“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”

Traveling is so good for the soul. The following are my top places and things I want to see and do before I kick the can. I’ve included things I’ve already done to remind myself of where I’ve been.

MAN-MADE WONDERS

  1. See the sunrise over Angkor Wat in Cambodia (It was magical!)
  2. Kiss on the Eiffel Tower in Paris
  3. See the pyramids of Egypt
  4. Gaze at the New York city skyline
  5. See the Taj Mahal in India
  6. Visit the Colosseum in Rome
  7. Visit the Sistine Chapel

NATURAL WONDERS

  1. Sail the Galapagos and hang out with the animals
  2. Gaze at the dazzling Aurora Borealis
  3. Cruise Ha Long Bay in Vietnam
  4. Smell the cherry blossoms in Japan
  5. Marvel at the icebergs in the Antarctic
  6. See the Grand Canyon at sunset
  7. See lions, elephants, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopards in Africa (Limpopo National Park)
  8. Cruise down the Amazon River and stay at a jungle lodge

  8. Walk the Great Wall of China
  9. Hiking in Yellowstone National Park
  10. Climb a mountain, any mountain. (Climbed Mt. Sinai in Egypt…2,285 m OMG! OK, technically I rode a camel partway up but I hiked the other part where it was too treacherous for a camel to pass through! Let’s climb another one…)

    …AND WE DID. This time closer to home at Mt. Carleton. At 817 m, it was an easier climb, but I did this at 8 weeks pregnant (Ughhh… I was soooo tired and nauseous).

  13. Bike across the Golden Gate Bridge
