I love traveling. It is like an addiction to leave where I live and go somewhere different. There are so many places in the world that I have not seen. There is never enough time nor the money to see them all.

There is a bestselling book called “1000 places to see before you die”. I have not read it yet, but I found an accompanying website that even has an interactive “make your own list tool“.

So here is my list, not necessarily in a certain order, of places I would like to see and things I would like to do while .
