My Life Travel Goals

I spent yesterday working while documentaries played in the background, and while Band of Brothers is never a poor choice (and took up 5+ hours of my time yesterday), it was while Earth: A Documentary was on that I was reminded of the life travel goals that I have. I wasn’t one of those people that took a gap year before or after university to travel – which, in hindsight, I regret – but have a few ambitious goals that I WILL get done. Thought I’d share them with you all; they’re split into two categories: before age 30, and over the course of my life.

Before 30:

  • Visit every Canadian province (left to visit: Saskatchewan, Newfoundland.)
  • Visit all 50 American states (currently have 30 down out of 50; most of the Midwest left, plus Alaska/Hawaii.)
  • Visit the following countries: Brazil, Australia, England, Scotland.
  • Take a week-long solo camping trip.

In my lifetime:

  • Camp in every Canadian National Park.
  • Play golf on every continent (including Antarctica, to whatever extent that is possible.)
  • Climb a top-5 mountain.
  • Take a month each year and live in a different place.
  • Circumnavigate the world. (Yes, I know this is an ambitious one.)

So there you go, a list of what I’d like to do travel-wise over my life. It’s a little bit all over the place, but these are the ones I’d really love to accomplish. What about you – do you have any exciting travel goals in your life? Please share!

  • Well, when you told me a while ago you wanted to visit all 50 states, I kind of stole that from you. >:)

    I also want to do "the great white north".

    I want to go to the Arctic (or failing that, the Antarctic).

    I want to do a Euro-trip.

    I want to hike the Incan trail in Peru.

    I want to go to Africa.

    And you know, I didn't take a year off before/during/after university either but I still managed to get in my "living abroad" experience. It can be done at any point in time - just maybe some additional sacrifices will have to be made.

    Circumnavigate the world? Count me in!

    Personally, I wanted to spend some time checking out the wonders of the world.

    The Great Pyramid of Giza being at the top of my list. :)
  • Giv'er buddy. Great goals. Consider adding New Zealand to the list. Outdoor adventure capital of the world and one of the most beautiful places ever. My year in Australia was amazing and opened my eyes to the world so bright. Good luck achieving them all!
  • Sounds like an awesome plan to me. Btw: I'll hit NFL with you if we drive through the rest.
  • Y'know I didn't take time off after school either, but I don't regret it. Life, is not as short as people think, I find.

    My own personal travel goals are basically to just go somewhere i am curious about every year.

    So far, its been pretty interesting.
  • Like you, I didn't take any time off after school. I too regret it.

    I have always wanted to see more of this beautiful country. So, my goal has always been to cross the country. Coast-to-coast, and all that.
