wait a minute mister postman • 30 comments • Postcards have been sent to people from every spot we've visited thus far! We've sent some to family, friends, and some nice strangers who have sent us some really informative emails. If you've been following our journey for awhile, you may remember that we solicited some suggestions for our 'wanderlist'. We promised a postcard to those who recommended something that shows up on our list. We'll be contacting those of you who are getting one! Feel free to keep sending us suggestions for our list. Our favorite was to try zip-lining - which we ended up doing in Nicaragua! Here's our updated list: 1. Learn to Scuba Dive 2. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro 3. Walk Across Spain 4. Visit all 7 continents 5. Skydive 6. Drive around a country in a campervan 7. Sing Karaoke in Japan 8. Learn 'Hello' in as many languages as possible 9. Take Dance Lessons 10. Go on an African Safari 11. Volunteer Abroad 12. Study Yoga in an Ashram 13. Whitewater Rafting 14. Ride an Elephant 15. Go on a cruise in the Galapagos Islands 16. Participate in a flash mob 17. Hike the Inca Trail up to Machu Picchu 18. Try Shark Cage Diving 19. Learn to Surf (sort of...) 20. Attend Burning Man 21. Be an extra in a Bollywood movie 22. Eat an insect (by accident while eating dates. GROSS) 23. Go Zorbing 24. Join a huge choreographed dance (See here & here) 25. Try CouchSurfing, at least once 26. Learn to ride motorcycle 27. Go Sailing 28. Swim with dolphins 29. Explore a cave 30. Run a Marathon in another country 31. Climb a volcano 32. See one of the remaining Beatles live 33. Go Zip-lining 34. Volunteer with the Let's Colour Project (thanks Katie!) If you know the best places in the world to do some of the items that aren't crossed off, we'd love to hear from you. We're looking forward to adding some things we haven't thought of !
wanderlist - a list to inspire wanderlust • 42 comments • We're inspired by John Goddard who, at 15, wrote a list of 127 goals to accomplish during his lifetime. Although we're not interested in making a 'bucket list' at this time, we thought that a 'wanderlist', a list to inspire wanderlust, would be more appropriate. These are all things that we hope to accomplish during our travels. Our list, in no particular order, is: 1. Learn to Scuba Dive 2. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro 3. Walk Across Spain 4. Visit all 7 continents 5. Skydive 6. Drive around a country in a campervan 7. Sing Karaoke in Japan 8. Learn 'Hello' in as many languages as possible 9. Take Dance Lessons 10. Go on an African Safari 11. Volunteer Abroad 12. Study Yoga in an Ashram 13. Whitewater Rafting 14. Ride an Elephant* 15. Go on a cruise in the Galapagos Islands 16. Participate in a flash mob 17. Hike the Inca Trail up to Machu Picchu 18. Try Shark Cage Diving 19. Learn to Surf (sort of...) 20. Attend Burning Man 21. Be an extra in a Bollywood movie 22. Eat an insect (by accident while eating dates. GROSS) 23. Go Zorbing 24. Join a huge choreographed dance (See here &; here) 25. Try CouchSurfing, at least once 26. Learn to ride motorcycle 27. Go Sailing 28. Swim with dolphins 29. Explore a cave 30. Run a Marathon in another country 31. Climb a volcano 32. See one of the remaining Beatles live 33. Go Zip-lining 34. Volunteer with the Let's Colour Project (thanks Katie!) *We've seen several travel photos of people riding elephants and it looks like fun. However, elephants at some tourist destinations are treated quite cruelly. We would like to make sure that we don't indirectly contribute to animal abuse, and would rather support an organization that promotes conservation or forgo the experience completely. Any recommendations? Speaking of suggestions, we'd like you to tell us what you think we should add to our list. If your idea makes it onto our list we will send you a postcard during our travels.
