Leaf had an interesting question in the Microstock Group Forum – What are your lifetime microstock goals?
Like many photographers, my goal would be to travel all over the world. I would love to have the resources to drop everything, fly to Europe and shoot for a month. I would like to see Africa, revisit the Great Wall of China, freeze my butt off in Alaska. Life is not a journey, it?s an experience. For me, traveling would be that ultimate experience.
My top places to visit, not in any particular order:
1 ) Hawaii – I want to take my parents to Hawaii before it?s too late. My grandmother wanted to visit Hawaii and never had a chance to visit. My mother has internalized this dream herself and I feel like I must make it happen.
2 ) Australia – home of my best friend and kangaroos. What better way to spend winter in NY than NOT IN NEW YORK?
3 ) Africa – Kenya, Egypt. I would love to see the desert and the sand. View the pyramids and see old Cairo.
4 ) Italy – mainly Venice, Rome and Tuscany region. To drink wine and float down the rivers (I?ve heard gondola rides are not all that in person – I?d still like to!) And spend a relaxing week at a home in Tuscany – relaxing so far from everything I know.
5 ) The Galapagos Islands. They were on my short list of honeymoon destinations. I would like to see things you can?t see anywhere else, to experience what Darwin saw. I am about the experiences and nothing can beat seeing creatures that just shouldn?t exist, living in the wild.
6 ) Ireland. Green and castles. That?s what I think of. And rain. I would love to see the old Irish land, castles emerging from the hillsides. Stonework, architecture – what a great getaway.
7 ) Alaska – there?s something about being thousands of miles from anything you?ve ever known and in a situation beyond your immediate control that feels freeing. I speak from experience having spent a year in Korea alone. Alaska is another exotic must on my wish list.
8 ) New Orleans – strikes me as something everyone should do once. An interesting place, from all I?ve heard.
9 ) All 50 US States – what can I say, I?m a guy who likes statistics and completing tasks. 50/50 is a great stat!
10 ) Cheju Island, South Korea – I was ill and had a twisted ankle the first time I went. I would like to go back, healthy and ready to see the island for all it has. I had so many beautiful ideas about my trip there and they turned out to be ? less than ideal. I would like another chance at Cheju.
How do you make all your dreams come true?
