My Top Travel Dream Destinations

With yesterday being my birthday I think I'm entitled to some big dreams.  And my favorite kind of dreams are those of the travel variety.  As there are less than two months until I arrive for my year in Spain I have been thinking about the many places I would like to visit, generally things close/around Europe so I can still afford them.  The more I think about those destinations the more I think about all the places I would like to travel in my lifetime (in no particular order).  Ever since I was a little girl I would read stories and look at maps and promise myself I'd go to wondrous places one day.  But could I afford it, could I make it happen?  Doubt or no doubt I continued my big dreams.

As I got older and caught the travel bug I found that I could afford travel and that even the biggest dreams could be made possible, like visiting my number one dream of Monet's Garden.  So though many of these dream destinations may be out of reach in the near future, due to time and budget constraints, I will continue to dream as big as possible.  Here's to one day seeing them all, or hopefully at least a few!
