Travel To 50 Countries

I don't see me completing this goal for awhile, but I'm over 4/5 of the way there!  It's a highly ambitious task, but I originally had it at 100....now that seems nearly impossible!  I admit it, I have the travel bug hardcore.  Being a new homeowner, having a mortgage, and piles of bills has slowed it down a bit, but in the next few months I plan to start right back up again!  Roughly 95% of my international travels have been taken starting in late 2007 (when I spent almost a month in Europe), and I was hooked after that trip!  I don't mind traveling solo, and have traveled to parts of Europe, Australia, South America and Africa on my own.  I find that it just adds to the adventure, and it allows me to be more open to meeting new people along the way.  Now I have friends from every corner of the world!   When my friends say that I've been all over the world, I tell them, "Really?  I feel like there's still so much to see!"
