Over Hill and Under Hill

I don't yet consider myself a well-traveled person. At least, not yet. I've been to the wet coast of Canada when I was 9, the east coast at 13, and down to the states various times, the furthest south being North Carolina. and when I was 17, my parents took my sisters and I on a "heritage trip" to see where our grandparents and great-grandparents had come from. We traveled through England, Scotland, and finally the Netherlands.
Now, I can't tell you which of these big trips first awakened the desire to travel within me...maybe it was none of them, maybe it was the yearly camping trips we always took up north or down to upstate New York. Either way, I found I was always happiest when out in the wild world. I even loved the trip to Scotland so much that I returned for my final placement in college and lived and worked there for a semester. Not a day goes by where I don't miss my time there or the friends I made, where I wish I could go back and just breath the Atlantic sea air in again. As much as I know I want to go back, I also know there are so many other adventures I want to go on before I re-do one for the third time.
I don't know about you, But I have two travel bucket lists: One I know I can fulfill, like visiting a major American Revolutionary War reenactment at Fort Ticonderoga or Williamsburg, Virginia, or roadtripping out to Newfoundland and seeing the Viking settlement at L'anse aux Meadows. The other is filled with the ones that are more "if I won the lottery" or "when I'm rich and famous" type, like backpacking up to Mount Thor and Mount Asgard on Baffin Island or driving cross-country for as long as I want and stopping at every "Welcome to _________!" sign I see.
Your travel bucket list is going to be different. Everybody's is. the point of a travel bucket list is to wish and dream, without those you just spend your days working and never seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. So whether you're an over the hill or under the hill kind of person, always keep those dreams in sight!
