I look forward to the next trip. I always have a next trip to look forward to. This time I have several. It's not unusual at all. I love traveling. This time I have four countries in my sight and hopefully in a year they're all reality. This blog is some kind of a continuum to the first public blog I had; the Day After - a story of an exchange student. I've been blogging since 2008, but this blog hasn't happened yet, and right now it feels like it's been on its way for a while now, so I might as well start it already.
Why Despues del Día? I'm hoping to learn Spanish like I learned English, and the name is only appropriately named after my first blog that told about my encounters with another culture. This time the blog will discuss cultures and traveling in a different way. After all, I am not seventeen anymore. I still have to figure out what this blog is really for, but I have a feeling that this would be an outlet for my need to fly and run. I want to dream and I want to travel. I want to meet people and learn from them. So here we go.
My quartet for the next year looks something like this:
1. Spain: The Canary Islands
I know, a tourist destination, but I will visit my mother there, since she is moving there.
2. Iceland
A destination I cannot wait to see, and I am happy I finally have a good reason to go there.
3. the USA
I miss my other home and I cannot wait to go back there for a visit.
4. Mexico
This one is still kind of open, I hope I'll be accepted to go there to finish my degree. It would be an adventure of a lifetime. And I do like those ones. And after that I might be able to add Spanish to the list of languages I can speak, for now it is pathetically short a list.
These are the trips I am hoping to go on during the coming year. Obviously there might be more trips coming, if my financial situation allows so. Or maybe even if it doesn't.
