100 Things I Love About Travel (with Pictures) #100-#90
Last week on Twitter’s TNI, the topic was Wonders of the World (read this if you don’t know what #TNI is). The first question was Which world wonders have you visited? I answered it nonchalantly: Grand Canyon. Machu Picchu. Angkor Wat. Iguazu Falls. PeritoMoreno Glacier. The Taj Mahal. Salar de Uyuni.
Someone commented on how it was quite a list. It got me thinking, that yes, that is quite a list, and as I sat here at home in my office, lamenting the fact that I was here, at home, in my office, and not out traveling the world at the moment, I started to feel blessed. Blessed that I have been fortunate thus far in my young life to have seen and done so many amazing things around the world. So I thought to myself, “Man, I just love traveling. There are so many things I love about it.”
So I started brainstorming and jotting down a list. Nothing terribly specific, but just broad, general aspect of travel that I love. Naturally I thought of how I can work it into a blog post, so I started fumbling through pictures and thought it would be cool to make a list of 25 random things I love about travel, complete with pictures.
Well the list started to grow and grow and grow some more, until I had to cap it at 100. I know how finicky interweb users are about slow load times, so I figured it would be a good idea to split these up into 10 separate posts.
So starting today and every Friday for the next 9 weeks, I will post my top 100 things I love about travel, complete with pictures.
So without further ado, and in no particular order…
