I just don’t buy into the whole “travel when you’re retired” thing. It seems like such a waste to wait my whole life to travel (and, not to be morbid, but assuming I make it to retirement age).
I just got back from my latest trip to Montreal, which was fantastic. It was my first visit, and it definitely won’t be my last.
Despite the cost $400 and the fact that I’ll soon be jobless, I took the trip on my own for a few reasons:
1) I really wanted a getaway from New Haven and

Weekends! The joy of anyone living in the workaday world. We’ve got to make the most of them because sometimes it’s the only thing to work for. Although I can’t really complain about the ~5 weeks I’ve had off this year, this basically means doing my best to make the weekends a blast. And I sure do a good job of that.

After being inspired by my Location Rebel comrade Sean’s bucket list and his post explaining how it got him on a TV pilot (awesome!), I decided it’s time that I start working on my own. I definitely got some inspiration from Tyler’s 1% Club, too. Aside from being a really fun idea, I think it makes a lot of sense for goal setting, too. If I’m going to do this whole location independent thing and travel thing, I should at least have some ideas of where I want to go and what I want to do!
Here’s what I’ve …
