    Default Where do you want to go?

    I just feel like I've been in one place forever, stuck working and trying to finish graduate school. I've been on a few vacations in the last 3 or 4 years but its always to places I've been before, like my family has this little cabin that my grandfather built in the mountains of North Carolina and its great but its not much of a new experience.

    So there are tons of places on my list but I've been itching to go to New Zealand, from what I've seen its really fucking beautiful.

    But then I was watching the travel channel last night (which is sad in its own way) and this came up,

    Welcome to Petit St. Vincent Resort | A Private Island Resort in the Caribbean

    this little 100 acre island in the Caribbean that is nothing but a resort. There's only 22 cottages spread out along the island and there are no phones, no TV's, there's not even a phone to order food, you just raise a flag and leave a note and the staff comes by and gets it and brings you your stuff. I would like to spend a month there. Its like 600- thousand dollars a night

    Don't mind me I'm just fucking bored and sick of doing the same fucking thing every day. Maybe we should invade the Amir Khan forum

    As an American you're pretty lucky in that there's so many cool places to visit in your own country. I consider myself pretty well travelled and I'm lucky enough to have been to some pretty fuckin awesome places yet the only places left that I really want to see are Stateside. Maybe to an American seeing more of America isn't exactly adventurous but it's definitely something I want to do.

    I totally understand the appeal of some remote island retreat but It's not something I'd personally pay $600 a night for. That kind of money could go sooo much further in say SE Asia (such as Thailand) or South America...

    That appeals to me right now, I guess its a state of mind thing. I'd like the peace and quiet. I guess since right now I don't have the money to do it regardless I'm not too worried about the price.

    I am thinking of setting my mind to winning the lottery. I'm already sick of paying student loans.

    And there are still plenty of places I wouldn't mind seeing in the US. But I guess its not on the top of my list.

    I spent 5 months travelling South America in 2007. I started off in Argentina and moved my way north up to Colombia. Finished off in Medellin then flew home via Vegas for a week to see Hatton KO Castillo!

    Hands down the best 5 months of my life!

    Lived most of my life in Canada, 2 years in France, almost 5 in Luxembourg and if things continue to work for me, I might buy a house in Germany within a few years or if I must go with the B plan, spend some years in Viet-Nam. I don't know about your job or financial situation but why not take a visa and go live in another country for a few months/years? I normally come back 6 weeks per year in Quebec, which are always some fantastic quality time with friends and family happy to see me and almost all in vacation. Perhaps a little change like that could do the trick for you.
