Travel Gear: Dream List for the Traveler
I'm a list-girl. I keep lists of everything and have them sorted out on my laptop in spreadsheets, in a notebook I carry to every meeting and in my phone. I really believe that you need to write down your tasks and goals in order to fully realize them. It doesn't matter if it's a reminder to pick up birdfood from the pet store or a goal to get yourself to Papua New Guinea.
That's why when I saw the Dream List series of books, I was pretty darned excited because these are right up my alley.
I found out about them when I spoke at Village Books in Bellingham a couple of weeks ago. A gal who attended my talk, Melissa Borghorst, started Dream List Media and is obviously as excited about travel as I am and equally as eager to encourage others to travel.
Melissa produces a series of books meant to inspire us to pursue our wildest dreams. Her first two books are Dream List for My Amazing Life and Dream List for the Traveler.
Each book begins with a brief set of instructions - a simple step by step guide to get you started realizing your dreams. It's followed by several pages where you can actually list out your dreams, providing a little check box for each one you've completed. There's lots of space for photos and journaling and, finally, contacts, for those wonderful people you meet on the road.
The biggest treat you can give yourself this holiday season is some time to daydream about your travels. Where IS it that you want to go and how will you get there? Grab a cuppa tea, a Dream List for the Traveler book and start making plans.
The Dream List books are available on Amazon, at the Dream List Media website and at bookstores in Washington, Alaska and Oregon.
Travel Well!
