I love to go travel and I have goals to travel to various countries. I also happen to enjoy photography and often find myself looking at national geographic pic of the day and other wonderful and beautiful photos. As a result, I also keep separate bucket lists for each country or city that I plan on traveling to in the future. So for Ireland, I would like to see the Giant’s causeway, The Cliffs of Moher, O’brian’s tower, Kildare Abbey, the Poulnabrone dolmen, among other places. These help me plan out my longer term vacations. I often will work with my travel partners and we’ll go over each other’s lists and make sure that we visit somethings from everyone’s lists, hit up the common things for sure, and an ideal vacation we’d hit up everything and still have a couple of “down” days to rest and enjoy some leisure time. The great thing about maintaining these lists is that it allows you to make sure that you visit what you wanted, and gives you a starting point if it’s going to be several years/decades before you make it to that place.
My current lifetime lists for countries contain: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, England, Scotland, Norway, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Korea, China, and East Asia.
