The road less traveled.

I love to travel. It is so exciting to find yourself in a new place and just be able to explore everything around you. It doesn't matter if your definition of traveling is small or large. There are so many places you can find just around the corner from where you live or by flying across the world. I prefer to do both. Whenever I can.

Here is a list of places I want to go sometime in my life. Preferably sooner, rather than later:


1. Back to London for the 2012 Summer Olympics. I know, I know. You're thinking that this is a huuuuuge number one choice of places to travel. But, it's rather easy to plan, if you start early and know what you're doing. I know the city of London very well. So, finding somewhere to stay is easy. It's the crowds and possible terror threats that you have to watch out for. Plus, the cost is less than desirable, but save, save, save is my motto. Sometimes. :) But who wouldn't want to visit the country across the pond to watch Michael Phelps beat more records and the little gymnasts do flips for days and the US beat everyone in basketball again. It's awesome! I love London and I want to go back. Plus, Adam has agreed to go too. What could be more fun than that?

2. Montana. Is that weird? Probably to some, but not me. I have never been a real outdoorsy girl. I like to be in air conditioning in the summer and under a blanket in the winter. But, when it comes to visiting Montana, I know I could handle it. Funny, but true story of why I want to visit there. When I was little, I had a globe. I would put my finger on a random spot and spin it as hard as I could to see where it landed, and that would be where I would visit one day. Well, my finger always landed on either Russia or Montana. I didn't care for Russia because of all of my Russian ballet teachers, so I settled on Montana. I even looked it up. And boy, it is spectacular. Just go look for yourself. Or come with me when I go there. You'll see.

3. Greece. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Mamma Mia." Need I say more?


4. New York City. Never been. Call me crazy, I know. Most everyone I know has at least visited one time in their lives. I have a few friends who even lived there for a summer or two. But, not me. I have always wanted to go there. Especially in the fall. I've heard it is beautiful with the leaves in the park, and when the weather is crisp. Yeah, I could definitely enjoy that. Hopefully, I will be there soon though! Randan and I have planned a trip for a weekend in October. It's not all finalized yet, but we are in the beginning stages. The weekend we chose is also the weekend of the NYC Food Network Food & Wine Festival. How perfect?! Now all we have to do is find the money to go to all the fun events. Ha! I'll keep you posted on this one.


5. Vancouver/Seattle/Pacific Northwest. Maybe it's because I like cooler weather. Maybe it's because I love Twilight. Or maybe it's because I just wanna be on the West Coast, but not in Cali. I just want to visit the PNW. Seems like a cool place to be. My friend Zach better have a good report when he gets back from his cross-country roadtrip so I can dream about how great it will be when I finally visit.

I am looking forward to visiting these wonderful and very different places in the near future. I hope to also bring along family and friends with me as I experience new adventures in each unique place.

Maybe I will find some good food on my travels. I am sure I will. :)
