Day 4: Globetrotting Day

To begin, Happy 4th of July, you fellow Americans. In the words of my hero, Ron Swanson, “The whole point of this country is if you wanna eat garbage, balloon up to six hundred pounds, and die of a heart attack at forty-three, you can. You are free to do so. To me, that’s beautiful.” So, put in that context, America is a pretty cool place. Today my task was to catalogue a list of places that I've 1)Been there done that 2) Intend to go there this year 3) Intend to go there some time before I die and 4) Happy never to set foot there.

1) I've lived in Idaho (was born there), Alaska, South Carolina, Texas, North Dakota, and now reside in New Jersey. I've visited Seattle, WA (where I hope to someday live), Oregon, California (another place that I love), all along the south, Canada,and a number of other places that I don't feel are compelling enough to talk about. Tough luck. 

2) I plan on going to Philadelphia this Friday for a Coldplay concert ( w00t!). I also cannot wait to visit NYC before I leave NJ. I mean, who wouldn't? Communists. I also intend on traveling to the upper Northeast states and possibly the west coast depending on where the wind takes me next.

3) I have a large, and I mean fracking GARGANTUAN, list of places that I must see. Which includes, but is not limited to: Iceland, Brazil, all of Europe, India, Australia, Japan, and Russia (forgive me for the commie joke, even though you guys finally figured it out). I also have this dream of visiting all the places that I've lived when I'm college age. I'm young. Don't ask.

4) Though I like to keep an open mind I definitely do not want to be stepping into a patriarchal war zone, so you can scratch Afghanistan off the list, as well as Korea. 

So there you have it. I dream of becoming a writer, traveling the world (possibly with a lover [if such a thing will happen]), but my door is always open. I'm lookin' forward to wherever I get to see next. Until next time, allons-y!
