With Eyes Open Travel Meme 1
We have a section on the site called With Eyes Open, a collection of intriguing, and hopefully inspiring, survey questions that are mostly about travel – experiences, memories, and observations. In that spirit here are a few questions for you to consider at the beginning of a new year.
If you could take a dreamtrip in 2008, where would it be to and why?
I think the big circuit of SouthEast Asia, including India, parts of China and Japan, might be my dreamtrip of 2008. I have no plans (as of yet) to get there, but it’s been on my mind for the last six months or so.
If you could only visit one new (to you) city this year, which one would it be and why?
Oaxaca, or Buenos Aires. Sometimes I get these strong urges to go to places I haven’t been before, as if I was supposed to go there for a reason. Both Oaxaca and Buenos Aires have been pulling me towards them. I’ve given up questioning why this is, and just try to answer the call.
If you could go back to one place this year that you’ve been to before, where would it be and why?
The Yucatan. That place has been calling me back since the day I left it. The area, on the surface, appears to have not much to offer other than jungle and heat, but there is so much there to explore and experience. This is a trip I’m really trying to put together this year, sooner, rather than later.
Do you think you might travel more or less this year than in previous years?
I’m hoping more. Because I’ve been stuck behind the computer producing this site for two solid years now. Although that stickiness brings me great joy, it is a lot of work!
What will you be looking for in your travels in 2008?
I always feel a little bit wiser, and a little bit more compassionate, when I come back from somewhere. But other than wisdom and compassion, it’s anyone’s guess – more great stories and photographs perhaps?
