“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”
-Susan Sontag
Here’s the thing you need to know about me: I love lists. And you shouldn’t be surprised that I keep a running list of all my travel destinations. I’m sharing My Travel List with you so that you can see which locations around the world I know personally and use me as a resource to plan your next travel adventure. Because I was an independent traveler long before Global Heartbeat Travel was created, I haven’t been able to feature all of the cities or countries that I know on the blog, because I’m trying to keep up with my current travels! So, contact me if you’d like to know more about a particular destination that has yet to receive any love on the blog :)
