Wanderlust Wednesday- Travel Goals for 2012
Happy New Years to my readers! I hope everyone has recovered from the busy Holiday Season! I love New Years because it’s such a great time to reflect on your past year and make resolutions (that you’ll hopefully keep) and try to make the absolute best of this next year!
Before I get to my goals, I really wanted to thank all of my readers for being so awesome and supportive. I’ve been blogging for just a bit over a year now, and it has been a great outlet for me personally and I can’t wait to write more for years to come! So again, a big THANK YOU to you all!
I have a lot of personal goals for this year, but the seven goals I have (so far!) pertaining to travel and my blog are:
- I want to leave the US once in 2012, and I want to go to a country I haven’t been to before (If money allows, of course).
- I want to visit a state that I haven’t been to before (I’m thinking the Carolinas).
- I would love to eat at three restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives that I haven’t been to before. (It’s a fun way to put good local cuisine into your US travels!)
- I want to go on another father/daughter hiking trip. I’ve had the pleasure on going on two trips with just my dad, and a few days where we’ve been on day hikes, and I always feel even closer to my dad after these trips. I’m lucky to have a dad who has his own sense of wanderlust!
- I want to not miss a single Wanderlust Wednesday (even if it’s a bit late, I want to have 52 this next year). Can’t wait to find inspiration every week!
- I want to do an entire post in French- so I can put my classes to good use- and do it without using Google Translator.
- I want to inspire someone to go somewhere new, and be inspired by my truly amazing readers. I love having this as an outlet to talk about travel and have my fellow-bloggers who understand why it’s important, and give me inspiration with their own posts and pictures!
What are your guys’ goal for travel this year? Anyone planning amazing trips, want to travel with someone in particular, have a food you want to eat somewhere or anything else? Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a great week!
Great goals, I have no doubt you will achieve them.
Thank you; I hope I do! Do you guys have any travel goals set for 2012?
I want to go back to Sorrento and S’Agata and walk the 600 steps to the beach that Cataldo walked everyday to go to work. (see the post called The Best of Italy)
We are hoping to go to Sardinia and I want to visit and photograph all the tiny villages in the mountains around Bagni di Lucca.
I will have to check that out! I would love to go to Sardina, and I can’t wait to live vicariously through your posts and photos! Great goals!
If you’re heading to the Carolinas, I’d suggest Charleston, SC. Probably the coolest city in the country. Just avoid the summer. Anytime before May or after August should be fine. October is the best.
Thanks for reading, what about Charleston makes it so cool? I haven’t really looked into it much…
Hi there, thank you for the “Like”! Your blog is fun, I hope you keep traveling and writing!
My travel goals for 2012 are:
- mini trip to NYC with my hubby
- day or weekend trip(s) to Asheville, NC
- big summer trip to hopefully Santa Fe and Santa Barbara, or Salt Lake City and Santa Barbara
- maybe a trip to Georgia?
Wow! Looking at the list makes me realize how lucky I am. If you are going to the Carolinas, I suggest Asheville, NC (the “Paris of the South”). Charleston is also great- lots of beautiful old Civil War era homes, good food, historical sites, etc.
Thanks again!
Thanks for visiting my site! Those all look like great goals- I love that you do a lot of short trips! I love those as well! Thanks for the suggestion on Asheville- “Paris of the South” is a pretty great nickname! I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks again for stopping by and commenting!
Sure! Asheville is lovely, I hope you like it if you can go!
Hello AshleyPaige, happy you dropped by my site – and glad you enjoyed the images from Cambodia. It’s wonderful that you have so many goals in mind for the new year. Bonne chance avec tes études françaises!
Thanks for stopping by mine, et merci beaucoup pour les encouragements!
Hi, Wanderluster!
I love your ideas about travel and share your passion. Looking forward to reading about your adventures.
Thank you for stopping by, and commenting! I love to hear from my fellow wanderers! Hope to have a million more adventures to write about!
When my wife and I aren’t traveling, we live (at least for now our stuff is in storage) in Charleston, SC. If you want to visit one of the Carolinas, don’t miss Charleston. James & Terri on an RTW
Thanks for reading! I’ll have to go to Charleston, it looks pretty great! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great goals! Enjoy your French classes – it is such a beautiful language, even if it’s difficult!
Thank you! I’m really enjoying the challenge of learning a new language and the more I learn the more I want to learn! Thanks again for reading!
Love it! Good luck with all your goals.
Thank you very much! I do too!
If you end up in Raleigh for a night or more, I must must must recommend The Pit. Simply the best BBQ I’ve had so far (I even had it cold for breakfast the next morning) and even my vegetarian fiance had some amazing tofu!
That sounds great! I love to eat at fantastic restaurants, so thank you very much for the suggestion, and for reading!
