When I left my desk job a few years ago with the focus on doing what I love; a big part of that was living the width of my life, not just the length. It's one thing to travel, but it's another to experience the world. Take in its beauty, enjoy what we have here on earth. Cause life is short fam.
I've lost a few people close to me recently and it's added another gear to my desires. When distant associates ask what I'm living for, I tell them 'That last breath, that last thought.' In the final seconds of my life I don't want to wish I did more. I want to be complacent.
That said...
A lot of the places I'm looking to travel in the next year aren't major cities. But rural destinations that are both scenic and adventurous.
(Was thinking about going here this past weekend: Sitka, Alaska

I've noticed a trend however, a lot of bodies of water, lakes and oceans. So I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to learn how to kayak.

I grew up swimming but I've lost most my skills. I respect water cause I've been around a lot of folks who've drowned. So I'm going to build up my swimming strength over the next few months as well as do rowing work in the gym for strength. Then I'm taking a lesson out on the bay at Jack London Square.

The first major place I wanna go is Lake Louisse in Alberta, Canada

I know, you don't really see nikkas doing this. Don't care. It's both tranquil and an amazing experience with the sights. Gotta cop a GoPro tho.

Yea, alot of people go on vacation just to party, I go to see whatever it is that is unique about that country or city. Places like N.O. and miami or ibiza is known for partying and I do that if I go there, but If I plan a 2 week vacation, I am only going to spend 2-3 days in a "party" city.. I am looking for more and on my most recent vacation, I spent most of my time enjoying the outdoor activities or seeing the things that really make Thailand different. Not chasing Caitlen Jenner and trying to have orgies (well you get p*ssy on accident here) but I think I am avoiding party spots for a few trips and focusing more on the great experiences and sights...

Thailand looks pretty dope :leon:
Its fun, a whole lot of fukkery to get into, if you go my suggestion is to do the Island hopper, it costs a little, but that way you can see all of the islands meet some people and have your accommodations taken care of..
