Wanderlusting after places you've been and place you'll go

Its that moment when you discover how much you miss being on vacation that you start looking up when you can escape again and the choices are endless because your bucket list is long.

You look at pictures of places you've just been to and vow to return again soon because you had such a great time by the sites you saw, people you met, experiences you just had.

And then you obsessively think about the stuff you missed out on so you plan your next visit and/or pick another place on your bucket list.

So the best cure for Wanderlust is to plan ahead and dream of the next adventure. :-)

Travel nerd

I'm a travel nerd sometimes. I read up on places online, ask friends who've lived/traveled there for tips, read guidebooks, blogs, scour the internet for pictures. Sometimes this gets me in trouble though because I WANT TO SEE, EAT, DO, EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING! I know I'm not alone on this... You know who you are! ;-)

There is always not enough hours in the day. But I actually edit my lists down A LOT to literally 2-3 things a day because it is VACATION after all and running around like a madwoman is not relaxing or appreciative of my surroundings. One of my favorite things to do is to just wander the streets. Sit in a cafe and people watch. I do this even when I'm not on vacation.

Anyways... the reason for this post. I came across this excellent website that is a cross between Pinterest and Yelp for Travelers!

Seriously, check this site out! I'm addicted to staring at all the pictures and mini-posts written up by travelers.
