days – More often than not are hotter than HOT – in a lot of good ways…

I’m going to Dubai and maybe Abu Dhabi for a week in late September! I can’t wait to explore that part of the world for the first time. I hope to go on a desert safari, ride in a hot air balloon at sunrise, see all the fancy sights in Dubai like the Burj al Arab, get some amazing beach time, go to the water park and maybe swim with dolphins, and just whatever else I can! SO EXCITED! :-D

I want to do this. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do this.
But, the thing is that I don’t want to save up money and stay in hotels and visit according to certain factors.
Has anyone ever heard of the term “Squatting?”
It’s sort of like being a nomad.
That’s what I want to do.
But first I’ve got to grow up and get a little money. And get someone to take with me, I can’t go alone. It’s too dangerous to travel by myself, especially when I’m not traveling by normal means.
Anyways.
I know that someday I will be able to travel, I don’t doubt myself. It WILL happen. ^^
