I shared this list with my friends on Facebook before I left on my globe-trotting internship tour at the beginning of 2011. Considering the feedback I got there, I decided to share a summary of what I achieved, (and will have to go back for the next time around) here on this blog; I hope you enjoy:
[x] = objective accomplished
[ ] = yet to be accomplished
Descriptions and/or pictures accompany the some of the more exciting achievements.
Below is my itinerary and trip goals. Let me know what you think and if I should add anything onto the list!
I consider everything under main and secondary goals achieveable. Bonus goals are things that have come up unexpctedly and/or have been suggested to me and piqued my interest enough to consider making plans for them.
