Inspiring Myself

Good Evening everyone,

If you have looked at my last couple of posts you would have seen that I want to travel the world. Well... that's in 3 years. Until then I want it to be like a dream, I wanted to create something that would inspire me to save my money, a goal almost.

When I get paid on Friday I am going to buy one of the money tins that cant be opened unless you have a tin opener, even then they are still a bitch to open. Anyway, after looking through my trusty friend Pinterest I have found a couple of designs that I would like to have on the outside of my travel jar. I do also have a savings account, the jar is just for the useless change.

I have then also created a travel mood board or inspiration wall, thank you Dad, for printing out about 50 pages of colour photos for me.
On this wall I have a map of the world, this I would then colour each time I travel somewhere. I am setting a high goal with this and say I would have liked to have traveled to everywhere by the time I am 50.... 32 years... that's enough time to travel to and I've been to about 7 places... (I did one of the travel checklists online)
Okay, maybe I won't have traveled everywhere in 32 years.

Also on this wall is tonnes of photos of places I hope to go to in the world. I will then also add my own photographs at some point too like I said before I want to cover up my ugly pink wall paper.

Adding to that I really want to get a polaroid camera, they are just so expencive ahhh.


Attached are some photos of my wall and the things on it.

So here is a full image of what I have at the moment on my wall, so far I am really happy with it and I can't wait to fill it up!

Here is a photo of the full map

Here I have zoomed into that small area of places that I have traveled to.

Finally all of my photos!!!

That's all for today everyone!

I hope you like what I have done, and are enjoying the fact that i am posting more frequently!

Until next time,

Poppy

First Stop.... Australia!!!

For those of you who read my post from yesterday, you will know that once I finish university I would like to travel the world.

Australia has been somewhere that I would like to go to for years and I have found a way I can spend 3 weeks there and travel to more than 5 places.

I have created an itinerary for myself and I am now researching how much money I would need to save over the next 3 years before I start my journey with help from my trusty friend Pinterest.

3 Weeks In Australia:
🗺 Days 1 to 3: I will start my journey in Sydney and this would mean that I would need to get a plane there and many of them you make a stop. Once there I would like to go to the Opera House, Walk around Circular Quay, Explore the Rocks District, Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Visit Bondi Beach, Goto Sydney Tower and so much more.

🗺 Days 4 to 6: My next stop is then Cairns, here I will swim in the lagoon, go on a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef, go white water rafting and so much more.

🗺 Days 7 to 9: I will then travel to Port Douglas and visit the Daintree Rainforest.

🗺 Day 10: Alice Springs, I love the name of this place.

🗺 Days 11 to 15: On day 11, I will travel from Alice Springs to Glen Helen Homestead. On Day 12 I will visit Kings Canyon and then on days 13 to 15, I will go to Uluru where I will watch the sunrise and sunset and one thing that I am really excited for and that is riding a camel and may I add during sunset. (Amazing photo opportunity right there).

🗺 Days 16 to 18: Great Ocean Road. This is a long one so be prepared. I will visit Torquay, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Lorne to Apollo Bay, Otwyas National Park, Kennett River, The Gibson Steps, London Arch and The Bay of Islands.

🗺 Days 19 to 21: My final days, Melbourne. Here I will ride the city circle tram, go shopping, go to China town and so much more to the point where this post could be turned into a book.


I know I will end up adding things to this list the same as the list of places that I want to go to. I am going into town today so I am going to go to a couple of travel agents and get brochures for some of the places I want to go to.
I have a huge wall full of pink wallpaper that I absolutely hate so I will cover that with photographs and a mood board of the places that I want to go to. be prepared for a post on that.

Until next time,
Poppy

Finally planning my life.

I have now finally realized how bad I have been at posting on this blog, I struggle with finding things to write and today I have finally realized what I want to do with my life and that is travel.

In September I am going to start my 3-year tourism course at Canterbury University and during the time between now and 2021, I am going to save as much money as I can to do what I want to do and travel the world. For my uni course, I am going to Malta and Tenerife so that's two places I can tick off of my list.

I have started writing a list of all the places that I would like to go to and it is pretty long.
Because I want to travel I have been thinking of ways in which I can share my experiences with people, some of these ways include Instagram and its stories feature, Snapchat, Blog posts on specific places and for myself doing a Bullet Journal- which after flicking through Pinterest for countless hours I have found many ways I can write about my travels.

I haven't been to many places as I am only 18, however, the places I have been to were amazing including Italy, Cornwall, and Turkey to name a few.
Me and my best friend are planning to go to Paris this year and when I went there in 2016 I absolutely loved it.

My list of places that I would like to go is pretty long and I know for a fact I will keep adding destinations to it. Now I know my list has some places more than once, that is just because I want to go to specific places there.
So for starters, my list consists of:
🗺 Magnetic Island-Queensland, Australia
🗺 All over Australia
🗺 Rome
🗺 Vienna
🗺 Rio
🗺 Venice
🗺 Amsterdam
🗺 Angkor Wat-Cambodia
🗺 Machu Picchu-Peru
🗺 Egypt
🗺 India
🗺 China
🗺 Kjeragbolten- Norway
🗺 Trolltunga- Norway
🗺 Cambodia
🗺 The Dead Sea
🗺 Chile
🗺 Bolivia
🗺 Niagra Falls
🗺 Gullfoss Falls Iceland
🗺 Maldives
🗺 Santorini (Again)
🗺 Bora Bora
🗺 Bali
🗺 Maui
🗺 America- Including the Route 66
🗺 Sri Lanka
🗺 Malaysia
🗺 Botswana
🗺 Russia
🗺 Thailand
🗺 Greece

Well, that is my list, for now, once the list has been updated I will write another post. Until then.

See you next time,
Poppy
