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.

    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. I can’t believe the different ways in which people live and how great this world is. I also want to visit some of the places you mention. One of my dream vacation is to go visit Thailand, my birth place.
