I'm leaving on a jet plane...

I have the travel itch.

This is nothing new for me, every couple months I get the urge to go somewhere. Anywhere. The good news is I have booked a ticket to Salt Lake City, Utah to visit a couple friends. The bad news is I keep seeing all of these good prices on plane tickets that I can't buy.

For those of you that don't know, I have a list of places I want to go someday (literally it is a word document on my computer). If I ever win the lottery I am going to take off and see the world. Until that happens here are my top 10 places I would visit internationally.

  1. Australia - Yes, I know I have already been here but the country is huge. Sydney is my favorite city in the world and I would love to go to Ayers Rock, Perth, Canberra...the list goes on. PLUS, I would get to see my mates again!
  2. Seal Island, South Africa - This one is probably never going to happen but I can dream! This is one of the few places in the world where great white sharks actually come out of the water while they are hunting seals. I would love to do a cage dive - talk about an adrenaline rush!!
  3. Galapagos Islands - Another one that is unlikely to happen. As a biology geek, I think it would be amazing to see.
  4. London, England - amazing theatre, musuems and Buckingham Palace. This just seems like a fun city to walk around in for a couple days or week.
  5. Paris, France - Eiffel Tower, the Louvre the list goes on.
  6. Costa Rica - For years I have wanted to zip line through the rainforest.
  7. African Safari (South Africa, Madagascar, pretty much any country would do)- Seeing the large carnivores and animals of the grasslands would probably take my breath away.
  8. Belize - I have heard the SCUBA diving here is amazing!
  9. Antartica - It would be pretty cool to see the massive ice sheets and perhaps some penguins or whales.
  10. Vancouver, Canada -  Just seems like a nice city to go walk around and explore. Plus, its not too far of a flight!
So there is my list. I am now accepting donations....HAHA just kidding. If you have any suggestions of places I should add or things I could do in Salt Lake City feel free to let me know!
