[Road to 50] Travel

My 40s were the decade I travelled abroad more than the rest of my life combined. Not that hard given I didn’t get on a plane until I was 27 and was broke for much of my thirties! Still, given the decade included the Covid lost years I feel like I made up for lost time somewhat.

I still have a few places I’d really like to visit for the first time - Tokyo, Seoul and Buenos Aires being top of the list. I’d like to return to Australia at some point plus there are a few US cities I still want to tick off - Chicago, Nashville and Philly being the main ones. I’ll also be back to New York and LA later this year as well as Toronto and Montreal - getting the next decade off to a good start.

New York is my favourite place and I suspect I’ll just keep returning (I’m back in May) and if I ever do get a chance to work abroad for a while it is a toss up between Canada and New Zealand for my preference.
