Travel Wish List (For The 40s)

I went back into the archives of this blogs and found this post. Of all the countries in the list, only China, Japan and Korea were visited and I was quite bummed to see that. However, traveling is not cheap, and I was struggling to balance work and life in my 30s, so I'm happy enough with the results. 

Just for fun, let's make the list again. Here they are in continental and alphabetical order:

Africa

Let's blame it on Disney, but apart from Tanzania (that I have yet to cross out from my previous list), I want to visit Madagascar. Other African countries that I also want to visit are Morocco in the north and South Africa.

Asia

As a Southeast Asian, I want to complete my ASEAN tour. I still have the Philippines, Laos and Myanmar in the list. I have friends in the Philippines and Myanmar, and I really hope I can make it one day.

Apart from Southeast Asia region, I also want to visit Central Asia, aka the -stan countries, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. There is another -stan country, Pakistan, but I think it falls under the South Asia category. Oh, I still want to visit India, too.

And of course, I want to visit the Gulf region, particularly Mekkah and Madinah for haj. May God grant me this travel wish list in the next few years.

Australia and the Pacific

Australia is not just a continent, it's one country, a very large one. I don't know where to start, but I really want to see Melbourne, which everyone calls as an artsy city.

Instead of Australia, I actually want to visit New Zealand, the country where Middle Earth is located, Lord of The Rings once reigned and Jacinda Ardern rules. 

Europe

It's hard to pick just one country in the Blue Continent. France still ranks first, though, but being a tropical animal, I think I will enjoy the southern Europe countries (Greece, Italy and Spain) more as they have warmer climate.

The Americas

I've been to Peru in South America, so for the next travel in this continent, I want to see the northern regions. If it's the US, I want to visit New York. If it's Canada, I want to visit Justin Trudeau (wait, what?), LOL.

Somewhere in between

The fun side of geography is there will always be parts of the world where a country is located in between the continents. Some of such countries are Turkey and Russia (between Asia and Europe), and Egypt (between Asia and Africa).

All of those are currently just wishful thinkings, but we will never know what the future holds. Let's work hard, save some money and search for cheap tickets, shall we?
