Leaf had an interesting question in the Microstock Group Forum - What are your lifetime microstock goals?

Like many photographers, my goal would be to travel all over the world. I would love to have the resources to drop everything, fly to Europe and shoot for a month. I would like to see Africa, revisit the Great Wall of China, freeze my butt off in Alaska. Life is not a journey, it’s an experience. For me, traveling would be that ultimate experience.

My top places to visit, not in any particular order:

1 ) Hawaii - I want to take my parents to Hawaii before it’s too late. My grandmother wanted to visit Hawaii and never had a chance to visit. My mother has internalized this dream herself and I feel like I must make it happen.

2 ) Australia - home of my best friend and kangaroos. What better way to spend winter in NY than NOT IN NEW YORK?

3 ) Africa - Kenya, Egypt. I would love to see the desert and the sand. View the pyramids and see old Cairo.

4 ) Italy - mainly Venice, Rome and Tuscany region. To drink wine and float down the rivers (I’ve heard gondola rides are not all that in person - I’d still like to!) And spend a relaxing week at a home in Tuscany - relaxing so far from everything I know.

5 ) The Galapagos Islands. They were on my short list of honeymoon destinations. I would like to see things you can’t see anywhere else, to experience what Darwin saw. I am about the experiences and nothing can beat seeing creatures that just shouldn’t exist, living in the wild.

6 ) Ireland. Green and castles. That’s what I think of. And rain. I would love to see the old Irish land, castles emerging from the hillsides. Stonework, architecture - what a great getaway.

7 ) Alaska - there’s something about being thousands of miles from anything you’ve ever known and in a situation beyond your immediate control that feels freeing. I speak from experience having spent a year in Korea alone. Alaska is another exotic must on my wish list.

8 ) New Orleans - strikes me as something everyone should do once. An interesting place, from all I’ve heard.

9 ) All 50 US States - what can I say, I’m a guy who likes statistics and completing tasks. 50/50 is a great stat!

10 ) Cheju Island, South Korea - I was ill and had a twisted ankle the first time I went. I would like to go back, healthy and ready to see the island for all it has. I had so many beautiful ideas about my trip there and they turned out to be … less than ideal. I would like another chance at Cheju.

How do you make all your dreams come true?
