10 countries and countless cities made it on my 2013 Bucket List. France, Dominican Republic, Bermuda, Jordan, Aruba, Curacao, Canada, USA, Mexico, and Fiji were all part of my whirlwind of adventures and new experiences. I never envisioned such an amazing year of opportunity; my life continues to be a dream come true. I am blessed. Some people create a bucket list because they are dying; I created one because I want to live.
Here are my top ten favorite travel photos from 2013.
Number 5 – Children Jumping from a Pier in Curacao
Imagine an island where hidden coves reveal an emerald-blue sea. Where arcs of golden sand stretch out beneath vibrant, multicolored sunsets. Where a rich historical heritage meets Caribbean vitality. Where the only thing you need to worry about is deciding how to spend your next day in paradise. Where children throw caution to the wind and jump from piers into the refreshing ocean. Imagine Curaçao: the best-kept secret in the Caribbean.
When you travel, do you let your inner-child run free?

Ah. The freedom and innocence of children.
No, I haven’t let my inner child out yet but I believe it is time. So long as I can keep my mouth closed and not catch any flies. He-he. We’ll see if I can when I go to China next year. 😉

I’m planning a trip to next year’s Oktoberfest and this post serves as a good reminder that I should probably let the inner-child run free more often, but only after I make all those reservations and plan, plan, plan the itinerary 😉
