I was on Facebook the
other day and a really good friend posted a picture of her passport
and a map with the caption “Wanderlust: An Irresistible desire to
travel, to understand one’s very existence”.
As you know winter
vacation has just started and so she was planning to travel to quite
a few places around the world with her family. Seeing that picture
and that quote made me think of how much I love traveling and how
it’s been so long since I took a vacation anywhere fun or
adventurous or just somewhere relaxing with my family or friends.
Sometimes you just get
so caught up in day to day life that you really don’t get a chance
to do the things you love. I have been so busy at with balancing my
work and school that it seems I never get a chance to travel
somewhere.
Of course, being in
college means you can’t always afford to travel all the over the
world, but I have decided that I am going to travel to Australia next
December! Why Australia and why in December? Because I have always
been fascinated by the wild life of Australia and in December because
Australia is in the southern hemisphere, which means it will be sunny
there in December and I will be able to avoid the dreary winter –
bonus!
I have been fascinated
by Australia for so long because it seems like everything there is
either poisonous or dangerous in one way or another. Of course I am
not planning to go there to get stung or anything, but I would just
love to see the outback and see the wildlife. It’s so different
from the wildlife we have here in England…I have also decided that
I am going to look at this as kind of like a new year’s resolution
for the year 2015.
Of course December is
still so far away, but that just means I have got more time to plan
everything out and really work towards making this resolution a
reality. I have been so excited by the thought of traveling to
Australia that I have already been looking at the things I could do
there and the hotels on Travelocity and I learned something in the
process…this could be quite an expensive trip! This means I need to
start saving money now.
So while I was
searching online for ways to make this trip more budgets friendly, I
came across a great website called VouchaCodes.co.uk.
Basically it’s this great website dedicated to providing vouchers
for many stores and business and they have vouchers for
Travelocity.co.uk!
Of course since my trip
is planned for the end of next year, I won’t really be redeeming
any of their vouchers right now, but I have bookmarked the website
and will return to it sometime in November next year to finalize
everything. Let’s make this happen!
So what are your dream
vacation destinations? Leave a comment below and let me know!
