A Million Lists

Apparently every good journey starts with a list - or, as I am coming to learn, a million lists. I wanted to share with you the most exciting list - the list of places we are planning to visit!

  1. Christchurch, New Zealand
  2. Tonga
  3. Sydney, Australia
  4. Newcastle, Australia
  5. Alice Springs, Australia
  6. Prague, Czech Republic
  7. Vienna, Austria
  8. Salzburg, Austria
  9. Fiesole, Italy (in the hills overlooking Florence)
  10. Ibiza, Spain
  11. Majorca, Spain
  12. Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The preview lists available on the websites for these countries have some potentially AWESOME host farms for us to stay at (one in Feisole, for example, is in the hills 8km outside of Florence with a view of The Duomo - they have an orchard and make liqour). We still need to order our WWOOF host books and contact the hosts we would potentially be staying with - but that is a bit later in the planning process. First, we need to both get our passports and book the "Winter" portion of our trip (which will be spent in the Southern Hemisphere, so it will actually be "Summer").

The best thing about organizing this type of trip is the endless changes we could make to our plans. Some of the other options we are considering and trying to fit in include:

  1. Rome, Italy
  2. Santorini, Greece
  3. Berlin, Germany
  4. Krakow, Poland
  5. Warsaw, Poland
  6. Granada, Spain
Top that with an offer by our friend Jesse to come and visit him in India, and another friend offering to show us around Japan! We may just spend the rest of our lives traveling!

Let us know what you think of our planned destinations (leave us a comment below) and any other suggestions!
