The two places I have been obsessive about travelling to, for as long as I can remember, are Rwanda and Massachusetts. I’m Australian, so Massachusetts is kind of an oddly specific and rather strange choice, but… obsessions are supposed to be weird.

So many other places flashed through my brain at the beginning of this post… Alaska, Russia, Mongolia, Antarctica, Galapagos Islands, Madagascar… but when you mentioned having a three-year plan, it hit me that it has to be Rwanda. I’m going to do a program with Global Volunteer Network, an NZ-based organisation. I’ve been talking about it for so long, I think I should just kick this thing in the guts and get going already. Thanks for the inspiration.

Rome. I want to see all the fountains and statues and churches and the colloseum and oh, everything.

It’s interesting how one person’s dream destination is someone else’s normality, isn’t it? I live in New Zealand, and it IS beautiful here, but everything aside from the trees is less than 200 years old. I want to see ancient man-made architecture!

So, $2 USD a day? that’s $4 NZD x 4 people in my family = $16 per day. Not so easy, maybe it’ll be a 5 year goal.

Here are the top three places I NEED to visit!:

1) New Zealand – South Island

2) Tanzania

3) Istanbul, Turkey

Surely to God I could do this within the next ten years. Eh? I’m only 20!

I’m hoping that in a few months I’ll be living in Spain, but that’s not what you’re getting at here. So….I’m hoping that I’ll be in Spain and that I’ll be able to meet my family in Ireland next Christmas. This works…a friend of mine told me to go to Italy before I turned 30. I saved up, found a great travel companion and had an amazing time in Florence and Rome a month before my 30th birthday. I think the goal motivated me to actual get to my dream country. Otherwise, who knows…I might still be daydreaming. Thank you for this article and more motivation for my travelling and working abroad aspirations!!!

I think for me it’s got to be London, England. Call me silly but I just want to be awash in very cool accents all day long. Then there are the pubs, soccer hooligans, big red busses and touristy things.

I caught the opportunities to go where I dreamt as soon as I could, and it’s been over 10 years I’m regularly travelling.

Now that I dangerously approach my thirties I realize I’ve already been to these places I really wanted to go to during my childhood, except those places that unfortunately no longer exist due to ‘globalisation’, or became a tad too dangerous (Iraq & Yemen for example).

So that’s a great exercise…I’ve been to India (north), but still I’d love to visit Kerala. Ayurveda, lakes, rivers, coconuts and wonderfull beaches in the indian state where there are the highest % of educated people.

My goal is travel the Philippines first (my home country). Then I will see as much as I can of the whole world.

New Zealand, New Zealand and New Zealand. And I blame the Lord of the Rings movies for it. I want to see the beauty of those places for myself. I am little afraid that I might it love it so much that I might stay back.

Peru and the Galapagos Islands… For 6 weeks I will need $15000 (aussie dollars) and to save that in 3 years is around $14/day. Problem is the closer places get visited first – off to China for 10 days next week. Now I live in Australia I have visited most of Asia relatively cheaply and when I lived in London I toured most of Europe and did Africa on my way back to Australia. South America is so far away but I have a goal to visit it by the end of 2011 (when my partner and I are taking a year off to travel around the world – and go to all the far away places!) Oh wait that means I have to $20/day for 2 years plus the rest…
