Listography goes Travelling

Last weeks Listography on 'Decisions' was a wonderful insight into what makes people tick and how they came to be where they currently are in life. A huge number of you who linked up listed travel in your 'best ever decisions' and so, being a frustrated traveller myself, (and no not in the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding way) I thought this week we'd dedicate a whole Listography to it.

Seeing as we've already done Favourite Places I've been to, this week it's the turn of Top 5 Places I'd Like To Visit.

Here's mine:

1. Machu Picchu, Peru.


Ok I love the history aspect, I love the mind boggling amazingness of it all. But what I really want is to be able to say 'I've been to Machu Picchu'. Not because I like to brag you understand, just because I like saying 'Machu Picchu' and in the normal run of conversation there just isn't much call for it. Anyway, before I move on I'd just like to say Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu.

2. Norway - Northern Lights
This has been on my list for a very long time. It's so ridiculously other-worldly it deserves to be seen at least once just to remind ourselves how insignificant our tiny lives are in the huge scale of the universe. Plus it should stop us worrying about things like whether to paint the living room cream or magnolia.

3. Nepal.
I missed this destination during my pre-kids travelling years and fear I may never get there now. Sob.

4. Seychelles
I don't really think this one needs any explanation. Just look at the picture and drift off for a moment.
Ok that's enough - my turn.

5. Yosemite National Park, California
Not only the home of Yogi and Boo-Boo but the ultimate camping destination. Just need to watch out for their cousins paying a visit...

Right - I'm off now to check my bank balance to see whether we can afford to go further than the back garden this year. Those damn kids have a lot to answer for.

Now it's time for you to join in and do some day tripping. So off you go and write your own post on your blog and then come back here and enter your details in the linky below. And don't forget to visit some of the other lovely entries too.

  1. Ooooh, great list, this will give me a lot of food for thought. Definitely agree with the Northern Lights, would be a life-changing sight I think.

    Better get my thinking cap on!

  2. Machu Picchu and the Northern lights would be fabulous places to visit...I have already done the Yosemite thing and S and I will have a wedding blessing there later this year - but it is a beautiful place.
    I think that I have far too many places I want to see to narrow it down to a top 5!

  4. That picture of Nepal is absolutely stunning. Takes me back (coz I've been there - smug f**k that I am). But all those other destinations would def be on my list. Never gonna happen, though, which is quite sad, really.

  9. Ha! Machu Picchu! Mr Fussy has been there and is dying to go back. So maybe I'll see you there.

    My sister (a pilot) has seen the Northern Lights from up high and she says it is amazing.

    Great list!

  10. That was hard...so many places, only 5 spaces! Love your list Kate....all those places look amazing. Especially the camping with Yogi!

  11. Fabulous List. I saw the Northen Lights when I was living in northern Canada, and they are definitely worth seeing. Haven't been to Yosemite but the Rockies are similarly breathtaking.
    I think I'll be doing my own 'Favourite Places I've Been' sometime, since I missed the Listography. Not sure if I'll be able to limit it to 5 though! :)

  15. Macchu Picchu and Northern Lights are on mine too. Nepal nearly was but just missed out. Not that fussed with Seychelles but I'm more of an explorer than a sandy beach type. Bloody gorgeous place though. x
