Update on travel plans

As you know, travel is one of my passions. I think about it constantly. Where can I go next? How will I get there? Who will I go with? What is there to see? Where will we stay?

I love browsing the internet, checking train schedules, looking for cheap flights and reading up on possible travel destinations.

I love the thrill of trying to communicate in unknown languages, navigating a new city based on a tiny map in the guidebook (or no map at all, as was the case in Novi Sad), discovering chocolate shops and cafes and of course trying new food.

I love the satisfaction I get packing my bags (which I have down to a thirty minute science, btw), and experience pure joy as the exhaustion hits me when I get home.

I love the exhilaration of being hastily awakened at 3am on the train so the border guards can put yet another stamp in my passport, which is now complete with added pages AA-ZZ.

So with this in mind, I provide an updated list of my travel plans for the next three months, as well as longer-term:
