I love to travel and I’m lucky that my wife also loves to travel, and that she is willing to put up with me. I am kind of (she’ll say “A Total”) a control freak and a bit of a (she’ll say “A Total”) moron, which isn’t a real good combination… oh well, it makes for some interesting traveling. Recently I've decided to put together a list of travel goals, and they are:

• Visit all 7 continents

• Vist all 50+ countries in Europe

• And live in a foreign country (or countries) for an extended period of time (a year or so)

Right now I am only at 4 continents, but hopefully we will be visiting South America next year, which will put me at 5. And of the 50+ countries in Europe, I will be at 26 after our 2016 trip. The only problem with the 50+ Europe countries is that there are some countries that are going through some difficult times or might be hard to get to, like: Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and others, so this might change to 40, or so, of the 50+ European countries, I don't know, we'll see.
