Our friends over at Budget Travel are asking for your New Year’s travel resolutions. Feel free to drop by and tell them about yours, or read those in the Comments to get some ideas.
So far, most commentors list destinations that they’d like to see– St. Petersburg, Cairo, the Galapagos– but some have to do with re-thinking the way in which we travel. For instance, one commentor is resolving not to travel by plane at all during 2008. Another commentor is pledging not to forget about the wonderful things to see in her own country: “Sometimes we get so caught up in the exciting travels we have abroad that we forget what adventures await us in our own backyard.” Guilty!
As for me, my resolution is to travel a bit faster. While many travelers often rush through countries in a feverish attempt to see everything, I have the opposite problem. I try so hard to, as someone once said, “know well a tiny piece of one place” that I end up missing some really worthwhile destinations. Well, I’ve shared mine, now how about you? Are you making any travel resolutions for the new year?
