A Goal to Travel More





Posted by:   Posted date:  January 3, 2012  |  No comment


Ringing in the New Year just would not be the same for me without me making a huge list of goals and resolutions.  Sadly, most of these ideas that I have for my new year to make it better and more fun typically fall to the wayside as work and life get in the way.  I am convinced, though, that this year will be different.  In fact, I made a goal that this year would be different.  So I can’t very well just go breaking that goal.  

My main goal for this year is to travel more.  Sure, I travel a good bit already, but it is usually to the same destinations over and over.  This year I want adventure.  I want to do things that I have never done before, see things that I have never seen before, and I want to eat delicious foods that I would have never considered trying before.  Now some people might think that this will be a fairly easy New Year’s resolution to keep, but I have tried it in the past.  I would always find myself going right back to my traveling comfort zone.  This year I am setting up my travels in advance so I don’t have time to back out and go to the same destinations.

I already have a room booked in a hotel in Costa Rica.  I plan on eating nothing but the local food and going zip lining.  One, I’m picky and terrified of new foods.  Two, I’m so scared of heights I don’t know what to do with myself.  But I am going to eat the cuisine and zip line across the sky, oh yes!

For my second and third trips I am still in the planning phases.  They will be equally as exciting as Costa Rica, but I just haven’t chosen.

Do you have any great places where you travel to that can get me out of my traveling comfort zone?
