Now comes the hard part. What all do I want to fit in :)

I guess I'll start out by listing all the places I absolutely have to visit in life. : ) Then I can figure out what all I can fit into this trip. I started out thinking that I would go all around the world in one go. But the more I think about it, I really want to immerse myself instead of making it some whirlwind thing. So maybe I'll split this up later on.

I definitely want to do Africa. Victoria Falls. Kilimanjaro. Egypt.

And South America has to be done. Macchu Picchu. The Andes. The beaches. Brazil. I HAVE to learn Spanish.

And how can you see the world without Europe. Norway. London. Scotland. Amsterdam. : ) Eastern Europe.

And I haven’t even started on Asia. China, definitely China. And I want more of Malaysia.

And snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. And climbing the mountains of New Zealand.

And living on some island for a couple of weeks. I've got it - Galapagos.

Just me, my backpack and freedom.

In case you haven't figured, I am a nature guy. :)

A Statement of Purpose

I have been wondering for a long time about what my passion is – and although I have no clue if it is finance or tech or consulting or business or writing or math or academia, I do know that traveling is definitely a passion.

So here it goes. This blog will exist for one goal and one goal only. To plan out my trip around the world.

I would be surprised if it takes long to convert this into a reality but just in case it does. If I haven’t done this by 1/1/2010, I will just quit my job/studies whatever it is that I am doing then and leave.
