I want to ...
visit Prague, Barcelona and Venice.
have endless cups of tea and then be rocked to sleep on the train from Helsinki to Beijing.
shiver with fear in the heart of Africa on a hot, dark night full of strange sounds, feeling very far from home.
sail up the Amazon river and see crocodiles, monkeys and other unpleasant animals.
drink beer in the colourful cantinas of Mexico and sleep on a Pacific beach.
look for my lost love on the streets of Sydney.
get lost in a maze of neon-lit alleys in any city in East Asia where I don't understand a word of the language.
lazily cruise Polynesia, the Stockholm archipelago and any other friendly archipelago.
explore New York, Oklahoma, the Dakotas and every other part of the U.S. A.
really feel India.
be drunk and in love among the glitter of Hong Kong
travel on a slow, small boat along the rivers and canals of the European continent, listening to chansons, boat horns, crickets and the popping of wine corks, passing underneath low-hanging branches that smell of honeysuckle and roses, close enough to the river banks to wave at playing children and hear the sizzle of meat from summer barbecues.
see every medieval castle and ancient ruin known to man.

Me two!
Like with most things, I started planning it (which admittedly took away some of the magic).
It has just been the New World for me as of now, outside of my home land. But life and limb remain, and hope persists in seeing all those wonderful things you listed, to "drink life to the lees"
Wonderful! "Come, my friends, t'is not too late to seek a newer world"...
with a few lines from Ulysses and the open skies above, all of life is an adventure!
May we never forget that.
