I’ve been thinking a lot about traveling recently. Maybe its a side effect of the February-funk, or just my inherent desire to be constantly moving around. Nevertheless, I’ve been thinking about all of the places I want to go in North America and how many of those places I haven’t been to. So, I decided to make a list of the top 30 places I want to visit before I’m 30. I limited myself to just North America, because it seems a bit more manageable than trying to achieve my whole world travel list. I’ve only got 10 years to do it, but I think I can get to all of these places. Hopefully at least. I think you’ll find an underlying theme of mountains, and National Parks. What can I say, I’m a sucker for fresh air and forests.
