Places in the World I want to See
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.

According to another website, who created a calculator, I will be 134 years old by the time I will hve visited these 50 places. Well, I guess there is hope…
I have never travel out of California and this past summer I went to visit the east coast. It is so different from the west coast.

One of my dream vacation is to go visit Thailand, my birth place.
