Visit 17 places in 2017 is a plan I am currently hatching. The plan in my head is that I should travel to 17 new places {to me} in 2017. It sounds easy if I am thinking about the UK/Ireland only but no, me I am thinking abroad too. I love crafting bucket lists and though I don’t share them often I love putting them together. You’ve seen 30B430 bucketlist split into: 15 Life Edit and 15 Travel Edit both which I am working through. I am meant to finish my 30B430 before July 7th, it’s gonna be a close call for sure.
{Travel Bucketlist} Visit 17 places in 2017
There are many places that I want to visit, home and abroad but the following are at the top of my list. I hope these places are also on your travel bucketlists or plans for 2017.
Home
Birmingham|Bath |Cornwall |Cork |Lake District |Stonehenge
Abroad
Athens |Bali |Barcelona |Berlin |Bucharest |Budapest |Cyprus |Helsinki |Hawaii |Rome |Stockholm
Traveling is a luxury that I hope to continue having and embracing for as long as possible. I know not many people can travel as often as I do, it’s not always easy. But I say, if an opportunity presents itself take it and don’t look back. For me opportunities to travel have been made possible due to this blog, some press trips and others I pay myself. I am what they call a weekender traveler, I travel more on weekends than normal vacations.
Working 9-5, Monday to Friday leaves only the weekends and vacation time for me to explore. A few years ago I considered this a handicap of sort because we don’t get enough vacation time. And not every vacation time taken is abroad or something we can afford. Because the times when we want to go is the time when everyone else is traveling. This makes traveling to destinations abroad {even home} more expensive and deterring people from traveling.
I decided to look at things differently, I chose to make my 9-5 situation work for me. Sometimes it’s easier to say I can’t do this because of this and that, but changing one’s attitude can help. Money will always be an issue for many of us but sometimes it’s about searching for the deals and using them. Though I like to travel abroad a lot, I realise the UK and Ireland have lots to offer. This year I will be exploring the UK more now that I have a car and seeing what’s what.
Do you have any places you want to visit this year, home and abroad?
Hannah Brice says
oh yes Bali is on my list too. We’re trying to be good with money so we won’t be travelling very much this year. I can dream though!
Anosa says
I am in the same boat but we can definitely dream and you never know
Dawn Gibson-Thigpen says
sounds like an awesome plan. i really want to do more traveling in 2017 as well.
Anosa says
I hope you do Hun and thanks
GlamourGlitterGloss says
Sounds like a great plan, I’m so jealous. I’m going to a few places this year, going to Greece for a few days and then we’re getting a flight to Magaluf and staying there for a few days too. Also I’m going to Florida and on a cruise in the Bahamas, most places I’ve ever been to in one year so I’m quite excited
Anosa says
Ooh a cruise sounds lovely and I would definitely love to go on a cruise

Anosa says
I have a longer list than this of places I wanna see so saving up for the ones listed above

I love traveling to much and already managed to visit an ancient town with my hubby just after the new year. Not sure I’ll be able to make 17 different travels like you though, as baby is due this summer 🙂
Anosa says
Awww congrats in the pregnancy and hope you guys pack in as much traveling as you can before the baby comes
tinagleisner says
I’m blown away by your list as Bali & Hawaii are quite far. I’ve traveled around the world several times, mostly when living/working in TOkyo … and I never did this much travel in a single year. Good luck
Anosa says
Oh thank you so much, I am very optimistic I will be able to make these but will see

I would love to do more traveling as well. I love your attitude of looking at things differently and making your 9-5 work for you. Sometimes it’s just a matter of your priorities and finding a way to make it work.
Anosa says
Thank you so much, I am making use of my 9-5 handicap
Saidah Washington says
I love to travel, but don’t do it as often as I’d like. Most of my travels have been within the US since having my children. Ive been to Canada, Korea, Mexico and Honduras so far. Looking froward to visiting more places.

I think within the country exploring new places can be just as exciting as traveling abroad
Being Std Conscious says
