I have a list of countries I want to visit, and I hope to cross them off as I complete my journey. I also have a bucket list of things I absolutely need to do when I’m there. Join in with me and help me on my travels….
A is for…
A is for Alaska. I love the idea of a wilderness where nature is completely in charge. And I want to see if its true that when a polar bear puts its paw over its nose, you can’t see him!
B is for…
B is for Bombay. Although the busyness worrys me, my Auntie spent a lot of her life there and loved it, so I need to check out what drew her back year after year.
C is for…
C is for conundrum. I can’t work out whether I would rather wander about the weathered streets of Croatia, or visit the Great Wall of China… so lets have both shall we?
D is for…
D is for Denmark. I love books, and I want to see the Little Mermaid statue (I didn’t say there would be sense behind my reasoning!)
E is for…
E is for Ethiopia. Since watching The Long Way Down with Ewan McGregor the country has been calling me. I’ll be answering soon.
F is for….
F is for Fiji. Ah come on, it looks like paradise!
G is for…..
G is for island hopping in Greece. Sure, I went to Zakynthos as a teenager, but I want to see the land of the Gods in intricate detail. Plus I always read ‘The Island’ on holiday, and I want to go. If you haven’t read it you really should.
H is for…..
H is for Hong Kong. When I went to Oz I stopped in Singapore which was lovely and chilled but Hong Kong is supposed to be the polar opposite. Bustling and engaging, I need to visit and see what the fuss is about.
I is for…..
I is for Iceland. The husband of my cousin is Icelandic, and I want to go and see his mother land.
J is for…
J is for Jamaica. Reggae beats, rice and peas and some serious sun. Yes please!
K is for…
K is for Korea. North and South.
L is for…
L is for Laos. Its just so culturally different to anything I have experienced.
M is for…
M is for Madagascar. Interesting animals found nowhere else in the world, and like the lemur says “I like to move it move it!” (see the film!)
N is for…
N is for New Zealand. Mainly because a great friend of mine lives on the South Island, and I want to say hi!
O is for…
O is for Oman. Only becuase countries beginning with O are a bit thin on the ground!
P is for…
P is for Peru. I have a fascination wit the Aztecs and I would love nothing more to trek the Inca trail and see everything that they created in the country.
Q is for…
Q is for Quebec. I have been to Toronto but nowhere else in Canada and I have heard that it is beautiful. Technically not a country, but I have been to Qatar already.
R is for…
R is for Rwanda. My love of Africa stems from somewhere unknown, but it has always appealed to me.
S is for…
S is for St Lucia. It just looks so relaxing!
T is for…
T is for Thailand. The jungle, elephant trekking and walking and then the sandy beaches of Phi Phi. Bliss.
U is for…
U is for Uraguay. I have never been to South America, but a friend spent some time there on his travels and loved it. So I want to do the same.
V is for…
V is for Vietnam. Just because.
W is for…
W is for Washington DC. Again, not a country but I need to see the caital at some point.
X is for…
Im using X as my wildcard, where I will be going to Cambodia. Sorry guys!
Y is for…
Y is for Yeman. Yeah man!
Z is for…
Z is for sleeping when im done. zzzzz 🙂
Dreaming of Sand Between My Toes 
What a fantastic idea for a list! I hope you’re able to visit and experience each place!!
Nice list. I share some of your dreams here. Also wonderful and highly recommended are Egypt and Jordan. Oh, and just a technicality but if you want to see the Liberty Bell you’ll need to go to Philadelphia, not D.C. both fun cities for historical reasons. Get a yummy cheesteak when you visit Philly.
geography isnt my strong point,, ill put them both on the list! 🙂
what an amazing list ! how far have you gone with it ?
I’m at 0. i thought i would make a list of places i hadnt been…..
‘S’ should be South Africa!! You will find a very wide variety of beautiful here!! 🙂 **
Great blog! I may have to follow your lead and start making lists now.
I love this blog as it has inspired me to make my own lists, as well! I was inspired to write my own A-Z list: http://wp.me/pSNdf-7K and finally decided to make my bucket list public: http://wp.me/PSNdf-7l Thanks for all the inspiration darling! x
these are really interesting to read, are you from outside Europe? becuase a lot of my a-z’s are further afield from me, whereas a lot of yours are european? interesting to see. love your bucket list too!! thanks for the kind words
Nice list. Maybe 26 letters are too few.
I love your eclectic list Laura: I have been lucky enough to visit 50 countries in my work and life, but there are so many more I want to experience, and more that I want to go back to and learn more about. Lately, I hàve loved just landing in one spot and really getting to know it – I am writing this with my family in a little village in northern Italy, tucked into the Ligurian Alps. It’s a VERY long way from Australia, but it is very precious. Enjoy your wanderings!
Q *is* for Québec indeed – if you adhere to the International Alphabet used in aviation that is 🙂
Quebec City is probably the most beautiful city in Canada.
With Québec, you will add “M for Montréal”, its main city, and and “J for Jazz” 😉
Tks for reading my blog btw!

Hey, I read your blog… It’s nice! You seem to have traveled a lot… Well I am from India and I have to tell you there are really good places here! Do visit India once!
Very cute idea for a list. =) I am from Alaska and happy to see it on your list!
Z is for Zimbabwe/Zambia. I can recommend the Victoria Falls and there is great whitewater rafting there. If you’re lucky you get to swim with crocs. If you’re unlucky you get to swim with hippos. 🙂 I loved it.
Instead of O for Oman, it could be for OZ (which is what to call Australia if you are in the know). Good luck on all of your travels!
ive been to oz and enjoyed it, although i will be going back soon to visit friends there!
Great list! :o) I see you were just in Barcelona, where I live now. I would recommend Cape Town for C (making your choice there even harder!) Will have to check back here in the future to see how you’re getting on with all of your travels.
