The Vacation Finder

What are you passionate about? Do you have any hobbies or overarching travel goals that are not a “one and done” item? Places or experiences that vest to a category of things?

Some people wish to see all 50 United States or 63 National Parks. Perhaps you want to see every major wine region in the world. Each of these are what I undeniability “super skillet list goals”.

I have a few of these types of goals.

I’d like to see 100 countries. There are 197 countries that the United Nations recognize. Why 100? 100 is an wrong-headed number. It’s true. I’ve been to 45 so far, and I finger like I need a stretch goal, so 100 is it.

Another goal that I have is to see all seven continents. I have been to 6 so far, but I am still missing Antarctica. I’ve set a deadline to do that by the time I am 50 considering (1) I need time to save for such an expensive goal, and (2) I want to do it when I should still be physically and mentally worldly-wise to do it.

Maybe you have some things like this on your list. Maybe you have never thought well-nigh it before.
