fan•ta•sy [fan-tuh-see, -zee] noun. 1. imagination, especially when extravagant and unrestrained. 2. the forming of mental images, especially wondrous or strange fancies; imaginative conceptualizing. Isn't that definition amazing!? "extravagant and unrestrained"!? "wonderous"?! The word fantasy was MEANT to be applied to travel because the world is just filled with so much to fantasize about. Whether its wishing to explore a new neighborhood in your own city, or to go to the farthest corners of the earth, there's more beauty out there than most of us will ever be lucky enough to see, but that doesn't mean you can't have a wish list!
I fantasize about sleeping in an igloo and watching vibrant colors light up the sky:
 |
| Northern lights, Canada |
I fantasize about hotel rooms on stilts surrounded by only the bluest ocean:
 |
| Maldives |
... and staring at stars from my bed:
 |
| "star bed" in Kenya |
And of course castles; lots and lots of beautiful castles:
 |
| Mont Saint Michel, France |
And though some prefer not to dream beyond their definitive reach, I am simply not one of those people. I say make a list of all your "wondrous or strange fancies" and fight your face off to get there; whether it's a motel or the Ritz, a Louis Vuitton trunk or a backpack. Dream big and travel often.
