January 4th through January 8th, 2012
Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, the Everglades, Key Largo

Hey y’all,

I’m in the process of a little something I’m calling #yearoftrips (alternate title: #seetheworldbeforetheworldends). I’m posting from Florida, which is the location of the first of at least 12 trips I hope to take in 2012. What else is on the agenda, you ask? This:

• A weekend on the North Shore with a bunch of friends.
• A week in San Miguel de Allende.
• A weekend in Milwaukee.
• At least 10 days in Buenos Aires, Santiago, somewhere in between the two, or a combination of all of those places.
• A week in New Orleans.

And that’s only through April! I’d also like to visit Seattle, Vancouver, Portland Oregon, Portland Maine, Athens and Savannah Georgia, Cuba, Austin Texas, and Los Angeles. There are also a few places that are a bit farther away which would be less feasible (read: more expensive) to get to but incredibly exciting to see: Rome, London, Paris, Dubrovnik, Morocco, and Amsterdam. Oh! And Vienna, Berlin, Glasgow, Dublin, Brussels, and Zurich. And so many more places! Damn, Europe is enticing.

So, that’s the plan! Or at least the start of a plan. There’s been some exciting stuff going on in my personal life which makes all of this all the more possible. Long story short: both my roommates will be pursuing awesome out of state opportunities at the end of the month. Since my lease is up in April, finding a temporary roommate seems less-than-likely so I’ve instead decided to look for someone to take over my lease. If that happens, I’ll be putting all my stuff in storage and couch surfing/staying at my folks’/seeing more of the world. Fun!
