What a cool thread! The replies have been thought-provoking.
For me, thinking about travel goals is at once overwhelming and exhilarating. I think I'm struggling with an old mindset that allowed me to make all kinds of excuses for not traveling; that, by choosing a goal or a destination, I'm shunning all others because of limited finances. I guess it's a scarcity mindset, which I'm not proud of.
Anyway, thanks to miles & points, I just got back from my first trip to Europe, and now I'm hooked. One day I want to have very specific goals like a lot of other people here, but for now, my biggest one is:
* at least one new stamp in my passport every year (I live in Los Angeles and haven't been to Mexico since we needed a passport / have never been to Canada, so this one won't be too hard
)
