Travel Wanderlust: World Map.

So hi...

I've mentioned a few times on the blog but I love travelling. I love the idea of backpacking around places and just taking in the different sites of the world. I got to go abroad a few times when I was younger but I don't remember many of them, and although they were nice, if was often family holidays without the opportunity to actually explore.
Last year I was lucky enough to go to Paris and Salou Spain. (Read about my Paris trip: part 1, 2, 3 & 4 Or my Spain trip here). The Paris trip was super touristy and I got to visit nearly all the big attractions and sites while the Spain one was more of a relaxed, on the beach sort of holiday.
This year I'll likely only be visiting dublin towards the end of march and that's it. Finances just aren't super great but that doesn't stop me dreaming.
I had a post last year on the top 10 places I want to visit (here) and looking over now and again is great motivation for saving money little by little to put towards trips to those places, but as well as that I bought myself a world map poster, and quite a decent sized one.

I love the idea of marking a world map with all the places you've been and all the places you want to go. When I eventually (and hopefully!) own my own place I'd actually like to have a feature wall in my bedroom or living room of a world map, The whole wall would be a map for me to place markers to places I want to go and Postcards from places I've been. But that's big dreams of the future, and for now my poster is good enough for me.
I currently have written the places I've been and remembered which isn't very many. They sit along the bottom part of the poster except my Dublin note as it's still to be done and sits up next to Ireland. The poster itself sits right in front of my desk, it's basically the main focus of my little uni room and inspires me daily.

I hope to get to the stage of confidently travelling alone as currently I've never been abroad alone. The closest is when I went to Paris last year, I was going as apart of the fashion society but knew No one who was going, it was great though and I still managed to make friends. But I'd like to make the full leap and completely travel alone. Though I would probably keep to Europe for my first few alone trips as I would still be able to rely on people speaking English if I was lost or in trouble, and once I'm comfortable I'll expand my travels.

A few travel goals I would like to achieve:
Roadtrip around America for a month or so.
Live in Japan.(and learn the language.)
Backpack around Europe.

Do you have Wanderlust? how to you keep inspired to travel?

Top Ten Travel Wishlist

So hi...

If you follow me on twitter at all you may have seen that I've been really inspired lately by Funforlouis and Really been wanting to experience the most I can out of life. Along with this new found motivation and inspiration is a great deal of wanderlust. Watching Louis' travels has made me so jealous and really want to explore the world. Now I'm only a very poor ( soon to be ) Uni student, meaning the likeliness of me being able to venture the world as much as I'd like is rather impossible. I plan to save as much as possible while at uni and such in an attempt to afford to go places during my uni summer holidays.That said I thought I'd put together a little wishlist of the top ten places I'd like to visit.

1. Austin, Texas. This is the top of my list because me and Ross both really want to go there for the RTX event that Roosterteeth run, We plan to go after I've finished uni as Ross will be 21 by then ( he's 18 now) But I really can't wait.

2. Paris. I've really been wanting to visit Paris lately, I think watching beautycrush and her vlogs of the place was one reason I've wanted to visit more and more, also a lot of people seem to be visiting Paris lately and it's such a cute place that I want to just explore all the side street and chic-looking shops.

3. New York. Another spot of America, hey it's a big place. The shopper and dreamer in me wants to visit New York and pretend some sort of movie story is going to play out as I shop the streets and accidently meet Mr. Tall dark and handsome (I can dream.)

4. Rio. Influenced greatly by Funforlouis, Rio just looks like such a beautiful place with a lot of pretty sites and places to explore, The sunset also seem like it would be an amazing site.

5. Tokyo. This one stems from my deep love for anime, manga and all that Jazz, I also just like Japan in general, I think it's be such a cool visit for technology stuff as well as manga and cheap clothing!

6.Egypt. I'm really interested in Egyptian history, Egyptian stories and myths are always super interesting to me so I've always thought it'd be really cool visiting there.

7. Rome. I think this one is because of my religious upbringing, makes me want to see the Vatican, but I want to visit Italy in general, But Rome is somewhere I'd like to explore first.

8. Florence. Carrying on from wanting to visit Italy, I'd love to go Florence, this is a very game influenced decision as I'm obsessed with the Assassins creed series and The first few based in Florence and that area are my favourites, also It look just so structurally beautiful.

9. Amsterdam. Style Scrapbook is the main reason for this choice, I've thought Amsterdam would be quite an interesting place to visit anyway but when I see the Gorgeous photos from Style scrapbook of Amsterdam it just makes me want to visit more!

10. Dubai. No exact reason why I want to visit Dubai, my sister went there for a small visit and couldn't stop singing it's praises, it also just looks like a really interesting and culturally satisfying place,

That's my top ten, there are a load of other places I want to go to as well but for now these are the top ones 'm hoping to visit someday!

Where is the top places you want to visit?

We'll talk soon lovelies!
