First Post

Welcome to my comprehensive list of things I want to see!

A couple years ago I started sending myself an email every time I heard of or read about a place somewhere in the world that I wanted to visit.  With each email I would tell myself that someday I would organize all of them into a list so that I would have my own not-so-traditional bucket list of things I want to see.  This blog is me finally coming through on that promise.  From this day forward it will serve as not only a list of unique places I want to visit, but also a documentary of my travels when I am finally able to check each one off at some point in the distant future.

So, what's on the list?  Nearly all of the things I want to see come with an interesting story.  I love reading the history behind places and things, especially those that are less than well-known.  You won't find any posts about the Pantheon or the Great Wall of China, but the stories behind the things on my list are just as fascinating.

And while the primary purpose of this blog is to serve as a long term to-do list for myself, I hope that there are others out there with the same sense of adventure that will find the places I write about just as intriguing.
