The Wishlist of a Wanderlust

I am someone with wanderlust and just the word "travel" excites me so much.

I spend my past time researching on the places that are worth a visit and my destination list continues to expand every time a new one catches my attention. Could I have been a gypsy who just wanders across the most exotic places in the world and learn different cultures, food and living? I very much envy those people who are into this profession.

Someday when I get a big fat pay cheque or if I win a lottery (basically when my money bag becomes heavy), I would love to explore some of these beautiful places across the globe. My checklist can be never ending but for now these are the ones that am settling for now.

India:

1. Andaman & Nicobar Islands / Lakshadweep - to go on scuba diving, island camping and snorkeling
2. Allepey - for the Boat houses
3. Amritsar - Golden Temple
4. Leh/Ladakh
5. Taj Mahal - doesn't need an explanation
6. Pelling/kalimpong - River Rafting
7. Rajasthan
8. Himalayas - To experience the freezing cold (It stretches across India and hence categorizing it under this list)

Across the Globe:

1. Venice - To catch the glimpse of their architecture and watch their dance fest
2. Hawaii - Honolulu man!
3. Paris - Wouldn't it be more romantic to be in the actual romantic city
4. Phuket/Banghok/Pattaya - For the islands, floating market, night life and shopping
6. Dead Sea - A non swimmer can't ask for more where you can survive without getting drowned.
7. Switzerland - I always fancied Switz and would love to visit the quiet countryside. I want to visit Lauterbrunnen. Its gorgeous!!
8. London - Its London... What more is required?
9. Turkey - To visit the caves
10. Gothenburg - For the scenic beauty
11: Dubai - Bhurj and shopping
12. Hallstatt - Yet another beautiful town in Austria that reminds me of Wordsworth's poems of Nature!
13. Kenya - Safari
14. Alaska
15. Greece - Skopelos & More. Ever since I saw the beautiful islands in 'Mamma Mia' where Merryl Streep lives I got carried away by this place
16. Maldives/Mauritus/Seychelles - I am a 'water' person. You must have known by now. I can keep visiting beaches/lakes/islands/streams/rivers... without any complaints. H2O is the key.

I am just hoping and wish that sometime down the lane I can surpass the virtual trip through Google and rather pack my bags and be ready to explore the world in reality.
